Activation of cumulus cell SMAD2/3 and epidermal growth factor receptor pathways are involved in porcine oocyte-cumulus cell expansion and steroidogenesis

Several lines of evidence suggest that in mice the activation of SMAD2/3 signaling by oocyte secreted factors, together with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation, is essential to induce cumulus expansion. Here we show that inhibition of EGFR kinase in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)...
