To determine the relationships among vasculature, mitotic activity, and expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) of antral follicles in Bos indicus, bovine ovaries were obtained on day 6 of the estrous cycle from 10 crossbred (Brahman to Thai native cows) after a synchronized estrus with prostaglandin F2α analogue. Ovaries were fixed, paraffin-embedded, and used for immunofluorescence detection of factor VIII (a marker of endothelial cells). Immunostaining of eNOS and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were performed with specific monoclonal antibodies. Vasculature and positive staining of eNOS and PCNA were quantitatively evaluated with the image analysis. Follicles were classified by size (small, medium, and large) and by structure as healthy and atretic follicles (n = 82). The expression of factor VIII and eNOS were detected greater in the blood vessels of the theca layers of the healthy follicles than those in atretic follicles. The labeling indices (LIs) in granulosa and theca cells were greater (P < 0.05) in the healthy small and medium follicles than in the healthy large follicles. Vasculature, capillary area density, and capillary number density were positively correlated with eNOS expression and the LIs of granulosa and theca cells but were negatively correlated with the healthy follicle size. During the growing phase of antral follicle in Bos indicus, relationships among vasculature, mitotic activity, and eNOS were observed predominantly in healthy antral follicles. Thus, these data highlight the importance of vasculature, cell proliferation, and eNOS expression of growing and atretic follicles in the first follicular wave. 相似文献
