ABSTRACT
The lipogenesis and steroidogenesis of granulosa cells are crucial during follicular development, yet it remains unclear whether dual-specificity phosphatase 8 (DUSP8) is involved. In this study, the specific role of DUSP8 in lipogenesis and steroidogenesis was investigated through culturing chicken granulosa cells in vitro. The results revealed that the expression levels of adipogenic genes were elevated after DUSP8 overexpression and reduced after knockdown. The same was observed for lipid deposition in granulosa cells. Meanwhile, the steroidogenic gene expression and progesterone synthesis were promoted after DUSP8 overexpression and inhibited after knockdown. In addition, we also found that DUSP8 blocked the phosphorylation of extracellular regulatory kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Based on the previous results that activated ERK1/2 signaling inhibited lipid deposition and progesterone synthesis in chicken granulosa cells, we demonstrated that DUSP8 promoted lipid deposition and progesterone synthesis through mediating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. The results will improve our understanding of the molecular regulatory mechanisms regarding lipid metabolism and progesterone synthesis in chicken granulosa cells.
