Abstract: | Granulosa cells isolated from mature Graafian follicles of swine produced significant quantities of immunoreactive 6-keto-PGF1α under chemically defined conditions in vitro. Luteinizing hormone elicited a dose-dependent stimulation of 6-keto-PGF1α accumulation, but follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, L-epinephrine, estradiol-17B, or PGE2 were devoid of effect. The time-dependent in vitro production of 6-keto-PGF1α by ovarian cells was susceptible to inhibition by indomethacin, U-51506, cycloheximide, and actinomycin D. These observations implicate granulosa cells in the specific and hormonally regulated production of prostacyclin. |
