Outline of Final Research Achievements

Transcriptomes were compared between maturationally competent and incompetent ovarian follicles of red seabream, Pagrus major. Gene expressions of luteinizing hormone receptor and progesterone receptors of competent follicles were 8 and 6 times higher than incompetent ones, respectively. An artificial induction of the competency by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) resulted in up-regulations of the genes encoding enzymes catalyzing sex steroid hormone syntheses, tight junction protein, etc. Among them, a putative gene with enhanced gene expression of around 900-fold by hCG is estimated as the key enzyme catalyzing production of maturation-inducing steroid.
