Abstract

The mammalian oviduct plays an important role in the fertilisation and transport of gametes and embryo. Prostaglandins (PGs) are local mediators of oviductal functions and are involved in fertilisation and the transport of gametes and embryo. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a kind of phospholipid, is involved in various physiological actions. We hypothesised that LPA regulates PG production in the bovine oviduct. To test this hypothesis, we examined the mRNA expression of LPA receptors (LPAR16) and LPA-producing enzymes (ATX, PLA1α, PLA1β) in ampullary and isthmic tissues and in cultured epithelial and stromal cells isolated from the bovine oviduct. We also investigated the effects of LPA on PG synthase expression and PG production in cultured cells. The mRNA of LPAR14, 6, ATX and PLA1α were expressed in cultured epithelial and stromal cells. The expressions of LPAR13 were significantly lower and the expression of LPAR4 was significantly higher in the isthmic than in the ampullary tissues. Lysophosphatidic acid significantly stimulated PG production in the cultured isthmic stromal cells. The overall findings suggest that LPA stimulates PG production via LPAR4 in the bovine oviduct. Since PGs are important for fertilisation and the transport of gametes and embryo, these findings show that locally produced LPA regulates oviductal functions.

Additional keywords: cultured cells, cyclooxygenase, smooth muscle movement, stromal cells.
