The effect of recombinant bovine interleukin-2 (IL-2) on steroidogenesis and numbers of bovine ovarian granulosa and thecal cells has been studied. Granulosa cells have been examined from both small (surface diameter ≤5 mm) and large (≥8 mm) follicles, whereas thecal cells from only large follicles were utilized. Estradiol and progesterone production per cell by granulosa cells from large follicles was 2- to 3-times greater than those from small follicles. Increasing doses of IL-2 significantly…

Regulation of the recruitment and function of T lymphocytes by endothelial and steroidogenic cells
TLDR
To understand how the process immune cell recruitment into the CL is regulated, a protocol was developed to isolate endothelial cells from the CL and the number of adhered T lymphocytes was determined by fluorescence.

TLDR
It is suggested that understanding the role immune cells play could lead to identification of new strategies to improve fertility in dairy cattle and other species.

Short-term Western-style diet negatively impacts reproductive outcomes in primates
TLDR
Short-term WSD consumption promotes a proinflammatory intrafollicular microenvironment that is associated with impaired preimplantation development in the absence of large-scale metabolic changes.

Interleukin-1 stimulates growth and inhibits progesterone secretion in cultures of porcine granulosa cells.
TLDR
Although IL-1 increased cell number and reduced progesterone secretion of fully mature granulosa cells after 5 days in low density cultures, it seemed that the proliferating population were not the cells with luteinized morphology and positive 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase staining, which appeared to have less mature morphology.
Interleukin-6: effects on and production by rat granulosa cells in vitro.
TLDR
The results of the present study suggest a role for IL-6 in the regulation of progesterone production, that the granulosa cell is a source of IL- 6 and that the release ofIL-6 by the Granulosa Cell is a regulated event.
Lymphokines, including interleukin-2, alter gonadotropin-stimulated progesterone production and proliferation of human granulosa-luteal cells in vitro.
TLDR
It is concluded that human recombinant IL-2 significantly inhibits progesterone production stimulated by hCG in human granulosa-luteal cells and had a marked inhibitory effect on forskolin-induced progestersone release.

Interleukin-2 is a potent inhibitor of Leydig cell steroidogenesis.
TLDR
The results suggest that a T cell growth factor, IL-2, is a potent inhibitor of steroidogenesis and may play a paracrine role in modulating Leydig cell function.
Multihormone regulation of steroidogenesis in cultured porcine granulosa cells: studies in serum-free medium.
TLDR
It is indicated that FSH is the most important hormonal stimulus for progesterone synthesis in immature granulosa cells, however, LH, estradiol, and insulin exert direct actions on thegranulosa cell that may be required for the development of optimal steroidogenic potential.
Cytokine modulation of progesterone and estradiol secretion in cultures of luteinized human granulosa cells.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that cytokines modulate the steroidogenesis of luteinized human granulosa cells in vitro and the results suggest that cytokine may play permissive roles in regulating luteal cell function.
Hormonal regulation of thecal cell function during antral follicle development in bovine ovaries.
TLDR
Analysis of the developmental regulation of thecal cell function revealed that androgen production and hormone responsiveness were relatively constant in small, medium, and large follicles, and in contrast, progesterone production and hormones responsiveness were highest in small follicle, intermediate in medium follicles), and lowest in large follicle.
Effects of cytokines on prostaglandin production and steroidogenesis of incubated preovulatory follicles of the rat.
TLDR
The effects of three different lymphocyte- and macrophage-derived cytokines on the production of ovulatory mediators such as prostaglandins and progesterone in the preovulatory follicle of the eCG/hCG-primed immature rat are examined.
