N2 - In earlier studies in cultures of porcine granulosa cells prepared from small antral follicles, steroidogenesis-related loci were inhibited by treatment for 48 h with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a potent activator of protein kinase C (PKC). In the present investigation, cells were incubated in serum-free medium for 48 h, with various agents present during the last 2-24 h. With TPA at 30 ng/ml, the FSH-stimulated cAMP accumulation was markedly enhanced at all time points. FSH increased the concentration of cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage (P450(scc)) mRNA throughout the 24-h incubation. At 4 and 8 h, TPA increased the accumulation of P450(scc) mRNA, having an additive effect with FSH. However, at 24 h, TPA markedly suppressed the FSH-induced increase in P450(scc) mRNA. Pretreatment of cells with FSH did not shorten the time required for TPA to become inhibitory. The stimulatory effect of 8-bromo-cAMP on P450(scc) mRNA also was augmented by TPA at 4 h, but significant inhibition was not observed at 24 h. The concentration of glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA, intended to be used for correction of gel loading, was stably increased by both cAMP and TPA. These effects of TPA suggest multiple actions of PKC(s) on the regulation of P450(scc) expression and other endpoints in ovarian granulosa cells.
