Steroidogenesis in ovarian granulosa cells is regulated by the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) via transcriptional regulation of its related genes. We herein showed the involvement of the Hippo pathway in this regulation. In KGN granulosa cell, repression of YAP/TAZ activity induced the expression of CYP11A1, HSD3B2, and CYP19A1 in a TEAD-dependent manner without cAMP stimulation. A selective inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, suppressed YAP/TAZ knockdown-indued the expression of these genes, suggesting this signal could be involved. The expression of these genes was induced by 8Br-cAMP, whereas that of CYR61 and ADATS1, typical YAP/TAZ-TEAD target genes, was suppressed, suggesting that the cellular signaling of cAMP reduced YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity. The constitutively active mutant YAP canceled the FSH- and 8Br-cAMP-mediated induction of these genes in primary rat granulosa and KGN cells, respectively. Moreover, regulation of steroidogenesis-related genes by YAP/TAZ-TEAD was independent of steroidogenic factor 1, a master gene regulator of steroidogenesis. These results suggest that YAP/TAZ-TEAD is a negative regulator of steroidogenesis and that suppression of YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity by FSH is involved in ovarian steroidogenesis.

Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an ovarian dysfunction disorder that significantly impacts female fertility. Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) are crucial somatic components supporting oocyte development that rely on glycolysis for energy production, which is essential for follicular growth. Hypoxia-induced exosomal circRNAs regulate glycolysis, but their biological functions and molecular mechanisms in POI are largely unexplored.

Background: Chen's Peiyuan Tang (CSPYT) is a compound herbal formula that has shown the potential to enhance ovarian function and reduce autophagy in ovarian granulosa cells, which plays a crucial role in follicular development and maturation. The application of Chinese herbal medicine offers a promising alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Methods: This study explores CSPYT's therapeutic mechanisms in treating POF, focusing on its modulation of autophagy through network pharmacology and transcriptomics-based analysis, predicting potential interactions and pathways.

Occupational exposure to N-hexane/2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) was found to adversely affect reproductive functions in females. However, there are few studies regarding the mechanisms underlying reproductive system damage initiated by 2,5-HD. Several studies demonstrated that 2,5-HD exerts hormonal dysfunctions in females by promoting apoptosis using rat ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) as a model.

Background: Recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) is commonly used to treat female infertility, but its short half-life necessitates multiple doses. Even corifollitropin alfa, with an extended half-life, requires supplementary injections of rhFSH after 7 days. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a long-acting follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) formulation using anti-serum albumin Fab-associated (SAFA) technology to avoid additional injections and enhance ovarian function.
