The regulating effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on Leydig cell function was studied using a model of immature porcine Leydig and Sertoli cells cultured in a hormone supplemented defined medium. FSH pretreatment for 2 days of Leydig cells cultured alone was with no effect. FSH pretreatment of Leydig cells cocultured with Sertoli cells increases Leydig cell activity in an FSH dose-dependent manner with a maximal effect observed at 50 ng/ml porcine FSH (pFSH). Leydig cells cultured for 2 days in conditioned medium (CM) by FSH stimulated (FSH-CM) Sertoli cells, as compared to CM by unstimulated (control) (C-CM) Sertoli cells show an increase of their activity with a maximal effect observed at 50 ng/ml pFSH. Leydig cells cultured in CM as compared to non CM, show a marked development of organelles (smooth endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria) involved in the steroidogenic activity. The activity of FSH-CM as compared to C-CM on Leydig cell function was non dialyzable and trypsin sensitive. These data suggest that Sertoli cells exert a regulatory action on Leydig cell steroidogenic activity via FSH dependent secreted proteins.
