Stromal cells and epithelial glands were separated after enzymic digestion of specimens obtained from 27 women at hysterectomy or endometrial biopsy during the luteal phase, and then cultured to confluence in vitro. PGE release into the culture medium (mean +/- s.e.m.: ng/mg protein/24 h) from gland cell cultures was not changed by oestradiol (17.6 +/- 1.3 for control and 25.5 +/- 2.8 for oestradiol, respectively). However, in the presence of oestradiol, PAF (5 ng/ml) significantly elevated PGE release to 44.2 +/- 5.8. No stimulation was observed in the presence of progesterone. Stromal cell medium had no effect on PGE release in gland cell cultures. PGE release was always much lower in stromal cell cultures than in glands (control: 4.7 +/- 0.6). PAF stimulated PGE release in the presence of oestradiol in these cells also; gland cell medium was without effect. In co-cultures of glandular and stromal cells, PGE release was more similar to that seen in gland cell cultures, with PAF being stimulatory under the influence of oestradiol. PGF release into the medium from the same gland cell cultures was significantly elevated by hormonal treatment, being greatest (62.0 +/- 11.3) with oestradiol alone, and was strongly inhibited in all wells by addition of PAF and stromal cell medium. In stromal cell cultures without hormonal addition, PGF levels (15.0 +/- 2.4) were similar to those seen in glands (18.1 +/- 3.1), and no stimulation was achieved by oestradiol (29.6 +/- 5.9). PAF was inhibitory on PGF release, while gland cell medium was without effect. Co-cultures gave PGF values generally similar to those of stromal cells; oestradiol was again stimulatory (55.0 +/- 9.3). PAF was significantly inhibitory in the presence of oestradiol. PAF (mean +/- s.e.m.: pmol/mg protein/24 h using a platelet serotonin release assay) in stromal cells was significantly increased from control [M199 alone] (0.31 +/- 0.12) by progesterone (1.00 +/- 0.17). Addition of PGE-2 (7.5 ng/ml) to progesterone-treated wells further increased PAF concentration (5.34 +/- 0.09), but was without effect in wells receiving oestradiol alone. Wells exposed to both hormones exhibited an intermediate response. Similar results were obtained with addition of gland cell culture medium, presumably due to its endogenous PGE content. In co-cultures, PAF concentrations were significantly elevated by progesterone alone (4.78 +/- 0.78) or when combined with oestradiol (2.38 +/- 0.51), but not by oestradiol alone. Treatment with PGE-2 caused no additional stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Inhibition of follicle-stimulating hormone-induced ovulation by indomethacin in the perfused rat ovary 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In isolated, perfused ovaries of rats treated with pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG), purified preparations of ovine follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (oFSH-211B) and rat FSH (rFSH-I-6), 100 ng/ml, were found to induce ovulations (4.8 +/- 0.9, n = 4, and 6.4 +/- 2.0, n = 5, ovulations per ovary, respectively). Indomethacin (5 micrograms/ml) added to the perfusate inhibited this ovulatory effect and exogenous prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) (1 microgram/ml), or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (0.5 microgram/ml), reversed the blockade. Ovine FSH and rFSH had only a weak stimulatory effect on estradiol release, and only rFSH caused a significant increase in progesterone accumulation. Indomethacin reduced the stimulatory effect of rFSH on progesterone release, and this effect was reversed by PGE2 but not by PGF2 alpha. In a 6-h incubation experiment with preovulatory rat follicles, we tested the biological activity of gonadotropins used to induce oocyte maturation. The concentration of FSH used in the perfusion experiments induced oocyte maturation in more than 88% of the oocytes studied. The data confirm earlier findings that FSH can induce ovulations and show that prostaglandins are involved in this process. The data also indicate that prostaglandins might be involved in the FSH-induced increase of progesterone levels. 相似文献

Three newly established human melanoma cell lines (WU-BI, PN-JC, MJ-ZJ) of different morphology and different stage of malignancy were incubated with ionophore A23187 (2.5 to 40 microM) or arachidonic acid (AA, 6.25 to 100 microM). PGF2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, TXB2 and 2,3-dinor-TXB2 from isolated cells and supernatants were measured by negative ion chemical ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). PGE2 decreased in the fibroblastoid MJ-ZJ cells from 36.7 ng/mg cell protein about 70% (A23187) and about 20% (AA), respectively. However, in the cell supernatant PGE2 increased up to 295.4 +/- 66.5 ng/mg cell protein. Production of PGF2 alpha and PGE2 increased up to 5.7 +/- 1.2 ng/mg cell protein for polydendritic WU-BI cells and spindle shaped PN-JC cells. Up to 9.3 +/- 4.3 ng PGF2 alpha and 13.4 +/- 4.7 ng PGE2 was measured for WU-BI and PN-JC in the cell supernatants. All three melanoma cell lines completely lacked formation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, TXB2, and 2,3-dinor-TXB2. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, 5 ng/ml to 5 micrograms/ml) induced a dose-dependent increase in cAMP accumulation, inositol phosphates (IPs) accumulation, and cytoplasmic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in a clonal osteoblast-like cell line, MOB 3-4. In contrast, prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha, 5 ng/ml to 5 micrograms/ml) stimulated increases in IPs accumulation and [Ca2+]i without stimulating an increase in cAMP accumulation. Both PGE2 (greater than 0.5 micrograms/ml) and PGF2 alpha (greater than or equal to 5 micrograms/ml) increased cytoplasmic pH (pHi) from approximately 7.15 to 7.35 in BCECF-loaded cells. A tumor promotor, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 0.1-100 nM) also increased pHi without effect on phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Both PGE2-(5 micrograms/ml) and PMA- (100 nM) induced cytoplasmic alkalinization was inhibited by removal of extracellular Na+, or by pretreatment of the cells with amiloride (0.5 mM), an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, or H-7 (100 microM), a nonspecific inhibitor of protein kinase C. Thus, MOB 3-4 cells appeared to possess PGE2 receptors and PGF2 alpha receptors: the former are coupled to adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C, and the latter are predominantly coupled to phospholipase C. Also the cells appeared to possess an amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange activity, which increases pHi in response to PGE2 and PGF2 alpha, as well as to PMA. Long-term (48 hr) exposure of the cells to PGE2 at a high concentration (5 micrograms/ml), but not to PGF2 alpha and PMA, decreased DNA synthesis in the serum-deficient medium. Thus, cytoplasmic alkalinization appeared insufficient for cell replication. At least in MOB 3-4 cells, the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on DNA synthesis may be due to the cAMP messenger system. 相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to study the in vitro effects of prostaglandins F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), E2 (PGE2), and luteinizing hormone (LH) on oxytocin (OT) release from bovine luteal tissue. Luteal concentration of OT at different stages of the estrous cycle was also determined. In Experiment 1, sixteen beef heifers were assigned randomly in equal numbers (N = 4) to be killed on Days 4, 8, 12, and 16 of the estrous cycle (Day 0 = day of estrus). Corpora lutea were collected, an aliquot of each was removed for determination of initial OT concentration, and the remainder was sliced and incubated with vehicle (control) or with PGF2 alpha (10 ng/ml), PGE2 (10 ng/ml), or LH (5 ng/ml). Luteal tissue from heifers on Day 4 was sufficient only for determination of initial OT levels. Luteal OT concentrations (ng/g) increased from 414 +/- 84 on Day 4 to 2019 +/- 330 on Day 8 and then declined to 589 +/- 101 on Day 12 and 81 +/- 5 on Day 16. Prostaglandin F2 alpha induced a significant in vitro release of luteal OT (ng.g-1.2h-1) on Day 8 (2257 +/- 167 vs. control 1702 +/- 126) but not on Days 12 or 16 of the cycle. Prostaglandin E2 and LH did not affect OT release at any stage of the cycle studied. In Experiment 2, six heifers were used to investigate the in vitro dose-response relationship of 10, 20, and 40 ng PGF2 alpha/ml of medium on OT release from Day 8 luteal tissue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Uteroplacental production of eicosanoids in ovine pregnancy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Dramatic cardiovascular alterations occur during normal ovine pregnancy which may be associated with increased prostaglandin production, especially of uteroplacental origin. To study this, we examined (Exp 1) the relationships between cardiovascular alterations, e.g., the rise in uterine blood flow and fall in systemic vascular resistance, and arterial concentrations of prostaglandin metabolites (PGEM, PGFM and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha) in nonpregnant (n = 4) and pregnant (n = 8) ewes. To determine the potential utero-placental contribution of these eicosanoids in pregnancy, we also studied (Exp 2) the relationship between uterine blood flow and the uterine venous-arterial concentration differences of PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGFM, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and TxB2 in twelve additional late pregnant ewes. Pregnancy was associated with a 37-fold increase in uterine blood flow and a proportionate (27-fold) fall in uterine vascular resistance (p less than 0.01). Arterial concentrations of PGEM were similar in nonpregnant and pregnant ewes (316 +/- 19 and 245 +/- 38 pg/ml), while levels of PGFM and PGI2 metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were elevated 23-fold (31 +/- 14 to 708 +/- 244 pg/ml) and 14-fold (12 +/- 4 to 163 +/- 78 pg/ml), respectively (p less than 0.01). Higher uterine venous versus uterine arterial concentrations were observed for PGE2 (397 +/- 36 and 293 +/- 22 pg/ml) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (269 +/- 32 and 204 +/- 32 pg/ml), p less than 0.05, but not PGF2 alpha or TxB2. Although PGFM concentrations appeared to be greater in uterine venous (1197 +/- 225 pg/ml) as compared to uterine arterial (738 +/- 150 pg/ml) plasma, this did not reach significance (0.05 less than p less than 0.1). In normal ovine pregnancy arterial levels of PGI2 are increased, which may in part reflect increased uteroplacental production. Moreover the gravid ovine uterus also appears to produce PGE2 and metabolize PGF2 alpha. 相似文献

To evaluate the details of the adrenergic stimulation of urinary prostaglandins in man, ten normal volunteers were given various agonists and antagonists. The effect of 4 hour IV infusions of norepinephrine (NE), NE + phentolamine (PHT), NE + phenoxybenzamine (PHB), NE + prazosin (PZ), isoproterenol (ISO), and PHT alone on urinary PGE2 and PGI2 (6 keto PGF1 alpha) were determined. PGE2 and 6 keto PGF1 alpha were measured by radioimmunoassay from 4 hour urine samples. NE stimulated both PGE2 (196 +/- 40 to 370 +/- 84 ng/4 hrs/g creatinine and 6 keto PGF1 alpha (184 +/- 30 to 326 +/- 36), both p less than 0.01. In contrast, ISO had no effect on either PGE2 or 6 keto PGF1 alpha excretion. Alpha blockade with PHT. PHB, or PZ inhibited the NE induced systemic pressor effect. However, the effect of the alpha blockers on the NE induced stimulation of PGE2 and 6 keto PGF1 alpha varied. PHT did not alter the NE stimulated PGE2 or 6 keto PGF1 alpha release (370 +/- 84 vs. 381 +/- 80) PGE2 and (326 +/- 50 vs. 315 +/- 40) 6 keto PGF1 alpha both p greater than 0.2). PHT alone stimulated only 6 keto PGF1 alpha. PHB and the specific alpha 1 antagonist PZ similarly eliminated the NE induced prostaglandin release. These results suggest that adrenergically mediated urinary prostaglandin release in man is via an alpha receptor with alpha 1 characteristics. 相似文献

Four ewes were utilized to determine the effects of prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha, PGE2 and luteinizing hormone (LH) on activity of phospholipase C (PLC) in ovine luteal tissue. Corpora lutea were collected on d 10 post-estrus and six slices from one corpus luteum from each ewe were pre-incubated with [3H]-inositol prior to incubation with one of 6 treatments. Treatments were 1) control, 2) PGF2 alpha (100 ng/ml), 3) PGE2 (10 ng/ml), 4) LH (10 ng/ml), 5) PGF2 alpha + PGE2 and 6) PGF2 alpha + LH. Phospholipase C was determined indirectly by measuring the accumulation of [3H]-inositol mono-, bis- and tris-phosphates (IP, IP2, IP3). Effects of PGF2 alpha (0 vs. PGF2 alpha) and luteotropic treatment (0 vs. PGE2 vs. LH) and their interactions were determined by analysis of variance. There was a significant main effect of PGF2 alpha (P less than 0.01) as concentrations of IP, IP2, IP3 and total [3H]-inositol phosphates were greater in tissue slices treated with PGF2 alpha, regardless of luteotropic treatment. Within groups receiving no PGF2 alpha (1,3,4), no effect of luteotropic treatment was observed. Within groups receiving PGF2 alpha (2,5,6), LH caused a significant (P less than .05) increase in the accumulation of total [3H]-inositol phosphates. Thus, PGF2 alpha can stimulate the activity of PLC in ovine luteal tissue and LH can potentiate this effect. 相似文献

A luteotropic role for prostaglandins (PGs) during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle of rhesus monkeys was suggested by the observation that intraluteal infusion of a PG synthesis inhibitor caused premature luteolysis. This study was designed to identify PGs that promote luteal function in primates. First, the effects of various PGs on progesterone (P) production by macaque luteal cells were examined in vitro. Collagenase-dispersed luteal cells from midluteal phase of the menstrual cycle (Day 6-7 after the estimated surge of LH, n = 3) were incubated with 0-5,000 ng/ml PGE2, PGD, 6 beta PGI1 (a stable analogue of PGI2), PGA2, or PGF2 alpha alone or with hCG (100 ng/ml). PGE2, PGD2, and 6 beta PGI1 alone stimulated (p less than 0.05) P production to a similar extent (2- to 3-fold over basal) as hCG alone, whereas PGA2 and PGF2 alpha alone had no effect on P production. Stimulation (p less than 0.05) of P synthesis by PGE2, PGD2, and 6 beta PGI1 in combination with hCG was similar to that of hCG alone. Whereas PGA2 inhibited gonadotropin-induced P production (p less than 0.05), that in the presence of PGF2 alpha plus hCG tended (p = 0.05) to remain elevated. Second, the effects of various PGs on P production during chronic infusion into the CL were studied in vivo. Saline with or without 0.1% BSA (n = 12), PGE2 (300 ng/h; n = 4), PGD2 (300 ng/h; n = 4), 6 beta PGI1 (500 ng/h; n = 3), PGA2 (300 ng/h; n = 4), or PGF2 alpha (10 ng/h; n = 8) was infused via osmotic minipump beginning at midluteal phase (Days 5-8 after the estimated LH surge) until menses. In addition, the same dose of PGE, PGD, PGI, or PGA was infused in combination with PGF2 alpha (n = 3-4/group) for 7 days. P levels over 5 days preceding treatment were not different among groups. In 5 of 8 monkeys receiving PGF2 alpha alone, P declined to less than 0.5 ng/ml within 72 h after initiation of infusion and was lower (p less than 0.05) than controls. The length of the luteal phase in PGF2 alpha-infused monkeys was shortened (12.3 +/- 0.9 days; mean +/- SEM, n = 8; p less than 0.05) compared to controls (15.8 +/- 0.5). Intraluteal infusion of PGE, PGD, PGI, or PGA alone did not affect patterns of circulating P or luteal phase length.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The second messengers mediating hormonal regulation of the corpus luteum are incompletely defined, particularly for the primary luteolytic hormone prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). In this study, hormonally induced changes in free intracellular calcium concentrations were measured in individual small and large ovine luteal cells by using computer-assisted microscopic imaging of fura-2 fluorescence. This technique could readily detect transient increases in free calcium concentrations within both small and large luteal cells after treatment with 1 microM of the calcium ionophore, A23187. Treatment with PGF2 alpha (1 microM) caused a dramatic increase in free calcium concentrations in large (before = 73 +/- 2 nM; 2 min after PGF2 alpha = 370 +/- 21 nM; n = 33 cells) but not in small (before = 66 +/- 4 nM; 2 min after PGF2 alpha = 69 +/- 8 nM; n = 12 cells) luteal cells. The magnitude and timing of the calcium response was dose- and time-dependent. The PGF2 alpha-induced increase in free intracellular calcium is probably due to influx of extracellular calcium, since inclusion of inorganic calcium channel blockers (100 microM manganese or cobalt) attenuated the response to PGF2 alpha and removal of extracellular calcium eliminated the response. In contrast to PGF2 alpha, luteinizing hormone (LH) (100 ng/ml) caused no change in intracellular levels of free calcium in small or large luteal cells, even though this dose of LH stimulated (p less than 0.01) progesterone production by small luteal cells. Therefore, alterations in free calcium concentrations could be the intracellular second message mediating the luteolytic action of PGF2 alpha in the large ovine luteal cell. 相似文献

Ovine trophoblast protein-1 (oTP-1), a protein secreted by the sheep conceptus immediately prior to implantation has sequence homology with alpha interferon. We have previously shown that, in parallel with human alpha interferon (IFN), oTP-1 reduces the release of prostaglandins (PG) E and F2 alpha from cultured ovine endometrial cells. Here we have examined the time and dose dependence of these actions and the possible site of action of the peptides. The concentrations of oTP-1 and IFN required for 50% inhibition of PGE release were 92 pg/ml and 0.88 pg/ml and for PGF2 alpha release, 165 pg/ml and 1.12 pg/ml respectively. Significant effects on PG release were not measured before 12 h after addition of peptide to culture dishes. Following removal of the peptides, the cells released less PGs for a further 18 h but then recovered. A large increase in PG synthesis and release occurred from cells cultured with added serum or arachidonic acid (AA) and an interactive effect was demonstrated between them, AA having a greater stimulatory effect on PG released in the presence of serum. However, in all cases oTP-1 and IFN continued to attenuate prostaglandin release. We conclude that the IFNs act directly or indirectly on the prostaglandin synthase enzyme. 相似文献

Progesterone and interferon-like trophoblastic proteins modulate prostaglandin (PG) synthesis from endometrium in early ovine and bovine pregnancy. Enriched epithelial cells were prepared from human endometrium removed in the proliferative phase of menstrual cycle (n = 8). Progesterone at a concentration of 1 microM suppressed PGE release from the cells during the first 24 hours in culture. After 48 hours in culture progesterone at a dose of 100 nM and 1 microM suppressed both the release of PGF2 alpha and PGE from the cells and this suppression was maintained for a further two days. Addition of exogenous 30 microM arachidonic acid (AA) abolished this effect of progesterone on both PGF2 alpha and PGE release. Interferon alpha-2 did not suppress the basal release of PGF2 alpha nor PGE. In the presence of progesterone, interferon alpha-2 attenuated the progesterone mediated suppression of PGF2 alpha but not PGE release from endometrial cells. These findings suggest that progesterone suppresses the basal release of PGs from human endometrium, but unlike the sheep, interferon alpha-2 does not exert this action on human endometrium. 相似文献

Platelet-activating factor in human luteal phase endometrium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is one of the most potent mediators of vascular permeability. PAF levels change in the rabbit endometrium just prior to implantation, which suggests that PAF may be a key substance transducing preimplantation embryonic signals. To study whether PAF was present in the human endometrium, and if so, to determine the cellular origin and hormonal regulation of endometrial PAF, specimens were obtained from 14 women (aged 23-42 yr) undergoing elective hysterectomy during the luteal phase of the cycle (plasma progesterone levels greater than 2 ng/ml). No specimens were taken from women with malignant uterine pathology. Stromal cells and epithelial glandular cells were separated by collagenase and DNAse digestion, and then cultured to confluence in vitro in medium 199. Radioimmunoassays of prostaglandin F (PGF) and prolactin in the culture media were used to confirm cell type and viability. PGF release into the culture medium from stromal cells was low (control 1.52 +/- 0.20 ng/ml), and unchanged by hormone treatment. In contrast, release of PGF from unstimulated glandular cells was 6.05 +/- 0.52 ng/ml, and was significantly increased (p less than 0.05) by estradiol or progesterone plus estradiol, to 12.17 +/- 1.67, and 8.60 +/- 0.81, respectively. Progesterone alone was without effect. Prolactin was secreted by stromal cell cultures, increasing steadily from 24 to 120 h. The levels in the medium were increased by progesterone. PAF activity was assessed by rabbit platelet aggregation and serotonin-release bioassays after lipid extraction and separation by thin-layer chromatography.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

By day-90, the placenta secretes half of the circulating progesterone and 85% of the circulating estradiol-17beta [Weems YS, Vincent D, Tanaka Y, et al.

Ovariectomy (OVX) or prostaglandin (PG) F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) does not abort intact or OVX 90-day pregnant ewes and PGF(2alpha) regresses the corpus luteum, but does not affect placental progesterone secretion in vivo [Weems YS, Vincent D, Tanaka Y, et al. Effects of prostaglandin F(2alpha) on sources of progesterone and pregnancy in intact, ovariectomized, and hysterectomized 90-100 day pregnant ewes. Prostaglandins 1992;43:203-22]. Luteal progesterone secretion in vitro at day-90 of pregnancy in ewes is regulated by PGE(1)and/or PGE(2), not by ovine luteinizing hormone (LH; 3). Concentrations of PGE in uterine or ovarian venous plasma averaged 6 ng/ml at 90-100 days of pregnancy in ewes [Weems YS, Vincent DL, Tanaka Y, Nusser K, Ledgerwood KS, Weems CW.

Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediators 1999;58:167-78]. In addition, treatment of 90 day ovine diced placental slices with androstenedione in vitro increased placental estradiol-17beta, but treatment with PGF(2alpha)in vitro did not decrease placental progesterone secretion, which indicates that ovine placenta progesterone secretion is resistant to the luteolytic action of PGF(2alpha) [Weems YS, Bridges PJ, LeaMaster BR, Sasser RG, Vincent DL, Weems CW.

Pregnant ewes OVX on day 83 of pregnancy and placental slices cultured in vitro secretes 2-3-fold more estradiol-17beta, PSPB, PGE, and progesterone than placental slices from 90 day intact pregnant ewes, but placental PGF(2alpha) secretion by placental slices from intact or OVX ewes did not change [Denamur R, Kann G, Short R V.

Vet J 2006;171:206-28] are not necessary after day-55 to maintain pregnancy. In Experiment 1, diced placental slices from day-90 intact or OVX pregnant ewes that were ovariectomized or laparotomized and ovaries were not removed on day 83 were collected on day-90 and incubated in vitro in M-199 with Vehicle, ovine luteinizing hormone (oLH), ovine follicle stimulating hormone (oFSH), ovine placental lactogen (oPL), PGE(l), PGE(2), PGD(2), PGI(2), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 or 2 (IGF(l); IGF(2)), leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), platelet activating factor (PAF) 16 or 18 (PAF-16; PAF-18) at doses of 0, 1, 10, or 100ng/ml for 4h. In Experiment 2, placental slices from day-90 intact and OVX (intact or OVX laporotomized 7 days earlier) pregnant ewes were incubated in vitro with vehicle, INDO, Meclofenamate (MECLO), PGE(l), PGE(2), INDO+PGE(1), MECLO+PGE(l), INDO+PGE(2), or MECLO+PGE(2) for 4h. Media were analyzed for progesterone, estradiol-17beta, PGE, or PGF(2alpha) by RIA. Hormone data in media were analyzed in Experiment 1 by a 2x3x13 and in Experiment 2 by a 2x9 Factorial Design for ANOVA. In Experiment 1, placental progesterone, PGE, or estradiol-17beta secretion were increased (P< or =0.05) two-fold by OVX. Progesterone was not increased (P> or =0.05) by any treatment other than OVX and only FSH increased (P< or =0.05) estradiol-17beta secretion by placental slices in both OVX and intact ewes 90-day pregnant ewes. In Experiment 2, INDO or MECLO decreased (P< or =0.05) placental progesterone secretion by 88% but did not decrease (P> or =0.05) placental estradiol-17beta secretion from intact or OVX ewes. PGE(l) or PGE(2) increased (P< or =0.05) progesterone secretion only in ewes treated with INDO or MECLO. It is concluded that FSH probably regulates day-90 ovine placental estradiol-17beta secretion, while PGE(l) or PGE(2) regulates day-90 placental progesterone secretion. 相似文献

Production of prostaglandins by dispersed cells and fragments from bovine parathyroid glands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We studied the production of prostaglandins by fragments and dispersed cells from bovine parathyroid glands. Fragments released 138 +/- 19 (SE), 132 +/- 21, 4.3 +/- 0.5, and 13 +/- 6.6 pg/mg/h of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGF2 alpha, PGE2, and thromboxane B2, respectively (n = 7 - 26), while dispersed cells released 414 +/- 110, 22 +/- 7.3, 27 +/- 3.8, and 29 +/- 11 pg/10(6) cells/h, respectively, of the same compounds (n = 6 - 25). Indomethacin (1 microgram/ml) inhibited the release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by 80-90% in fragments and cells, while mellitin stimulated release of this prostaglandin, suggesting de novo synthesis of prostaglandins in these preparations. Calcium stimulated production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha by 1.3-fold in cells and 2.6-fold in fragments and also enhanced production of PGF2 alpha by 1.9-fold in fragments. Isoproterenol, on the other hand, had no effect on production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in either preparation. These results demonstrate that parathyroid tissue as well as parathyroid cells per se produce a variety of prostaglandins. We have previously shown that PGE2 and PGF2 alpha modulate cAMP accumulation and PTH release in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. The role of the endogenous production of prostaglandins by the parathyroid gland in the acute or chronic regulation of parathyroid function, however, remains to be determined. 相似文献

A cryostorage procedure was developed to provide ovine luteal cells throughout the period of seasonal anestrus. Corpora lutea obtained from midluteal phase, superovulated ewes were dispersed enzymatically. Some dispersed cells were fractionated into subpopulations by elutriation. Dimethylsulfoxide (7.5% final concentration) in Hanks' buffered saline was added to cells at 4 degrees C, and dispersed cell preparations were frozen in a programmable cell freezer and stored at -196 degrees C. After recovery from cryopreservation, cell viability and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) binding characteristics of thawed cells were not different from those of corresponding fresh cells. Additionally, thawed cells retained the capacity to attach to culture dishes and retained responsiveness of progesterone secretion to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and ovine luteinizing hormone (LH), although rates of progesterone secretion were attenuated in thawed compared with fresh cells. The cryopreservation procedure will prove useful to relieve constraints in utilization of ovine luteal cells arising from reproductive seasonality in sheep. Cells retrieved from cryostorage were evaluated by studying PGF2 alpha binding characteristics. From saturation analyses (increasing amounts of radiolabeled PGF2 alpha) of PGF2 alpha binding to unfractionated cells, we detected a single class of high affinity binding sites (Kd = 17.4 +/- 2.3 nM) in addition to the nonspecific binding component. Using displacement analyses (constant radiolabeled PGF2 alpha and increasing amounts of unlabeled PGF2 alpha) and unfractionated cells, we detected additional binding sites of lower affinity (Kd = 409 +/- 166 nM) as well as the nonspecific binding component. Small luteal cells obtained by elutriation, which were essentially devoid of large cell contamination, had only low affinity binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Prostaglandins E1, E2, and F2alpha (PGE1, PGE2, and PGF2alpha) were shown to inhibit the growth of mouse leukaemia lymphoblasts L5178Y in culture. The effects of PGE1 and PGE2 were greater than that of PGF2alpha. PGE1 and PGE2, at the concentration of 100 mug per ml showed significant inhibitory effects on the rates of incorporation of tritiated thymidine, uridine and leucine. At concentrations of 50 and 25 mug per ml, there was significant inhibition of thymidine and uridine incorporation, but not of leucine, PGF2alpha showed significant inhibition of thymidine and uridine incorporation but not leucine incorporation, in all 3 concentrations studied (100, 50, and 25 mug/ml). The ability of the cells to form colonies in soft agar was significantly inhibited by PGE1 and PGE2 at concentrations as low as 1-8 mug/ml. For F2alpha, however, a concentration as high as 56mug/ml was required to show inhibitory effect, but at 1-8 mug/ml it was found to be stimulatory. 相似文献

The effects of prostaglandins (PGs) E1 (PGE1), E2 (PGE2) and F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) on cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and intracellular Ca mobilization were examined in smooth muscle cells of chicken uterus grown in primary culture. At subnanomolar concentrations, both PGE1 and PGE2 significantly suppressed cAMP levels. However, at higher concentrations (0.1-100 microM), both agonists caused a dose-related increase in cAMP production. PGF2 alpha, on the other hand, had no effect on cAMP production. Forskolin (1-100 microM), which also stimulated cAMP production in a dose-dependent fashion, potentiated the effects of both PGE1 and PGE2. In digitonin-permeabilized uterine cells preloaded with 45Ca2+, the addition of PGF2 alpha caused a biphasic 45Ca2+ efflux. There was a small but significant 45Ca2+ release (10.0 +/- 1.5%) within 30 s (rapid phase), followed by a larger one (32.0 +/- 2.0%) within 5 min (slow phase). PGE2, at doses above 1 nM (which significantly increased cAMP accumulation), promoted 45Ca2+ sequestration. This action of PGE2 was observed as early as 1 min and was complete by 5 min. In addition, 0.001 nM PGE2 (a dose that was ineffective on 45Ca2+ mobilization) enhanced PGF2 alpha-induced 45Ca2+ mobilization from 22.5 +/- 5% to 57.0 +/- 3.5%. These results show that PGs of the E series have distinctly different effects on cAMP production and intracellular Ca mobilization. PGF2 alpha action may be linked directly to intracellular Ca mobilization, whereas the effects of PGE may be exerted at multiple sites depending on its local concentration. At low concentrations, its action may be mediated by the suppression of cAMP levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Metabolism of [3H] arachidonic acid ([3H] AA) and synthesis of prostaglandins were examined with ovine conceptuses and endometrial slices collected on various days after mating. Tissues were incubated for 24 hr with or without 5 microCi of [3H] AA and with 200 micrograms radioinert AA. In experiment 1, results of chromatography indicated that conceptuses collected on days 14 and 16 after mating metabolized [3H] AA to PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGFM, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and to unidentified compounds in three chromatographic regions. One of these regions (region I) contained triglycerides. Endometrial slices metabolized only small amounts of the [3H] AA to prostaglandins. In experiment 2, results of radioimmunoassays indicated that day 14 conceptuses released somewhat similar amounts (ng/mg tissue) of PGF2 alpha (32.1 +/- 17.9), PGFM (8.4 +/- 6.2), PGE2 (12.3 +/- 7.5) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (41.4 +/- 4.8), whereas day 16 conceptuses released more (P less than .05) PGF2 alpha (9.0 +/- 4.1) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (15.9 +/- 2.7) than PGE2 (0.9 +/- 0.2) or PGFM (0.5 +/- 0.08). Day 14 and 16 endometrial slices released (ng/mg tissue) more (P less than .05) PGFM (3.0 +/- 0.2) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (4.0 +/- 0.4) than PGF2 alpha (0.5 +/- 0.08) or PGE2 (0.05 +/- 0.02). In experiment 3, conceptuses were recovered on days 16, 20 and 24 of pregnancy and incubated with [3H] AA to determine the effects of indomethacin on [3H] AA metabolism. In general, indomethacin (Id; 4 X 10(-4) M) reduced (P less than .05) the percentage of total dpm recovered as prostaglandins, but Id increased the release of chromatographic region I. Experiment 4 was conducted with day 16, 20 and 24 conceptuses to evaluate the time course of metabolism of [3H] AA, and the appearance of region I and of prostaglandins. In general, the percentage of total dpm in region I increased as the percentage of dpm as [3H] AA decreased. The percentage of dpm as prostaglandins increased as the percentage of dpm in region I decreased. Prostaglandins, probably essential for embryonal survival and development, were synthesized in vitro by ovine conceptuses. 相似文献

The radioimmunological (RIA) determination of prostaglandin (PG) E2 and of PGF2alpha in urine of humans and rats is described in detail. After extraction and chromatography PGE2 was determined by using a PGE specific antibody or by using either PGB or PGF2alpha specific antibodies after the respective conversion procedures. The three different RIA procedures were compared to each other. PGF2alpha was determined by a specific antibody to PGF2alpha. Basal excretion of PGE2 and of PGF2alpha in healthy women on free diet was 9.3 ng/hour+/-0.98 and 18.3 ng/hour +/- 2.5 respectively. Furosemide increased the excretion of PGE2 and of PGF2alpha in humans significantly, while PG-excretion rates decreased on indomethacin. In rat urine PGE2 and PGF2alpha increased markedly from 46.2 pg/min +/- 9.3 and 27+/- 3.4 to 253.8 +/- 43.3 and 108 +/- 12.6 pg/min (per one kidney) in the anesthetized-laparotomized animal. This increase was abolished after giving two different PG synthetase inhibitors. 相似文献
