SHORT NOTE Cultured Microvascular Endothelial Cells Derived trom the Bovine Corpus Luteum Possess NCAM-140
Previously, five phenotypically different, stable types of microvascular endothelial cells (MVE) were isolated from the bovine corpus and cultured successfully. We found that three out of these five types of MVE express the neural cell adhesion moleeule (NCAM). As shown by immunocytochemistry. weak NCAM immunoreactivity occurred mainIy in the perinuclear area of cell type 1. Monolayers of types...
متن کاملPossible role of interleukin-1 in the regulation of bovine corpus luteum throughout the luteal phase.
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the principal cytokines that participate in local regulation of many reproductive functions. The present study was undertaken to determine whether mRNAs for IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-1 type I receptor (IL-1R) are expressed in bovine corpora lutea (CL), and whether luteal cells respond to treatment with IL-1alpha and IL-1beta during the luteal phase. Bovine CL we...
متن کاملHypoxia increases glucose transporter 1 expression in bovine corpus luteum at the early luteal stage
A major role of the corpus luteum (CL) is to produce progesterone (P4). The CL has immature vasculature shortly after ovulation, suggesting it exists under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF1) induces the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). To clarify the physiological roles of GLUT1 in bovine CL, we examined GLUT1 mRNA expression in the CL under hypoxic conditions by ...
متن کاملRole of luteal prostaglandins in the control of bovine corpus luteum functions.
Current and emerging concepts on regulation of bovine corpus luteum function by various metabolites of arachidonic acid are reviewed. A series of experiments are presented which support the concept that prostacyclin (PGI2), a metabolite of arachidonic acid via the cyclooxygenase pathway, plays a luteotropic role, and that products of the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, part...
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...
