pubmed:abstractText |
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) has been shown to be a potent stimulator of prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha synthesis in bovine endometrial stromal cells. The aims of the present study were to determine the effect of interferon-tau (IFNtau) on TNFalpha-stimulated PGF2alpha synthesis and the intracellular mechanisms of TNFalpha and IFNtau action in the stromal cells. When cultured bovine stromal cells were exposed to TNFalpha (0.006-0.6 nM) for 24 h, the production of PGF2alpha and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 gene expression were stimulated by TNFalpha (0.06-0.6 nM, P < 0.05). Moreover, a specific COX-2 inhibitor (NS-398; 5 nM) blocked the stimulatory effect of TNFalpha on PGF2alpha production (P < 0.05). Although IFNtau (0.03-30 ng/ml) did not stimulate basal PGF2alpha production in the stromal cells, it suppressed TNFalpha action in PGF2alpha production dose dependently (P < 0.05). Moreover, the stimulatory effect of TNFalpha (0.6 nM) on COX-2 gene expression was completely blocked by IFNtau (30 ng/ml; P < 0.05), although the gene expression of COX-2 was not influenced by IFNtau. The overall results indicate that the stimulatory effect of TNFalpha on PGF2alpha production is mediated by the up-regulation of COX-2 gene expression and suggest that one of the mechanisms of the inhibitory effect of IFNtau on luteolysis is the inhibition of TNFalpha action in PGF2alpha production in the stromal cells by the down-regulation of COX-2 gene expression stimulated by TNFalpha.
