Abstrakt: Neuromedin S (NMS) plays key roles in reproductive regulation, while its function and mechanism in follicular development remain unclear. The current study aims to investigate the specific role and mechanisms of NMS and its receptors in regulating the proliferation and steroidogenesis of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). Phenotypically, a certain concentration of NMS addition promoted the proliferation and estrogen production of goat GCs, accompanied by an increase in the G1/S cell population and upregulation of the expression levels of cyclin D1, cyclin dependent kinase 6, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily A, polypeptide 1, 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily A, polypeptide 1, while the effects of NMS treatment were effectively hindered by knockdown of neuromedin U receptor type 2 (NMUR2). Mechanistically, activation of NMUR2 with NMS maintained endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca 2+ ) homeostasis by triggering the PLCG1-IP3R pathway, which helped preserve ER morphology, sustained an appropriate level of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (UPR er ), and suppressed the nuclear translocation of activating transcription factor 4. Moreover, NMS maintained intracellular Ca 2+ homeostasis to activate the calmodulin 1-large tumor suppressor kinase 1 pathway, ultimately orchestrating the regulation of goat GC proliferation and estrogen production through the Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator-ATF4-c-Jun pathway. Crucially, the effects of NMS were mitigated by concurrent knockdown of the NMUR2 gene. Collectively, these data suggest that activation of NMUR2 by NMS enhances cell proliferation and estrogen production in goat GCs through modulating the ER and intracellular Ca 2+ homeostasis, leading to activation of the YAP1-ATF4-c-Jun pathway. These findings offer valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms involved in follicular growth and development, providing a novel perspective for future research.
