Estradiol (E2) and progesterone are responsible for regulating PG synthesis in the endometrium during the estrous cycle and interferon-{tau} (IFN-{tau}) alters PG synthesis during early pregnancy in ruminants. In this study, we examined the effects of these steroid hormones and recombinant bovine IFN-{tau} (rbIFN-{tau}) on PG production and on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and PG F (PGF) synthase (PGFS) gene expression in isolated endometrial cells. E2 decreased both PGF2{alpha} and PG E2 (PGE2) whereas progesterone increased PGF2{alpha} secretion in epithelial cells. Steroid hormones had no effect on PG production in stromal cells. rbIFN-{tau} attenuated both PGF2{alpha} and PGE2 production in epithelial cells and enhanced their production, and the ratio of PGE2 to PGF2{alpha}, in stromal cells. Northern blot analysis showed that E2 and rbIFN-{tau} decreased COX-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in epithelial cells. Conversely, rbIFN-{tau} increased COX-2 mRNA in stromal cells. Furthermore, rbIFN-{tau} decreased PGFS mRNA in both cell types and this was associated with the increase in PGE2/PGF2{alpha} ratio. These results show that the regulation of PG synthesis by steroid hormones is different in endometrial epithelial and stromal cells in vitro. The attenuation of PGF2{alpha} secretion from epithelial cells and increased PGE2 production in stromal cells by rbIFN-{tau} are modulated by steroid hormones.
