Cytochrome P450 family 19 (CYP19) plays an important role in follicular development, which is regulated by FSH. Although 3,5,3'-tri-iodothyronine (T-3) combines with FSH to induce preantral follicle growth and granulosa cell development, the mechanism involved remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which thyroid hormone (TH) and FSH regulate CYP19 expression and sterol biosynthesis during preantral follicle growth. Mice were injected subcutaneously (s.c.) with eCG (Equine chorionic gonadotropin). The results showed that eCG increased CYP19 expression in ovarian cells. CYP19 expression in granulosa cells was increased after FSH treatment, and this response was enhanced by T-3. Knockdown of CYP19 significantly decreased granulosa cell viability and hormone-stimulated proliferation. In addition, CYP19 knockdown also blocked T-3-and FSH-induced oestradiol (E-2) synthesis in granulosa cells. Furthermore, activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway was required for T-3 and FSH regulation of CYP19 expression. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that CYP19 is important for T-3-and FSH-induced granulosa cell development in the early stages. CYP19 could be a downstream effector of the PI3K/Akt pathway in regulating TH and FSH during follicular development and sterol biosynthesis. The findings suggest that CYP19 is a novel mediator of T-3-and FSH-induced follicular development.
