Expression regulated by Growth Factors/ cytokines
Comment Divergence of intracellular signaling pathways and early response genes of two closely related fibroblast growth factors, FGF8 and FGF18, in bovine ovarian granulosa cells. Jiang Z et al. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) modulate ovarian function, including FGF8 and FGF18. These FGFs activate the same receptors, although FGF18 is unusual in that it increases apoptosis in ovarian granulosa cells whereas the 'typical' response to FGF is increased proliferation. The objective of the present study was to determine which early response genes and pathways are activated by FGF8 and FGF18 in bovine granulosa cells. FGF8 increased abundance of mRNA encoding the FGF-responsive genes SPRY1, SPRY2, SPRY4, NR4A1 and NR4A3 whereas FGF18 did not. FGF8 increased but FGF18 decreased levels of mRNA encoding the growth arrest associated protein, GADD45B. FGF8 increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation but FGF18 did not. Microarray analysis identified EGR1, FOS, FOSL1, BAMBI, XIRP1 and PLK2 as other FGF8 immediate-early response genes, and FGF18 stimulated EGR1, FOSL1, BAMBI and PLK2, but not FOS or XIRP1. This study demonstrates that FGF8 and FGF18 signal through divergent pathways in ovarian granulosa cells, despite reportedly similar receptor activation patterns.

Comment Cloning and Characterization of the SSB-1 and SSB-4 Genes Expressed in Zebrafish Gonads. Li JZ et al. The protein of the gustavus (gus) gene has a typical SOCS box domain and repeats in the splA and RyR (SPRY) domains. GUS can interact with Vasa and is necessary for the specification of germ cells. We cloned two zebrafish genes, SSB-1 and SSB-4 (SPRY domain SOCS box proteins). Phylogenetic analysis shows that zebrafish SSB-1 and SSB-4 are clustered into clades of SSB-1-like and SSB-4-like genes from other species. RT-PCR analysis of tissues revealed that zebrafish SSB-1 and -4 are expressed in the ovary and testis. We investigated the spatial expression patterns of zebrafish SSB-1 and -4 in embryos from the two-cell stage to 72 h postfertilization (hpf) using whole-mount in situ hybridization. SSB-1 and -4 transcripts were present in all blastomeres during the early embryonic stages, but the genes differ in their expression pattern. SSB-4 mRNA was located in the region of the primordial germ cells in 24 and 72 hpf embryos, but SSB-1 mRNA was not detected at these stages. We hypothesize that SSB-4 plays a role in the early development of germ cells.
