摘要： Inflammation of the reproductive tract in dairy cows lead to functional disorders of follicular granulosa cells (GCs) in mammalian ovaries resulting in infertility and serious losses to the livestock industry. Lipopolysac-charide (LPS) can induce an inflammatory response in follicular granulosa cells in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the cellular regulatory mechanism of MNQ (2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) on eliminating the inflammatory response and restoring normal functions for bovine ovarian follicular GCs cultured in vitro exposed to LPS. The cytotoxicity of MNQ and LPS on GCs were detected by MTT method to determine the safe concentration. The relative expression of inflammatory factors and steroid synthesis-related genes were detected by qRT-PCR. The concentration of steroid hormones in the culture broth were detected by ELISA. Differential gene expressions were analyzed by RNA-seq. There were no toxic effects on GCs at MNQ and LPS concentrations of less than 3 mu M and 10 mu g/mL, respectively and treated in 12 h. The relative expressions of IL-6, IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha were significantly higher in the LPS group compared with the CK group when GCs cultured in vitro were treated with the above concentrations and times (P < 0.05), but significantly lower in the MNQ+LPS group compared with the LPS group (P < 0.05). The levels of E2 and P4 in the culture solution were significantly reduced in the LPS group compared to the CK group (P < 0.05), and restored in the MNQ+LPS group. The relative expressions of CYP19A1, CYP11A1, 3 beta-HSD, and STAR were significantly decreased in the LPS group compared with the CK group (P < 0.05), while the MNQ+LPS group also recovered to some extent. There were 407 differential genes shared by LPS vs CK and MNQ+LPS vs LPS by RNA-seq analysis, which were mainly enriched in steroid biosynthesis and TNF signaling pathway. We screened 10 genes for analysis and found consistent results for RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. In this study, we confirmed the protective effect of MNQ, an extract from Impatiens balsamina L, on LPS-induced inflammatory responses in bovine follicular granulosa cells in vitro as well as functional damage, and acted through steroid biosynthesis and TNF signaling pathways.
