Kinetic effect of oestrogen on secretion of prostaglandins E2 and F2α in bovine oviduct epithelial cells

This study aimed to investigate the effect of oestrogen on prostaglandin E2 (PGE_2) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF_(2α)) secretion in bovine oviduct epithelial cells. Bovine oviduct epithelial cells were obtained from the lumen of fresh bovine oviducts. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and in-cell western assays were used to measure PGE_2 and PGF_(2α) synthase activity and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect the concentrations of the two prostaglandins in extracellular fluid. We observed that oestradiol caused a short-term increase in cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), which stimulated PGE_2 and PGF_(2α) secretion, and that a subsequent decrease in COX-2 and an increase in cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1 ) produced a high PGE_2 : PGF_(2α) ratio. These findings reflect the dynamic change in PGE_2 and PGF_(2α) levels under the influence of oestrogen, which may be essential for fertilisation.
