Group IVA phospholipase A(2) activity may mediate prostaglandin F(2alpha)-induced luteal regression in pseudopregnant rats. Prostaglandins & other lipid mediators, 2009, Volume: 90, Issue:3-4 We investigated role(s) of luteal group IVA phospholipase A(2) (GIVA PLA(2)) in prostaglandin (PG) F(2alpha)-induced regression in pseudopregnant rats. Prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) treatment of day 6 pseudopregnant rats stimulated luteal PLA(2) activity, which was sensitive to inhibitors and associated with increased GIVA PLA(2) immunoreactivity. Intra-bursal treatment with the enzyme inhibitor (AACOCF3) prior to PGF(2alpha) failed to prevent the initial decline in progesterone but induced subsequently a persistent rise that was significantly higher than that of vehicle-treated group. TUNEL-positive signals in luteal cells of control group were reduced by AACOCF3 treatment. TUNEL-positive reaction induced in luteal cells in vitro by combined cytokines and agonistic anti-Fas were both reduced by AACOCF3 and another inhibitor pyrrophenone. Overall data show that luteal GIVA PLA(2) activity and expression increased following PGF(2alpha) administration and that acute chemical inhibition of this activity could reverse, at least partly, PGF(2alpha)-induced functional regression and prevent apoptosis induced by PGF(2alpha)in vivo and by cytokines in vitro.
