Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) has been shown to be a potent stimulator of prostaglandin (PG) F-2 alpha secretion in the bovine endometrium. The aims of the present study were to determine the cell types in the endometrium (epithelial or stromal cells) responsible for the secretion of PGF(2 alpha) in response to TNF alpha, and the intracellular mechanisms of TNFa action. Cultured bovine epithelial and stromal cells were exposed to TNF alpha (0.006-6 nM) or oxytocin (100 nM) for 4 h. TNF alpha resulted in a dose-dependent increase of PGF(2 alpha) production in the stromal cells (P < 0.001) but not in the epithelial cells. On the other hand, oxytocin stimulated PGF(2 alpha) output in the epithelial cells but not in the stromal cells. When the stromal cells were incubated for 24 h with TNF alpha and inhibitors of phospholipase (PL) C or PLA(2) only PLA(2) inhibitor completely stopped the actions of TNF alpha (P < 0.001). When the stromal cells were exposed to TNF alpha and arachidonic acid, the action of TNF alpha was augmented (P < 0.001). When the stromal cells were incubated for 24 h with a nitric oxide (NO) donor (S-NAP), S-NAP stimulated the PGF(2 alpha) production dose-dependently. Although an NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME) reduced TNF alpha-stimulated PGF(2 alpha) production, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase augmented the actions of TNF alpha and S-NAP (P < 0.05). The overall results indicate that the target of TNF alpha for stimulation of PGF(2 alpha) production in cattle is the endometrial stromal cells, and that the actions of TNF alpha are mediated via the activation of PLA, and arachidonic acid conversion. Moreover, TNF alpha may exert a stimulatory effect on PGF(2 alpha) production via the induction of NOS and the subsequent NO-cGMP formation.
