Distinct phospholipase A2 enzymes regulate prostaglandin E2 and F2alpha production by bovine endometrial epithelial cells
BACKGROUND The rate-limiting step in prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis is catalyzed by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes which hydrolyze arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. Despite their importance in uterine PG production, little is known concerning the specific PLA2 enzymes that regulate arachidonic acid liberation in the uterine endometrium. The objectives of this study were to evaluat...
متن کاملProduction of prostaglandin E2 by tumor cells in vitro.
Our previous observations on the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by bladder tumor cell lines in vitro and the enhancement of tumor cell PGE2 production upon exposure to purified peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal human donors prompted us to examine this interaction in an animal model in order to further define conditions that determine the occurrence of this phenomenon. Cell lines d...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2 regulation of bovine endometrial (BEND) cell prostaglandin production
BACKGROUND Prostaglandins (PG), produced by the uterine endometrium, are key regulators of several reproductive events, including estrous cyclicity, implantation, pregnancy maintenance and parturition. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, the rate-limiting step in PG biosynthesis. The bovine endometrial (BEND) cell line has served as a m...
متن کاملEffect of LH on prostaglandin F2alpha and prostaglandin E2 secretion by cultured porcine endometrial cells.
LH appears to be a potent stimulator of the release of endometrial prostaglandins (PGs) in the pig. The aim of the present studies was to examine the effect of LH on PGF2alpha and PGE2 secretion by cultured porcine endometrial cells on days 10-12 and 14-16 of the oestrous cycle and to compare its action with oxytocin. A time-dependent effect of LH (10 ng/ml) on PGF2alpha release from luminal ep...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 in Soluble Factor-Mediated Immune Suppression by First Trimester Decidual Cells
Several studies have shown that decidual tissue produces soluble factors which can mediate a variety of immunosuppressive activities. In order to assess whether prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was present in supernatants produced by explant culture of 10 human specimens of first trimester decidua. The effect of the supernatants from the two different series (with and without indomethacin treatment) ...
