摘要
The receptor binding and biological activity of epidermal growth factor-urogastrone (EGF) was characterized in the follicle-enclosed goldfish oocyte. The binding of 125I-labeled mouse EGF (mEGF) to goldfish ovarian membrane preparation was peptide specific, saturable, reversible, and dependent on time and tissue concentration. Binding data analysis indicated the presence of a single class of high-affinity binding sites with an estimated equilibrium dissociation constant of 4.4 +/- 1.8 x 10(-10) M. The 125I-mEGF binding was displaced by unlabeled mEGF and by human recombinant transforming growth factor-alpha (hTGF-alpha). Both mEGF and hTGF-alpha were found to stimulate reinitiation of oocyte meiosis, as indicated by germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Treatment with mEGF and hTGF-alpha stimulated GVBD from a basal level of 8.5 to approximately 30% with an estimated half-maximal effective dose for EGF of 5.80 +/- 0.82 + 10(-10) and for hTGF-alpha, 1.9 +/- 1.0 x 10(-10) M. Furthermore, treatment with mEGF marginally increased 17 alpha, 20 beta-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP)-induced GVBD without significantly influencing the gonadotropin-induced response. Treatment with either mEGF or hTGF-alpha significantly reduced human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated testosterone production in a concentration-related manner. These data suggest that members of the EGF family may play a role in the regulation of ovarian function in goldfish.
