Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern of expression of LHCGR isoforms in Gir heifers characterized as good (10.3 ± 1.2 ova/embryos per flush, n = 5) or poor responders (1.1 ± 0.3 ova/embryos per flush, n = 5) to superovulation protocols. In both groups, an adapted ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration system was used to collect granulosa cells from 8 mm follicles formed either during a synchronized, non-stimulated follicular wave (no stimulation control, NS) or on the fourth day of a superovulation protocol (SOV) induced with 200 IU of pFSH. The recovered follicular fluid was centrifuged and granulosa cells were washed with NaCl 0.9% and kept in RNAlater®. RNA extraction was performed using a commercial RNeasy Micro Kit and eluted samples were quantified and reverse transcribed using the commercial Superscript III kit. cDNA samples were amplified by real-time PCR using a primer to target LH/hCG receptor gene - not selective for LHCGR isoforms (total LHCGR) - and four sets of isoforms selective primers (S1, S10, S10 + 11, and S11). Analyses were performed using the REST software and expression levels are shown as mean ± SEM. Under physiological conditions (NS), poor responders had a higher expression of total LHCGR (4.9 ± 1.7 fold-change, P < 0.01) as well as isoforms S10, S11 and S10 + 11, compared to good responders. In both phenotypes, superovulation down-regulated total LHCGR expression (-0.5 ± 0.2 and -0.9 ± 0.0 for good and poor responders, respectively; P < 0.05). However, in poor responders the exogenous FSH treatment up-regulated the S10 (2.4 ± 2.0; P < 0.05), S10 + 11 (3.8 ± 3.2; P < 0.01), and S1 isoforms (1.8 ± 1.3; P < 0.05), compared to good responders We conclude that down-regulation of total LHCGR, associated to up-regulation of their inactive isoforms, may have compromised follicle development and thus contributed to the low efficiency of superovulation in heifers with a poor responder phenotype.
