AbstractThere is increasing evidence that epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) ligand and Kit ligand (KL) play critical roles in controlling follicular development in mammals. Because little is known about their expressions in the ovary of nonmammalian vertebrate, our study aimed to examine the expression, hormonal regulation, and interaction of HB-EGF and KL in the chicken ovary. Using semiquantitative RT-PCR, we demonstrated that ovarian HB-EGF expression increased dramatically with the posthatching ovarian growth. In line with this finding, HB-EGF was shown to be produced primarily by the growing oocytes and capable of stimulating the proliferation of granulosa cells in prehierarchal (3 mm) and preovulatory follicles (F5 and F1). Although HB-EGF expression is mainly restricted to the oocytes, its expression in cultured granulosa cells could be transiently yet strongly induced by HB-EGF and other EGFR ligands including EGF and TGF-α. And the inducing effect of HB-EGF was completely abolished by AG1478 (10 μM) or PD98059 (100 μM), indicating that the action of HB-EGF is mediated by EGFR and intracellular MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Unlike mammals, only KL-1, not the other three isoforms identified (KL-2, -3, and -4), was detected to be predominantly expressed in the chicken ovary. Interestingly, KL expression in undifferentiated and differentiated granulosa cells could be transiently down-regulated by HB-EGF, implying an intrafollicular communication between growing oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells through the interplay of EGFR ligand and KL. Collectively, our data suggest that HB-EGF is likely a paracrine signal from the oocyte to regulate granulosa cell proliferation and HB-EGF and KL expression during ovarian follicular development.
