An important cause of subfertility in cattle is prolonged luteal phases of the oestrous cycle associated with postpartum metritis or endometritis (Opsomer and others, 2000). This uterine disease is commonly associated with the presence of Escherichia coli and there are high concentrations of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the uterine fluid and peripheral plasma of these animals (Dohmen and others 2000, Mateus and others 2003, Williams and others 2005). The duration of the oestrous cycle is determined by the presence of a corpus luteum in the ovary. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland formed after ovulation that secretes progesterone under the regulation of luteinising hormone (LH) until luteolysis initiates the next follicular phase (Schams and Berisha, 2004). The mechanisms underlying the extended lifespan of the corpus luteum by uterine infection could include disruption of luteolysis associated with changes in endometrial secretion of prostaglandins by LPS (Herath and others, 2006). Alternatively, there may be a direct effect of LPS on the function of luteal cells, so the present study used in vitro culture to test this paradigm.Corpora lutea were collected from cattle immediately after slaughter at an abattoir. The stage of the oestrous cycle was determined using the criteria of Ireland and others (1980) and only corpora lutea from the mid-luteal phase were used in the present study. The method of luteal cell isolation and culture was as previously described (Pate and Condon 1982). Briefly, cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion of luteal tissue, washed and plated in 24 well plates at a density of 2.5× 105 cells/ml in supplemented Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium nutrient mixture F-12 Ham (Sigma, Poole, UK). The media was changed after 36 hours and treatments applied to the cells for 24 to 48 hours, as indicated in the results. At the end of the treatment period, the supernatants were collected and stored at− 20 C until progesterone concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay, as previously described (Barret and Wathes 1990). The cells in each well were washed twice with saline, trypsin (Accutase, Sigma) was applied, the cells suspended in media, and the number of lives cells counted using the Trypan Blue exclusion method and a haemocytometer. For each experiment, cultures were conducted in triplicate from at least 3 corpora lutea and maintained at 37 C, 5% CO2 in air, in a humidified incubator. To test if the luteal cells were functional in vitro, they were treated with LH (at final concentrations of 1, 3, 10 and 30 ng/ml; LH courtesy of Dr. Parlow, NIDDK, USA); control cultures were supplied with media. To determine the effect of LPS, E. coli O55: B5 LPS (0.1, 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 μg/ml; Sigma, Poole, UK) was applied alone, or in the presence of 10 ng/ml LH or the LPS antagonist, polymyxin B (1, 2, 4, 8 μg/ml; Sigma, Poole, UK). Data were analysed using a general linear model in SPSS ver 14.0 (SPSS, Chicago, USA). Data are reported as mean±SEM, and significance attributed when P< 0.05.
