2. THE AIM OF THE STUDY
Steroidogenesis
- progesterone
- 17β-estradiol
Proliferation
- viability
- PCNA
- cyclin B1
- TGF-β2
Apoptosis
- caspase-3
- p53
Oxidative stress
- production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• porcine ovarian granulosa cells
• human ovarian granulosa cell line HGL-5 and
• human ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCAR-3
The aim of the study
The effect of quercetin/isoquercitrin after 24h treatment on:
-
Ovarian cells from pigs, HGL-5 and OVCAR-3

Quercetin stimulates progesterone but not estradiol
4. RESULTS
Steroidogenesis is a synthetic process that begins with
cholesterol as a substrate and, through the series of enzymatic
reactions, produces a wide array of bioactive interrelated
signaling molecules.

4. RESULTS
Quercetin induces marker of proliferation
-
Multifunctional cytokine, TGF-β superfamily, which includes three different
isoforms (TGF-β1-3) and many other signal proteins produced in all white
blood cells. Induces transcription of various target genes for differentiation,
chemotaxis, proliferation and activation of many immune cells.
4. RESULTS
Dose-dependent effect of isoquercitrin on ROS production
Viability, TGF-β2 secretion,
and the presence of TGF-β2
receptor was not changed.

CONCLUSION
5. COBCLUSION
(1) Quercetin is able to increase the secretion of progesteron by porcine ovarian granulosa cells
and influences steroidogenesis in the cells.
(2) Possible dose-dependent influence of quercetin on ovarian proliferation and apoptosis
through pathway that may include activation of cyclin B1 and p53.
(1) Dose-dependent effects of ISOQUERCITRIN on the secretory activity and oxidative
balance in ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCAR-3 was found.
(2) Knowledge gained from this in vitro study could lead to a better understanding of the
mechanism of quercetin and isoquercetin action in healthy ovarian cells and ovarian
cancer.
(3) Quercetin and isoquercitrin are potential regulators of ovarian functions.
