Popis: A growing body of information suggests antigonadotropic and atretogenic roles for granulosa cell-derived insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) 4 and 5 during ovarian folliculogenesis. Activation of protein kinase-A (PKA) in rat granulosa cells has been shown to modulate the relative expression of IGFBP-4 and -5 transcripts and proteins. In this article, we assess the role of protein kinase-C (PKC) in this regard. Provision of granulosa cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (but not 4αPMA, an inert analogue), a tumor-promoting phorbol ester and an established activator of PKC, was without significant effect on the expression of IGFBP-4 transcripts but resulted in biphasic dose-dependent alterations in IGFBP-5 transcripts and in the accumulation of the IGFBP-4 and -5 proteins. Comparable effects were noted for GnRH, an established PKC agonist. Provision of staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of PKC, produced significant dose-dependent decrements in t...
