[PMID: 37276900 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Previous studies have implicated the attractive role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the remodeling of mammalian tissues. The migration of granulosa cells (GCs), which are the main supporting cells in ovarian follicles, stimulates the follicular remodeling. Here, with the cultured GCs as the follicular model, the actin gamma 1 (ACTG1) was observed to significantly promote the migration and proliferation while inhibit the apoptosis of GCs, suggesting that ACTG1 was required for ovarian remodeling. Moreover, we identified the trans-regulatory lncRNA of ACTG1 (TRLA), which was epigenetically targeted by histone H3 lysine 4 acetylation (H3K4ac). Mechanistically, the 2-375 nt of TRLA bound to ACTG1's mRNA to increase the expression of ACTG1. Furthermore, TRLA facilitated the migration and proliferation while inhibited the apoptosis of GCs, thereby accelerating follicular remodeling. Besides, TRLA acted as a ceRNA for miR-26a to increase the expression of high-mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1). Collectively, TRLA induces the remodeling of ovarian follicles via complementary to ACTG1's mRNA and regulating miR-26a/HMGA1 axis in GCs. These observations revealed a novel and promising trans-acting lncRNA mechanism mediated by H3K4ac, and TRLA might be a new target to restore follicular remodeling and development.

Shoorei H, Seify M, Talebi SF, Majidpoor J, Dehaghi YK, Shokoohi M. Different types of bisphenols alter ovarian steroidogenesis: Special attention to BPA. Heliyon 2023; 9:e16848. [PMID: 37303564 PMCID: PMC10250808 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) and some of its analogues, including BPS, BPAF, and BPE, are used extensively in the manufacture of plastics. These synthetic chemicals could seriously alter the functionality of the female reproductive system. Although the number of studies conducted on other types of bisphenols is smaller than the number of studies on BPA, the purpose of this review study was to evaluate the effects of bisphenol compounds, particularly BPA, on hormone production and on genes involved in ovarian steroidogenesis in both in vitro (human and animal cell lines) and in vivo (animal models) studies. The current data show that exposure to bisphenol compounds has adverse effects on ovarian steroidogenesis. For example, BPA, BPS, and BPAF can alter the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis by targeting kisspeptin neurons involved in steroid feedback signals to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) cells, resulting in abnormal production of LH and FSH. Exposure to BPA, BPS, BPF, and BPB had adverse effects on the release of some hormones, namely 17-β-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), and testosterone (T). BPA, BPE, BPS, BPF, and BPAF are also capable of negatively altering the transcription of a number of genes involved in ovarian steroidogenesis, such as the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR, involved in the transfer of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the steroidogenesis process begins), cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 (Cyp17a1, which is involved in the biosynthesis of androgens such as testosterone), 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme (3β-HSD, involved in the biosynthesis of P4), and cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1 (Cyp19a1, involved in the biosynthesis of E2). Exposure to BPA, BPB, BPF, and BPS at prenatal or prepubertal stages could decrease the number of antral follicles by activating apoptosis and autophagy pathways, resulting in decreased production of E2 and P4 by granulosa cells (GCs) and theca cells (TCs), respectively. BPA and BPS impair ovarian steroidogenesis by reducing the function of some important cell receptors such as estrogens (ERs, including ERα and ERβ), progesterone (PgR), the orphan estrogen receptor gamma (ERRγ), the androgen receptor (AR), the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), the FSHR (follicle-stimulating hormone receptor), and the LHCGR (luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor). In animal models, the effects of bisphenol compounds depend on the type of animals, their age, and the duration and dose of bisphenols, while in cell line studies the duration and doses of bisphenols are the matter.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 259:115031. [PMID: 37210998 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the influence of the environmental endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) on germ cell cyst breakdown and explore the possible mechanisms regulating this activity. METHODS BPA (2 μg/kg/d or 20 μg/kg/d) or tocopherol-stripped corn oil (vehicle control) was administered to pregnant mice by gavage at gestational day 11, and the offspring (prenatally treated mice) were sacrificed and ovariectomized at postnatal day (PND) 4 and PND22. Ovarian morphology was documented in the first filial (F1) generation female offspring, and the follicles were analyzed and classified morphologically on PND 4. To discover differentially expressed genes and associated target pathways, we used RNA-seq, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. The mRNA expression of key steroid hormone synthesis-related genes was evaluated by Q-PCR in forskolin-induced KGN cells. Western blotting (WB) and qRTPCR were used to determine the protein and gene expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). RESULTS BPA, a typical endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), decreased the expression of the key steroid hormone synthesis-related genes P450scc and aromatase, while the expression of Star increased significantly and caused no significant difference in the expression of Cyp17a1 or HSD3β in forskolin-induced KGN cells. Moreover, we confirmed that in utero exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of BPA (2 μg/kg/d and 20 μg/kg/d) could significantly disrupt germ cell cyst breakdown, leading to the generation of fewer primordial follicles than in the control group. The factors mediating the inhibitory effects included the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and a significant downregulation of BDNF. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that in utero exposure to BPA at low doses, which are lower than recommended as 'safe' dosages, may influence the formation of primordial follicles by inhibiting the expression of steroid hormone synthesis-related genes and partly by regulating the BDNF-mediated PI3K/Akt pathway.

Bisphenol A and bisphenol S both disrupt ovine granulosa cell steroidogenesis but through different molecular pathways. J Ovarian Res 2023; 16:30. [PMID: 36737804 PMCID: PMC9896735 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-023-01114-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian granulosa cells (GC) are essential for the development and maturation of a proper oocyte. GC are sensitive to endocrine disruptors, including bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogue bisphenol S (BPS), plasticisers present in everyday consumer products. BPA exhibits greater binding affinity for the membrane oestrogen receptor (GPER) than for the nuclear oestrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ). Here, we analysed the effects of BPA and BPS on the steroidogenesis of ovine GC in vitro, as well as their early mechanisms of action, the ovine being a relevant model to study human reproductive impairment. Disruption of GC steroidogenesis might alter oocyte quality and consequently fertility rate. In addition, we compared the effects of a specific GPER agonist (G-1) and antagonist (G-15) to those of BPA and BPS. Ewe GC were cultured with BPA or BPS (10 or 50 µM) or G-1 (1 µM) and/or G-15 (10 µM) for 48 h to study steroidogenesis. RESULTS Both BPA and BPS (10 µM) altered the secretion of progesterone, however, only BPS (10 µM) affected oestradiol secretion. RNA-seq was performed on GC after 1 h of culture with BPA or BPS (50 µM) or G-1 (10 µM), followed by real-time PCR analyses of differentially expressed genes after 12, 24 and 48 h of culture. The absence of induced GPER target genes showed that BPA and BPS did not activate GPER in GC after 1 h of treatment. These molecules exhibited mainly independent early mechanisms of action. Gene ontology analysis showed that after 1 h of treatment, BPA mainly disrupted the expression of the genes involved in metabolism and transcription, while BPS had a smaller effect and impaired cellular communications. BPA had a transient effect on the expression of CHAC1 (NOTCH signalling and oxidative balance), JUN (linked to MAPK pathway), NR4A1 (oestradiol secretion inhibition), ARRDC4 (endocytose of GPCR) and KLF10 (cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis), while expression changes were maintained over time for the genes LSMEM1 (linked to MAPK pathway), TXNIP (oxidative stress) and LIF (cell cycle regulation) after 12 and 48 h, respectively. CONCLUSION In conclusion, although they exhibited similar effects, BPA and BPS impaired different molecular pathways in GC in vitro. New investigations will be necessary to follow the temporal changes of these genes over time, as well as the biological processes involved.

Abstract
Data on the cumulative effects of chemical substances are necessary for the proper risk assessment, but their availability is still insufficient. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of methyl paraben (MePB) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) on the cells of the skin line (A431) and to compare the cytotoxic effects of the tested substances after single application to A431 cells with the effects of an equimolar/equitoxic (1:1) binary mixture of these compounds as well as their mixtures in ratio 1:3: and 3:1. On the basis of the obtained results, it was found that there were interactions between the tested compounds in terms of cytotoxic effect on A431, assessed on the basis of metabolic activity of cells (MTT test) and integrity of their cell membranes (NRU test). The obtained values of synergy coefficients (SI) and isobolographic analysis indicate that between the tested chemicals in a two-component equimolar mixture (1:1) there is a synergism of action, which, at a high DBP content in the mixture (> 50%) turned into antagonism. Observations using a holotomographic microscope show morphological changes in A431 cells after exposure to both DBP and MePB separately and binary mixtures of these compounds, compared to untreated cells. The observed changes in cell morphology seem to be more pronounced when the cells are exposed to the binary mixtures of DBP and MePB than when exposed to these substances individually, which may confirm the synergy of cytotoxic activity between them (this phenomenon was observed for the higher of the tested concentrations in all tested proportions). It is important to consider such effects when considering the effects of cumulative exposure in the risk assessment in order not to underestimate the risk of adverse effects associated with exposure to chemical mixtures.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a plasticizer and endocrine disruptor, has been substituted by bisphenol S (BPS), a structural analogue that had already shown adverse effects on granulosa cell steroidogenesis. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of chronic exposure to BPS, a possible endocrine disruptor, on steroid hormones in the ovary, oviduct and plasma using the ewe as a model. Given the interaction between steroidogenesis and the metabolic status, the BPS effect was tested according to two diet groups. Eighty adult ewes were allotted to restricted (R) and well-fed (WF) groups, that were further subdivided into two subgroups. Ewes were exposed to 50 µg BPS/kg/day in their diet (R50 and WF50 groups) or were unexposed controls (R0 and WF0 groups). After at least 3 months of BPS exposure, preovulatory follicular fluid, oviduct fluid and plasma were collected and steroid hormones were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). A deleterious effect of restricted diet on the volume of oviduct fluid and numbers of pre-ovulatory follicles was observed. Exposure to BPS impaired estradiol concentrations in both follicular and oviduct fluids of well-fed ewes and progesterone, estradiol and estrone concentrations in plasma of restricted ewes. In addition, a significant interaction between metabolic status and BPS exposure was observed for seven steroids, including estradiol. In conclusion, BPS acts in ewes as an endocrine disruptor with differential actions according to metabolic status.

Abstract
While Bisphenol A (BPA) has been a requisite plastic additive, as an endocrine disruptor it has been associated with adverse health effects including ovarian disorders. Following implemented restrictions on BPA usage, it is replaced by alternative bisphenols, biological effects of which have not been adequately investigated. Our study examined effects of bisphenols AF (BPAF) and S (BPS), on the human ovarian granulosa cell line COV434, and compared them with BPA, with the focus on cell viability (10-9-10-4 M) and angiogenesis-related factors (10-9-10-5 M), relevant for both the follicle development and ovarian pathologies: vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). Each bisphenol impaired cell viability and increased generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species at the highest concentration (10-4 M). While VEGF-A production in BPAF-treated groups did not differ from the control, all doses of BPS and BPA caused a marked reduction in VEGF-A output. Nevertheless, the alterations in VEGF-A production were not caused by the impact on VEGFA gene expression since there were no indications of VEGFA downregulation in the presence of either BPS or BPA. Interestingly, we observed a similar pattern of PDGF-AA output reduction in BPS- and BPA-treated groups to that of VEGF-A production. BPAF and BPS (10-5 M) increased MMP9 expression, however, this effect was not reflected by the increase in MMP-9 production. The results obtained demonstrate that the novel bisphenol analogs are not inert with respect to the ovarian cells, and their effects might contribute to dysregulation of granulosa cells functions.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do plastic laboratory consumables and cell culture media used in ART contain bisphenols? SUMMARY ANSWER The majority of human embryo culture media assessed contained bisphenol S close to the nanomolar concentration range, while no release of bisphenols by plastic consumables was detected under routine conditions. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The deleterious effect of the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) on female fertility raised concerns regarding ART outcome. BPA was detected neither in media nor in the majority of plastic consumables used in ART; however, it might have already been replaced by its structural analogs, including bisphenol S (BPS). STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Seventeen plastic consumables and 18 cell culture and ART media were assessed for the presence of bisphenols. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Ten different bisphenols (bisphenol A, S, AF, AP, B, C, E, F, P and Z) were measured using an isotopic dilution according to an on-line solid phase extraction/liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE While the plastic consumables did not release bisphenols under routine conditions, 16 of the 18 cell culture and ART media assessed contained BPS. Six media exhibited BPS concentrations higher than 1 nM and reached up to 6.7 nM (1693 ng/l). LARGE SCALE DATA N/A. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Further studies are required to investigate a greater number of ART media to identify less potentially harmful ones, in terms of bisphenol content. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS As BPS has already been reported to impair oocyte quality at nanomolar concentrations, its presence in ART media, at a similar concentration range, could contribute to a decrease in the ART success rate. Thus far, there has been no regulation of these compounds in the ART context. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS This study was financially supported by the ‘Centre-Val de Loire’ Region (Bemol project, APR IR 2017), INRAE, BRGM, the French National Research Agency (project ANR-18-CE34-0011-01 MAMBO) and the BioMedicine Agency (Project 18AMP006 FertiPhenol).

Bisphenol analogs AF, S and F: Effects on functional characteristics of porcine granulosa cells. Reprod Toxicol 2021; 103:18-27. [PMID: 34019995 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2021.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
In order to replace industrial functions of the restricted endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA), its structural analogs are increasingly employed without adequate assessment of their biological actions. Our study examined effects of the bisphenols AF (BPAF), S (BPS) and F (BPF), on functions of porcine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) with the focus on viability, steroid production (10-9-10-4M), and expression of factors (10-9-10-5M) important for the follicle development: vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Cell viability was not impaired by the bisphenol analogs, except for the highest BPAF concentration (10-4M). While the lower concentrations of the bisphenols were without effect, each of them reduced follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced progesterone synthesis at the highest dose. Estradiol synthesis was sensitive to BPS, inhibitory effects of which were manifested from the concentration of 10-6M. Treatment of GCs with the selected bisphenol concentrations did not result in marked alterations in steroidogenic enzyme expression. Bisphenols did not significantly modulate VEGFA mRNA expression or output either under basal or FSH-stimulated conditions. BPF at 10-5M increased MMP9 expression in FSH-stimulated cells. FSH upregulated FOXO1 expression, however, none of the bisphenols significantly affected FOXO1 levels either in basal or in FSH-stimulated conditions. AHR mRNA expression remained unchanged after bisphenol treatment. Although the significant effects of BPAF, BPS and BPF appeared only at supraphysiological doses, the results obtained indicate that BPA analogs are not inert with regard to ovarian physiology.

Abstract
This study summarizes the knowledge about effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues on reproduction of pigs and some parameters of their offspring during period 2011-2020. Bisphenols are known as one of the most harmful environmental toxicants with endocrine-disrupting properties. One study in the reference period related to male reproductive system. Treatment with an antagonist of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) - G15, and bisphenol A and its analogues, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and tetrachromobisphenol A (TCBPA) diversely disrupted protein molecules controlling the biogenesis and function of microRNA in Leydig cells. Nine studies examined the effect of BPA, bisphenol S (BPS) or fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) on female reproductive system. From the possible protective effect's point of view seems to be perspective the administration of melatonin in BPA-exposed oocytes. Finally, two studies were found to evaluate the maternal exposure to BPA on offspring's meat quality, muscle metabolism and oxidative stress. Administration of methyl donor improved antioxidant enzymes activity and reduced oxidative stress in piglets.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) is a structural analog of the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA); it is the main BPA replacement in the plastics industry. Previous studies have shown that BPA and BPS exhibit similar effects on reproduction in fish and rodent species. BPS reportedly alters steroidogenesis in bovine granulosa cells. Luteinised granulosa cells collected from 59 women who were undergoing an in vitro fertilization procedure were cultured for 48 h in the presence or absence of BPS (10 nM, 100 nM, 1 µM, 10 µM or 50 µM). BPS exposure was investigated by assessing follicular fluids from these 59 women for their BPS content. Culture medium, cells, total messenger RNA (mRNA) and total protein extracted from the luteinised granulosa cells were examined for oestradiol and progesterone secretion, cellular proliferation, viability, gene expression, steroidogenic enzyme expression and cell signaling. BPS was measured in follicular fluids using mass spectrometry. Exposure of granulosa cells to 10 or 50 µM BPS for 48 h induced a 16% (p = 0.0059) and 64% (p < 0.0001) decrease, respectively, in progesterone secretion; 50 µM BPS decreased oestradiol secretion by 46% (p < 0.0001). Ten µM BPS also tended to reduce CYP11A1 protein expression by 37% (p = 0.0947) without affecting HSD3B1 and CYP19A1 expression. Fifty µM BPS increased ERRγ expression. Environmental levels of BPS (nanomolar range) did not induce changes in steroidogenesis in human granulosa cells. The effects of BPS were observed after only 48 h of BPS exposure. These acute effects might be similar to chronic effects of physiological BPS levels.

Abstract
Neutrophils (PMN) play a key role in eliciting congenital immune response. These cells are equipped with specific receptors that are located on the surface of their cell membrane. These receptors produce various signals which in turn help in the effective functioning of PMN. The activity of these cells may be modified by factors of endo- and exogenous origin, including xenoestrogens such as bisphenol A (BPA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of BPA on the expression of CD11c, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD62L and CD284 compounds on the surface of neutrophils in women and men. The study material included PMN isolated from the whole blood. The cells were incubated in the presence of BPA and/or LPS. Flow cytometry technique was used to evaluate the expression of CD antigens. Studies of these receptors indicate that BPA, at a concentration corresponding to the serum level of this compound in healthy subjects as well as at higher doses, induces changes in the immunophenotype of PMN, which may lead to immunity disorders associated with the dysfunction of these cells. Moreover, the observed effects of xenoestrogen on the expression of CD11c, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD62L and CD284 differentiation markers on these cells are sex-independent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread compound in the plastic industry that is especially used to produce baby bottles, food packaging and metal cans. BPA, an endocrine disruptor, leads to alterations in reproductive function and therefore has been banned from the food industry. Unregulated BPA analogues, particularly Bisphenol S (BPS), have emerged and are now used in the plastic industry. Thus, this study aimed to examine the acute effects of low and environmental doses of BPS on ewe oocyte quality and developmental competence, and its mechanism of action, during in vitro maturation. METHODS Ewe cumulus-oocyte complexes underwent in vitro maturation in the presence or absence of BPS (1 nM, 10 nM, 100 nM, 1 µM or 10 µM). Oocytes were then subjected to in vitro fertilisation and development. RESULTS 1 µM BPS induced a 12.7% decrease in the cleavage rate (p = 0.004) and a 42.6% decrease in the blastocyst rate (p = 0.017) compared to control. The blastocyst rate reduction was also observed with 10 nM BPS. Furthermore, 10 µM BPS reduced the oocyte maturation rate, and 1 µM BPS decreased cumulus cell progesterone secretion. PR and AMH gene expression were reduced in cumulus cells. BPS induced a 5-fold increase in MAPK 3/1 activation (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS BPS impaired ewe oocyte developmental competence. The data suggest that BPS might not be a safe BPA analogue. Further studies are required to elucidate its detailed mechanism of action.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical of high production volume that is used widely in many industries and is known as a xenooestrogen and anti-thyroid hormone endocrine disrupter. There is little information regarding the effects of BPA in the presence of thyroid hormone on porcine granulosa cell development. Thus, the primary granulosa cells were treated with thyroxine (T4, 10 nM), BPA (10 µM) or T4 plus BPA; we subsequently evaluated the effects of T4 or BPA on 17β-estradiol synthesis, cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Our data showed that BPA significantly increased the accumulation of 17β-estradiol and promoted granulosa cell proliferation, whereas T4 significantly decreased 17β-estradiol and had no effect on cellular proliferation. In addition, it was noteworthy that T4 treatment induced apoptosis in porcine granulosa cells and BPA co-incubation attenuated T4-induced apoptosis as shown from flow cytometric assay analysis. We hypothesized that BPA attenuates T4-induced apoptosis by regulating 17β-estradiol accumulation and oestrogen receptor-mediated signalling pathways. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that T4 affected 17β-estradiol accumulation and induced cellular apoptosis, but did not affect granulosa cell proliferation. Exposure to BPA increased 17β-estradiol accumulation, promoted granulosa cell proliferation and attenuated T4-induced apoptosis in porcine granulosa cells in vitro.
