Tribbles Pseudokinase 2 (TRIB2) Regulates Expression of Binding Partners in Bovine Granulosa Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Members of the Tribbles (TRIB) family of pseudokinases are critical components of intracellular signal transduction pathways in physiological and pathological processes. TRIBs, including TRIB2, have been previously shown as signaling mediators and scaffolding proteins regulating numerous cellular events such as proliferation, differentiation and cell death through protein stability and activity. However, the signaling network associated with TRIB2 and its binding partners in granulosa cells during ovarian follicular development is not fully defined. We previously reported that TRIB2 is differentially expressed in growing dominant follicles while downregulated in ovulatory follicles following the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection. In the present study, we used the yeast two-hybrid screening system and in vitro coimmunoprecipitation assays to identify and confirm TRIB2 interactions in granulosa cells (GCs) of dominant ovarian follicles (DFs), which yielded individual candidate binding partners including calmodulin 1 (CALM1), inhibin subunit beta A (INHBA), inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-like 1 (INPPL1), 5'-nucleotidase ecto (NT5E), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) and Ras-associated protein 14 (RAB14). Further analyses showed that all TRIB2 binding partners are expressed in GCs of dominant follicles but are differentially regulated throughout the different stages of follicular development. CRISPR/Cas9-driven inhibition along with pQE-driven overexpression of TRIB2 showed that TRIB2 differently regulates expression of binding partners, which reveals the importance of TRIB2 in the control of gene expression linked to various biological processes such as proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, apoptosis, calcium signaling and metabolism. These data provide a larger view of potential TRIB2-regulated signal transduction pathways in GCs and provide strong evidence that TRIB2 may act as a regulator of target genes during ovarian follicular development.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
