Luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotrophin receptor overexpressed in granulosa cells from polycystic ovary syndrome ovaries is functionally active

Highlights • LHCGR expression and activity are increased in GCs from PCOS patients. • ARF6 small GTPase is highly expressed in PCOS GCs. • HCG-stimulation increased the levels of active form of ARF6. • ARF6 activation inhibitors reduced LHCGR internalisation in normal and PCOS GCs. • HCG-induced HLH...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • LHCGR expression and activity are increased in GCs from PCOS patients. • ARF6 small GTPase is highly expressed in PCOS GCs. • HCG-stimulation increased the levels of active form of ARF6. • ARF6 activation inhibitors reduced LHCGR internalisation in normal and PCOS GCs. • HCG-induced HLHCGR internalisation is unaltered in PCOS GCs.
