Title in Portuguese
Mecanismos endócrinos e moleculares pelos quais o estradiol estimula a síntese de prostaglandina F2α no endometrial em fêmeas bovinas

Abstract in Portuguese
O estradiol (E2) é requerido para a luteólise de fêmeas bovinas e injeções de E2 estimulam a liberação de prostaglandina F2α (PGF2α). É possível que o E2 estimule a síntese e/ou a atividade de moléculas envolvidas na cascata geradora de PGF2α, como enzimas e receptores para outros ligantes. O cálcio é um conhecido cofator para a proteína quinase C e fosfolipase A2, enzimas envolvidas na produção PGF2α. O objetivo geral desse estudo foi investigar os mecanismos endócrinos e moleculares estimulados pelo E2 durante a luteólise. No experimento 1, vacas holandesas não lactantes foram tratadas com 3mg de E2 nos dias 13 (n=2), 15 (n=2), 17 (n=3) e 19 (n=5) do ciclo estral e a produção de PGFM (metabólito plasmático da PGF2α) mensurada por radioimunoensaio. Concluiu-se que a administração de E2 no 17º dia do ciclo estral constitui um modelo experimental adequado para determinar os mecanismos envolvidos na síntese de PGF2α. O experimento 2, foi realizado para investigar o papel do E2 na cascata produtora de PGF2α. Novilhas cruzadas de corte, cíclicas, não lactantes, foram pareadas no dia 17 de um ciclo estral sincronizado, injetadas com 0 (n=6) ou 3mg de E2 (n=7) e abatidas 2 horas após. Explantes endometriais foram tratados com os seguintes estimuladores da síntese de PGF2α: ionóforo de cálcio (CI), melitina ou ocitocina. Explantes foram incubados em quadruplicata e amostras de meio foram coletadas imediatamente e 60 minutos após o início da cultura. As concentrações de PGF2α foram mensuradas por radioimunoensaio. Explantes endometriais tratados in vitro com CI tiveram um incremento na síntese de PGF2α de 48,41% quando foram previamente tratados com o E2 (P≤0,01). No experimento 3, células endometriais bovinas (células BEND) foram tratadas com 0, 10-7, 10-6 ou 10-5M CI por 12h em triplicata, em três experimentos independentes. As concentrações de 10-6 e 10-5M de CI estimularam a produção de PGF2α em comparação às outras concentrações (P≤0,05). No experimento 4, células BEND receberam 0 ou 10-13M E2 e 0 ou 10-6M CI em um arranjo fatorial 2 x 2, durante 12h em triplicata, em três experimentos independentes. A produção de PGF2α foi de 33,1; 32,5; 92,4 e 145,6 (EPM: 21,8) pg/mL para células não tratadas, tratadas com E2, CI e E2 + CI, respectivamente. Houve uma tendência do tratamento com CI estimular a produção de PGF2α (P≤0,08), entretanto, na presença de E2 o CI estimulou significativamente a síntese de PGF2≤ (P≤0,01). Conclui-se que em fêmeas bovinas o E2 potencializou os efeitos do CI na síntese de PGF2α endometrial. Propõe-se que o E2 ativa a síntese de enzimas que, estimuladas pelo cálcio, atuam na síntese de PGF2α endometrial

Abstract in English
Estradiol (E2) is required for luteolysis in bovine female and E2 injections stimulate prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) release. It is possible that E2 stimulates synthesis and/or activity of molecules in the cascade of PGF2α production, such as enzymes and receptors to other ligands. Calcium is a known cofactor for protein kinase C and phospholipase A2, enzymes involved in PGF2α production. The main goal of this study was to investigate endocrine and molecular mechanisms stimulated by E2 during luteolysis. In experiment 1, non-lactating Holstein cows were treated with 3mg E2 on days 13 (n=2), 15 (n=2), 17 (n=3) or 19 (n=5) of the day estrous cycle and production PGFM (a PGF2α plasma metabolite) was evaluated by radioimmunassay. It was concluded that E2 administration on day 17 of the cycle was an adequate experimental model to determine mechanisms involved in endometrial PGF2α synthesis. Experiment 2 was designed in order to investigate the role of E2 in the enzymatic cascade of PGF2α production. Cyclic, cross-bred beef heifers were paired on day 17 of a synchronized estrous cycle, injected with 0 (n=6) or 3mg of E2 (n=7) and slaughtered after two hours. Endometrial explants were treated with stimulators of the cascade of PGF2α synthesis, i.e., calcium ionophore (CI), melittin or oxytocin. Explants were incubated in quadruplicate and medium samples were collected immediately and 60min after to begin culture. The concentrations PGF2α were measured by radioimmunoassay. Endometrial explants in vitro treatment with CI production the PGF2α was 48,41% higher in from cows treated with E2 (P≤0,01). In experiment 3, bovine endometrium cells (BEND cells) were treated with 0, 10-7, 10-6 or 10-5M CI for 12h in triplicate, in three independent experiments. The 10-6 and 10-5M concentrations of CI stimulated production of PGF2α in comparison to other concentrations (P≤0,05). In experiment 4, BEND cells received 0 or 10-13M E2 and 0 or 10-6M CI in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, for 12h in triplicate cultures in three independent experiments. Production of PGF2α was 33.1, 32.5, 92.4 and 145.6 (pooled SEM: 21.8) pg/mL for cells treated with nothing, E2, CI and E2 + CI, respectively. Treatment with CI alone tended to stimulate PGF2α production (P≤0,08), however, in the presence of E2, CI significantly stimulated PGF2α synthesis (P≤0,01). It was concluded that in bovine female the E2 improved the CI effects in endometrial PGF2α synthesis. It proposes that E2 active the enzyme synthesis that, calcium stimulated, actuate in endometrial PGF2α synthesis
