Abstract
Nesfatin-1 has recently been indicated as a pleiotropic molecule that is primarily involved in the metabolic regulation of reproductive functions acting at hypothalamic level. The aim of this study was to explore the local action of nesfatin-1 in swine ovarian follicles. Nucleobindin 2 (NUCB2) was verified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in swine granulosa cells from different sized follicles and nesfatin-1 was localised by immunohistochemistry in sections of the whole porcine ovary. The effects of different concentrations of nesfatin-1 on cell growth, steroidogenesis and the redox status of granulosa cells were determined in vitro. In addition, the effects of nesfatin-1 were evaluated in an angiogenesis bioassay because vessel growth is essential for ovarian follicle function. Immunohistochemistry revealed intense positivity for nesfatin-1 in swine granulosa cells in follicles at all developmental stages. Expression of the gene encoding the precursor protein NUCB2 was higher in granulosa cells from large rather than from medium and small follicles. Further, nesfatin-1 stimulated cell proliferation and progesterone production and interfered with redox status by modifying nitric oxide production and non-enzyme scavenging activity in granulosa cells from large follicles. Moreover, nesfatin-1 exhibited a stimulatory effect on angiogenesis. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that nesfatin-1 is physiologically present in the swine ovarian follicle, where it may impair granulosa cell functions.
