The second messengers mediating hormonal regulation of the corpus luteum are incompletely defined, particularly for the primary luteolytic hormone prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α). In this study, hormonally induced changes in free intracellular calcium concentrations were measured in individual small and large ovine luteal cells by using computer-assisted microscopic imaging of fura-2 fluorescence. This technique could readily detect transient increases in free calcium concentrations within both small and large luteal cells after treatment with 1 μM of the calcium ionophore, A23187. Treatment with PGF2α(1 μM) caused a dramatic increase in free calcium concentrations in large (before = 73 ± 2 nM; 2 min after PGF2α= 370 ± 21 nM; n = 33 cells) but not in small (before = 66 ± 4 nM; 2 min after PGF2α= 69 ± 8 nM; n = 12 cells) luteal cells. The magnitude and timing of the calcium response was dose- and time-dependent. The PGF2α-induced increase in free intracellular calcium is probably due to influx of extracellular calcium, since inclusion of inorganic calcium channel blockers (100 μM manganese or cobalt) attenuated the response to PGF2αand removal of extracellular calcium eliminated the response. In contrast to PGF2α, luteinizing hormone (LH) (100 ng/ml) caused no change in intracellular levels of free calcium in small or large luteal cells, even though this dose of LH stimulated (p < 0.01) progesterone production by small luteal cells. Therefore, alterations in free calcium concentrations could be the intracellular second message mediating the luteolytic action of PGF2αin the large ovine luteal cell.
