Prostanoids are important regulators of ovarian function, especially
during ovulation and luteolysis. Cyclooxygenase (Cox) is the
rate-limiting enzyme in conversion of arachidonic acid to prostanoids.
We have examined the expression and regulation of the inducible Cox
isoform (Cox-2) and of the receptor for PGF2
(FP) in
human granulosa cells obtained from women undergoing oocyte retrieval
for in vitro fertilization. Freshly isolated granulosa
cells express Cox-2 and FP receptor messenger RNAs (mRNAs). FP receptor
mRNA is also expressed in cultured human granulosa-luteal (GL) cells,
but Cox-2 transcripts are expressed only upon induction.
Interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) elevated Cox-2 mRNA steady state levels in a
concentration-dependent manner, and kinetic studies showed that Cox-2
mRNA levels were already induced at the 2 h point and returned to
the basal level after incubation for 24 h. The protein synthesis
inhibitor, cycloheximide, induced Cox-2 mRNA expression and potentiated
the effect of IL-1ß. Degradation of Cox-2 mRNA was inhibited by
IL-1ß, which suggests regulation at the posttranscriptional level.
IL-1ß also induced the expression of Cox-2 protein, as detected by
immunofluorescence staining using Cox-2-specific polyclonal antibodies.
Further, IL-1ß-induced synthesis of prostanoids was blocked by a
Cox-2-specific inhibitor, NS-398. In addition, hCG induced Cox-2 mRNA
expression and potentiated the effect of IL-1ß. However, in contrast
to the rapid and transient effect of IL-1ß on Cox-2 mRNA, the effect
of hCG followed slower kinetics. We have previously shown that hCG
induces expression of human FP receptor mRNA in cultured human GL
cells. We now show that IL-1ß induces FP receptor mRNA in a time- and
concentration-dependent manner. Our data suggest that Cox-2 and FP
receptor are coexpressed in freshly isolated human granulosa cells and
that their expression is up-regulated by IL-1ß and hCG in cultured
human GL cells.
