Expression of costimulatory molecules in the bovine corpus luteum
BACKGROUND Bovine luteal parenchymal cells express class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and stimulate class II MHC-dependent activation of T cells in vitro. The ability of a class II MHC-expressing cell type to elicit a response from T cells in vivo is also dependent on expression of costimulatory molecules by the antigen presenting cell and delivery of a costimulatory sign...
متن کاملConnective tissue growth factor expression in the human corpus luteum: paracrine regulation by human chorionic gonadotropin.
CONTEXT The molecular mechanisms of luteolysis and its inhibition during maternal recognition of pregnancy remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the differential regulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in human corpora lutea using in vivo and in vitro models. DESIGN Corpora lutea from different stages of the luteal phase and after l...
متن کاملLeucocyte proliferation in the bovine corpus luteum.
Leucocytes vary in type and number during the lifespan of a corpus luteum. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an increase in the number of lymphocytes and macrophages as a result of local proliferation. Bovine corpora lutea were classified into stages of development, secretion and regression. A new double immunolabelling method was established for nuclear Ki-67 antigen (a m...
متن کاملBNIP3 expression in bovine follicle and corpus luteum
BNIP3 (BCL2/adenovirus E1B nineteen kilodalton interacting protein-3), a member of the BCL2 family, is activated under hypoxic conditions and induces apoptosis or mitochondrial autophagy for adapting cells to hypoxia. The physiological roles of BNIP3 in the mammalian ovary are still unclear. In order to understand the role of BNIP3 in the bovine ovary, we examined its mRNA and protein expressio...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of retinal in bovine corpus luteum.
Bovine corpus luteum tissue was sliced and incubated with beta-[15,15'-(3)H]carotene. The conversion of radioactive beta-carotene into radioactive retinal was substantiated utilizing column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, high-speed liquid chromatography, and a derivative formation. Lowering of the incubation temperature to 20 degrees C or boiling the tissue eliminated the conversion...
