To reveal the specific regulatory molecules that control granulosa cell apoptosis during follicular atresia, we immunohistochemically examined the localization of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors in porcine ovaries. A marked reduction in the expression of decoy receptor-1 (DcR1), which has high affinity for TRAIL, was demonstrated in granulosa cells of atretic follicles, but no marked differences were seen in expression of TRAIL or other TRAIL-receptors (death receptor-4 or death receptor-5) in granulosa cells between healthy and atretic follicles. No positive staining for DcR2 was seen. We presum that TRAIL and its receptors are involved in induction of apoptosis in granulosa cells during atresia, and that DcR1 plays an inhibitory role in granulosa cell apoptosis.
