Descripción
An adequate vascular supply is important to provide endocrine and paracrine signals during follicular development. We evaluated the direct in vivo effects of both the GnRH-agonist Leuprolide acetate (LA) and the GnRH-antagonist Antide (Ant) on the expression of VEGF-A and ANPT-1 and their receptors in ovarian follicles from prepubertal eCG-treated rats. We also examined whether the changes observed in apoptosis by GnRH-I analogs have an effect on the caspase cascade. LA significantly decreased the levels of VEGF-A, its receptor Flk-1, and ANPT-1 when compared to controls, while the co-injection of Ant interfered with this effect. No changes were observed in the levels of Tie-2 after treatment with these analogs. When we measured the follicular content of caspase-3 protein, we observed that LA significantly increased the level of the active form. The co-injection of Ant interfered with this effect and Ant alone significantly decreased caspase-3 cleavage. IHC analyses corroborated these data. Notably, while LA increased caspase-3 activity levels, Ant decreased them when compared to controls. In follicles obtained from LA-treated rats, cleavage of PARP (a substrate of caspase-3) from the intact 113-kDa protein showed a significant enhancement in an 85-kDa fragment. The co-injection of Ant interfered with this effect. Ant alone significantly decreased PARP cleavage as compared to controls. We conclude that the decrease in VEGF-A, its receptor Flk-1/KDR, and ANPT-1 produced by the administration of GnRH-I agonist is one of the mechanisms involved in ovarian cell apoptosis. This suggests an intraovarian role of an endogenous GnRH-like peptide in gonadotropin-induced follicular development.
