Wilms’ Tumour-1 (WT1) regulates proliferation, apoptosis and endocrine function in a model of human granulosa cells

Watson Lucy , Childs Andrew

Background: The WilmsÂ’ Tumour-1 (WT1) transcription factor is a critical regulator of embryonic gonadogenesis, but is also expressed by granulosa cells (GCs) in preantral follicles in the ovary after birth. Evidence from animal models suggests an important role for WT1 in regulating GC steroidogenesis and apoptosis. However, the role of WT1 in human GC biology has not been extensively explored.Aim: To investigate the role of WT1 in regulating human ...
