Abstract: Primary piglet sertoli cell (SC) were used to study the effects of FSH on regulating Glial cell linederived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expression. The results showed that: (1) The FSH-stimulated GDNF expression in the cultured SC was time- and concentration-dependent: the level of GDNF protein reached its highest when FSH (50 ng/mL) stimulated 1h. (2) FSH（50 ng/mL）or dbcAMP（100 μmol/L）could active ERK1/2 prominently along with a maximum stimulation at 2 h; (3) U0126 (MEK1/2 inhibitor) could apparently inhibited the activing effect of FSH on GDNF. These results suggested that, by activing the cAMPPKAERK1/2 and promting the transcription of GDNF gene, FSH stimulated the expression of GDNF of sertoli cells.
