Disease relevance of Lhcgr

  • In summary, human uterine leiomyomas express a functional hCG/LH receptor gene at a reduced level compared with that for normal corresponding myometria [1].
  • Our observations indicate that 1) vascular pericytes may play a role in follicular development; 2) LHR expression in granulosa may require an interaction of macrophages, oocytes, and cumulus cells; and 3) thecal hypertrophy accompanied by enhanced LHR expression occurs on follicles undergoing atresia [2].
  • This prompted us to study whether experimental cryptorchidism, known to alter the process of LC repopulation, can influence the pattern of testicular LHR mRNA expression after EDS administration [3].
  • These results indicate that hypothyroidism in animals with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes promotes LH and testosterone secretions, and suggests that the enhanced-testosterone levels is partially mediated by the enhancement of LH receptor expression and an increase in the serum level of LH [4].
  • Decrease of testosterone level during an experimental African trypanosomiasis: involvement of a testicular LH receptor desensitization [5].

Associations of Lhcgr with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Lhcgr

  • In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that Egr-1 actually binds to the regulatory upstream region of the LH receptor gene and positively regulates receptor gene expression [12].
  • We have developed chimeric GnRHR-LHR that contain the full GnRHR coupled to various forms of the LH receptor C-terminus to explore the role of the LH receptor C-terminus in raft localization of the receptor and signaling [19].
  • Neither GnRH nor GnRH-A affected the binding affinity (Kd) of ovarian LH receptor [20].
 

Regulatory relationships of Lhcgr

 

Other interactions of Lhcgr

  • Endogenous association of LHR mRNA with MVK was assessed by immunoprecipitation of the ribonucleoprotein complex with MVK antibody followed by reverse transcription-PCR of the RNA associated with the immune complex [11].
  • Both aromatase inhibitors caused relatively greater inhibition of LH receptor formation when added from 20-48 h of culture, the period during which FSH-stimulated estrogen synthesis occurs (85% maximal inhibition with 4-OHA and 95% with 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione) [15].
  • Significant suppression of LH-R mRNA levels was only observed in the hypothyroid rat testes at 50 days of age [26].
  • Comparison of the FSHR gene to the LH receptor gene revealed a number of striking similarities which clearly indicate that these receptors evolved through gene duplication [27].
  • The increased expression of ER beta and a concomitant initiation of LHr, P450(scc), and P450(arom) expression in granulosa cells of medium follicles may signify a role for estrogen in follicular development [17].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lhcgr

  • Northern blot analysis of LHR mRNA showed that rolipram treatment also markedly reduced ovarian LHR mRNA levels by up to 75% [28].
  • A quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification scheme was used to measure relative levels of the FSH and LH receptor mRNAs, while in situ hybridization was used to localize FSH and LH receptor transcripts [21].
  • The LH receptor-binding potencies of N(56)dg-eLH alpha:eLH beta t and N(56)dg-eFSH alpha:eLH beta t hybrids were equivalent to that of eLH; however, both N(56)dg-alpha preparations were only 3-4% as active as eLH in the rat testis Leydig cell bioassay [29].
  • Sperm numbers were reduced in animals immunized against either the FSH or LH receptor (FSHR/LHR) [30].
  • In EDS rats, serum T was suppressed and testicular LHR binding became undetectable on days 5 and 15 after treatment [31].
