Glycolysis in follicular granulosa cells (GCs) is the primary source of energy metabolism substrate of oocytes and is closely related to follicular development in mammals. Many physiological functions of GCs are regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In contrast, whether FSH regulates the glycolysis of GCs and its mechanism remains unclear. This study explored the correlation between FSH concentration and glycolysis level of GCs from different diameters of water buffalo follicles, and further explored the mechanism of FSH regulation in glycolysis in vitro cultured GCs. Results showed the variation trend of lactic acid concentration in follicular fluid and the expression level of glycolysis-related genes in GCs were consistent with the variation trend of FSH concentration in follicular fluid from follicles with different diameters. When GCs were treated with FSH in vitro, the expression level of glycolysis-related genes, lactate production and glucose uptake increased correspondingly (p < .05). Furthermore, we found that expression trend of AMPK/Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) pathway-related genes in GCs was consistent with the expression trend of glycolysis-related genes and was positively correlated with FSH concentrations in vivo or cultured in vitro. Activation of SIRT1 increased the expression level of glycolytic key proteins and lactic acid production in GCs, while inhibition of SIRT1 showed the opposite effect. In general, glycolysis in water buffalo GCs in vivo or cultured in vitro was positively correlated with FSH concentration. AMPK/SIRT1 pathway plays an important role in the regulation of FSH on glycolysis in GCs. Our findings will enrich the understanding of FSH regulating the development of water buffalo follicles.
