In order to evaluate the role of Src tyrosine kinase in thecal cell steroidogenesis, a pharmacological approach was utilized by treating enriched populations of mouse ovarian theca-interstitial cells in vitro with a direct Src kinase inhibitor, PP2. Inhibition of Src with PP2 increased both basal and forskolin-stimulated androstenedione secretion, and increased cytochrome P450 17-alpha hydroxylase-lyase (CYP17) promoter activity and steady state mRNA. PP2 did not change thecal levels of StAR mRNA. Inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, a downstream regulator of Src activity, using PD98059 also increased forskolin-stimulated secretion of androstenedione above forskolin alone, but had no effect on basal secretion of androstenedione. Src inhibition increased mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 protein and decreased phosphorylation of SF-1, which correlated with increased CYP17 promoter activity and mRNA levels. These results implicate Src tyrosine kinase in the regulation of CYP17 and thecal androgen secretion.
