Effect of porcine conceptus secretory proteins on in vitro secretion of prostaglandins-F2 alpha and -E2 from luminal and myometrial surfaces of endometrium from cyclic and pseudopregnant gilts.

Uterine endometrium collected from pseudopregnant (PP) and cyclic gilts on day (D) 15 after estrus were perifused in vitro with 10 ug/ml of porcine conceptus secretory proteins (pCSP) or serum proteins (SP) in Krebs ringer bicarbonate (KRB) buffer. In Experiment 1, samples were collected from luminal and myometrial surfaces of endometrium and concentrations of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF) determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Secretion of PGF by endometrium from cyclic gilts was stimulated (P less than .05) by pCSP. In Experiment 2, endometrium from D 14 cyclic and PP gilts was perifused and concentrations of PGF and prostaglandin E2 (PGE) in perfusate were determined by RIA. Across both statuses, luminal surface secretion of PGF was stimulated (P less than .05) by pCSP. Treatment with pCSP decreased secretion of PGE from myometrial surface of endometrium from cyclic gilts and increased (P less than .01) secretion of PGE from the myometrial surface of endometrium from PP gilts. In Experiment 3, pCSP were separated into acidic and basic fractions by anion exchange chromatography and each fraction was perifused separately over the luminal surface of endometrium from cyclic and PP gilts. Perifusion with acidic pCSP suppressed secretion of PGF by endometrium from cyclic or PP gilts; while basic pCSP did not influence secretion of PGF. These results demonstrated that products secreted by Day 15 pig conceptuses stimulate release of PGF and PGE from porcine uterine endometrium.[1]
