abstractText | Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates the synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by stimulating the transcription of Fshbeta gene. Our iTRAQ quantitative proteomics result showed that the abundance of alpha-actinin4 (ACTN4) increased in the nuclei of LbetaT2 cells upon GnRH induction. Using RNA interference, reverse transcription and real-time PCR, luciferase and transient transfection assays, we proved that ACTN4 is involved in the regulation of mouse Fshbeta gene (mFshbeta) transcription and its C-terminal calmodulin (CaM)-like domain is crucial for this process. Our study suggests that ACTN4 nuclear translocation mediates GnRH stimulation of mFshbeta gene transcription. |
