Changes in ovarian steroidogenesis accompanying oocyte maturation and ovulation were studied in the African catfish,Clarias gariepinus. Laboratory-reared females with postvitellogenic ovaries were treated with pimozide and LHRH-analogue. The plasma gonadotropin levels were determined by means of a homologous radioimmunoassay, the condition of the ovaries was studied by histological examination of the follicles, and the steroidogenetic capacity of the ovaries was analyzed byin vitro incubation of tissue fragments for 3 h with [3H]-pregnenolone and [3H]androstenedione as precursors. Data were collected at regular intervals between 0 and 16 h after pimozide-LHRH analogue administration.Until 4 h after the beginning of the experiments the plasma gonadotropin levels did not rise above 25 ng/ml, the ovaries remained in the stage of postvitellogenesis, and testosterone was the main end product of steroidogenesis. Four hours later the gonadotropin concentration in the blood had risen to more than 150 ng/ml, and the ovaries had entered the stage of germinal vesicle migration. At the same time steroidogenesis shifted towards the production of 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one, 5-pregnane-3, 17-diol-20-one, 5-pregnane-3,6,17-triol-20-one, 5-pregnane-3,17,20-triol and 5-pregnane-3,6,17,20-tetrol. During the subsequent stage of germinal vesicle breakdown the plasma gonadotropin level remained high, and the synthesis of the C21-steroids showed a further increase. Simultaneously, the production of some C19-steroid glucuronides was enhanced. The preovulation and especially the postovulation stages were accompanied by a gradual decrease in steroidogenic capacity of the ovaries, even though the plasma gonadotropin level remained high. It is concluded that the prematuration surge of gonadotropin influences the activity of enzymes involved in steroidogenesis, leading to a reduced C17,20-lyase and to an augmented activity of the enzymes 20-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD), 5-reductase, 3-HSD, 6-hydroxylase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. During ovulation the activity of all steroidogenic enzymes, including such key enzymes as 3-HSD and 17-hydroxylase, gradually decreases.Not only 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one, but also the 5-reduced pregnanes may be involved in inducing oocyte maturation and/or ovulation. The very polar triol and tetrol products may function, together with the steroid glucuronides as sex pheromones.A preliminary account of these results was presented at the XIII Conference of European Comparative Endocrinologists, Belgrade, September 7–12, 1986 相似文献

In fish, sex steroids initiate and/or accelerate the maturation of the brain-pituitary-gonad axis. In order to obtain information
on the steroid milieu during the pubertal development of male African catfish, we have monitored the conversion of [3H]-pregnenolone and [3H]-androstenedione by testis and [3H]-pregnenolone by interrenal tissue fragmentsin vitro. Pubertal development occurs between two and six months of age. Testicular development proceeds through four main stages
that are characterised histologically by the presence of spermatogonia (stage I), spermatogonia and spermatocytes (stage II),
spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids (stage III), and all germ cells including spermatozoa (stage IV). 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione
and cortisol were the main products of testes and interrenal tissue, respectively, in all stages of the pubertal development;
a change in the steroidogenic pattern was not observed during this period. The interrenal tissue displayed no significant
conversion of [3H]-pregnenolone to 11-oxygenated androgens. Blood plasma was analyzed for the presence of five androgens; testosterone, 11β-hydroxytestosterone,
11β-hydroxyandrostenedione, androstenetrione, and 11-ketotestosterone. 11-Ketotestosterone was the quantitatively dominating
androgen in the circulation at all stages of development, which was more pronounced in stages III and IV. The obvious differences
between thein vitro andin vivo results, namely 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione being the main testicular productvs. 11-ketotestosterone dominating in the blood, may indicate that 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione is converted to 11-ketotestosterone
at extratesticular sites. 相似文献

Ovarian steroidogenesis during final oocyte maturation (FOM) in the spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) was investigated by incubating ovarian fragments with tritiated pregnenolone, followed by chromatographic separation of
the radioactive products. The major tritiated steroid produced during FOM comigrated with 17α,20β,21-trihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one
(20β-dihydro-11-deoxycortisol, 20β-S) on HPLC and TLC. Only minor amounts of radioactive material coeluted with 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one
(17α,20β-P), 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC), estradiol-17β and testosterone standards in the HPLC system. Additional chromatography
by TLC confirmed the presence of radioactive estradiol-17β and testosterone but not 17α,20β-P and DOC.
All the ovarian steroids producedin vitro during FOM were assayed for their ability to induce germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of spotted seatrout oocytes. Twenty
grams of ovarian tissue were incubated with human chorionic gonadotropin and exogenous pregnenolone. The steroidal products
were purified by HPLC and TLC. Most of the maturation-inducing activity was confined to steroidal material which comigrated
in these systems with 20β-S. This material was active at a concentration of 1 ng steroid/ml medium in the GVBD assay. Smaller
amounts of material which coeluted with 11-deoxycortisol, DOC, 17α,20β-P and several minor unidentified fractions induced
GVBD at concentrations of 10 ng steroid(s)/ml.
The structure-activity relationships of authentic steroids in inducing GVBD of spotted seatrout oocytes was investigated.
Hydroxylation at the 17α, 20β or 21 positions increased potency to induce GVBD. Steroids with multiple hydroxyl groups at
the 17α and 20β positions (17α, 20β-P) and at the 17α, 20β, and 21 positions (20β-S) had maximum biological activity in the
GVBD bioassay. The results suggest that 20β-S is a major maturation-inducing steroid in spotted seatrout. 相似文献

Glyphosate was recently evaluated for its potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen and thyroid (EAT) hormone pathways, including steroidogenesis, under the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), then by Germany, the rapporteur Member State who led the European Annex 1 renewal for glyphosate, and then by the European Food Protection Agency (EFSA) also as part of the Annex 1 renewal for glyphosate. Under the EDSP, 11 Tier 1 assays were run following the USEPA's validated 890‐series test guidelines and included five in vitro and six in vivo assays to evaluate the EAT pathways. Steroidogenesis was evaluated as part of the estrogen and androgen pathways. An up‐to‐date critical review has been conducted that considered results from the EDSP Tier 1 battery, guideline regulatory studies and an in‐depth analysis of the literature studies that informed an endocrine assessment. A strength of this evaluation was that it included data across multiple levels of biological organization, and mammalian and nonmammalian test systems. There was strong agreement across the in vitro and in vivo Tier 1 battery, guideline studies and relevant literature studies, demonstrating that glyphosate does not interact with EAT pathways including steroidogenesis. Based on an analysis of the comprehensive toxicology database for glyphosate and the literature, this review has concluded that glyphosate does not have endocrine‐disrupting properties through estrogen, androgen, thyroid and steroidogenic modes of action. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17P) and testosterone (T) on the in vitro production of 17-estradiol (E2) by isolated ovarian follicles of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). 17P at 100 ng ml-1, and hCG at 100 IU ml-1 stimulated E2 production relative to controls, whereas lower doses were ineffective. T was the most effective in stimulating E2 production, followed by 17P and hCG respectively. The timecourse of E2 production was investigated for both static culture, and incubations with media replacement, with follicles being exposed to hormone treatment for 30 min, 1 or 3 h, or constantly. E2 production was observed after 30 min, 3 and 3-6 h in response to T, 17P and hCG respectively. Under static culture, E2 levels reached maximal levels in 6 h. Longer incubations resulted in further metabolism of E2 to E2-glucuronide, which resulted in the blurring of treatment effects after 18 h. Incubations with media replacement resulted in higher E2 production than in static culture. The results indicate that a 6 h incubation period is sufficient to produce significant increases in E2 production in response to hCG, 17P and T, and that incubations longer than 12 h result in losses E2 from the incubation media. These findings have implications for the validity of using static cultures to examine the effects of hormone treatment on the activity of steroid converting enzymes in vitro. 相似文献

In the dogfish sharkSqualus acanthias different germ cell stages are topographically segregated within the testis. Using this species we have developed methods
for the isolation and culture of Sertoli cells from premeiotic, meiotic and post-meiotic stages of spermatogenesis and present
preliminary evidence for stage-dependent variations in cell morphology and behavior, thymidine incorporation, protein synthesis
and steroidogenesis. The goal of future studies is to determine how maturational changes are regulated in Sertoli cells and,
in turn, to elucidate Sertoli cell-germ cell interactions. 相似文献

Changes in 17-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT), and 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20-P) levels were correlated to changes in gonadosomatic index (GSI), vitellogenin concentration (Vg), ovarian and testicular histology during the annual reproductive cycle of the red porgy, Pagrus pagrus. The production of E2, E1, T and 17,20-P was confirmed by analysis of the steroidogenic activity of ovaries. In females, the average concentration of E2 was lower than 2 ng ml–1. E2 values first increased significantly at the stage of endogenous vitellogenesis and remained high during exogenous vitellogenesis. E1 levels were lower values than E2 (less than 300 pg ml–1), but they increased at the beginning of exogenous vitellogenesis. Estrogens concentrations followed similar pattern to Vg and were significantly correlated. Mean levels of T were mostly lower than 1 ng ml–1. They followed a pattern similar to that of E2 except for a further increase observed at the stage of final maturation. T and E2 levels were significantly correlated. The concentration of 11KT did not change significantly. The levels of 17,20-P ranged between 0.22 and 1.22 ng ml–1 but changes were not related to gametogenesis. In males, the concentrations of T and 11KT fluctuated significantly during the sexual maturity stages, showing a similar pattern and were significantly correlated to GSI changes. T levels increased during spermiogenesis and spermiation stages to reach about 3 ng ml–1. 11KT levels stayed about half those of T. The levels of estrogens showed no significant changes. Level of 17,20-P showed no significant variation related to male maturity. Results are discussed in relation to changes in plasma steroid levels during gametogenesis of other multiple spawner species. 相似文献
