The bovine CL is one of the sites for the production of prostaglandins (PG). Although many in vitro models, mainly using dispersed luteal cell incubations, have shown the variety of CL responses to PGs (luteotropic, no effect, or luteolytic), the functional role of luteal PGs in cattle remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of PGs with respect to progesterone (P4) and oxytocin (OT) release from the bovine CL in vitro (Days 8-12 of the estrous cycle) via a microdialysis system (MDS), in which intact cell-to-cell contact exists. Thirty-minute perfusion with PGF2 alpha, PGE2, and PGI2 (10(-10)-10(-5) M) induced significant, but different, acute effects. PGF2 alpha and PGE2 clearly stimulated hormone (P4 and OT) release, while PGI2 slightly inhibited hormone secretion during infusion at low doses but stimulated secretion at 10(-6) and 10(-5) M concentrations. Additionally, catabolized PGF2 alpha and PGI2 (13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha [PGFM] and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, respectively) induced responses different from those of the original PGs; both PGFM and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha at low doses weakly inhibited P4 release, but at 10(-5) M concentration stimulated release. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA), a potent stimulator of the protein kinase C (PKC) system in bovine luteal cells, stimulated P4 and OT release when administered alone. Pre-exposure with TPA (10(-9) M) for 2.5 h resulted in an increase in the stimulative potency of PGF2 alpha and PGI2, but not of PGE2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
