The primary role of prostaglandin (PG) F2αin regression of the corpus luteum has been clearly demonstrated in many mammalian species. We have used in vivo and in vitro approaches to investigate the possibility that exogenous PGF2αinduces expression of prostaglandin G/H synthase-2 (PGHS-2; cyclooxygenase- 2) and causes production of PGF2αin ovine luteal cells. Ewes received infusions into the ovarian artery of 1 ml PGF2α(1 μmol) or saline, and corpora lutea were collected at various times and analyzed for PGHS-2 mRNA using quantitative, competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. PGF2α. dramatically increased the steady-state concentration of mRNA for PGHS-2 within 1 h, but basal concentration returned at 12 h posttreatment. In vitro studies using isolated ovine large luteal cells indicated that mRNA for PGHS-2 was induced by PGF2α'phorbol didecanoate, and ionomycin in a pattern similar to that observed in vivo. PGHS-2 protein was induced by all three treatments – h later, and accumulation of PGF2α. in the culture media increased at 12 and 24 h posttreatment. In conclusion, we have provided evidence that PGF2α' probably acting through the protein kinase C/free intracellular calcium pathway, can stimulate large luteal cells to express PGHS-2 and produce PGF2α. This luteal PGF2αis likely to have an autocrine/paracrine function to augment the luteolytic effect of PGF2αof uterine origin.
