| Popis: | Endothelial cells (EC) of the bovine corpus luteum (CL) are a known source of proinflammatory mediators, including monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (CCL2) and endothelin 1 (EDN1). Here, a coculture system was devised to determine if immune cells and PGF2α together affect CCL2 and EDN1 secretion by EC. Luteal EC were cultured either alone or together with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and treated without or with PGF2α for 48 h (n = 6 experiments). Coculture of EC with PBMC increased CCL2 secretion an average of 5-fold higher compared with either cell type alone (P 0.05). EC cocultured with concanavalin A-activated PBMC (ActPBMC) increased CCL2 secretion an average of 12-fold higher compared with controls (P 0.05). Interestingly, PGF2α did not alter either CCL2 or EDN1 secretion, regardless of culture conditions (P >... |
