Abstract:

Background: Cumulus cells, as oocyte nurse cells, provide a suitablemicroenvironment with growth factors and cellular interactions required for oocytematuration. Thus, these cells may serve as a natural niche for in vitro studies of femalegerm cell development. Cumulus cells may help attain a better understanding of thecauses of infertility in women and eventually improve the outcomes of cases thatrespond poorly to standard infertility treatment.Objective: The aim of this study was to isolate, culture, and investigate the biologicalcharacteristics of human cumulus cells.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, cumulus cells were isolated,cultured, and characterized using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactionanalyses of specific genes including FOXL2, CYP19A1, FSHR, AMHR, and LHR. Thepresence of vimentin, a structural protein, was examined via immunofluorescentstaining. Moreover, levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and progesterone secretionby cumulus cells were measured with ELISA after 2, 4, 12, 24, and 48 hr of culture.Results: In adherent culture, human cumulus cells expressed specific genes andmarkers as well as secreted AMH and progesterone into the medium.Conclusion: Cumulus cells secrete AMH and progesterone in an adherent cultureand might be applicable for in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro gametogenesis (IVG)studies.
