摘要：Previous work from our laboratory has demonstrated that T lymphocyte-derived cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) may play a role in human luteal regression by inhibiting luteal progesterone production. Prostaglandin F2a has been known as an important luteolytic factor in a wide range of mammalian species. It was of interest to investigate the effects of IFN-γ on prostaglandin synthesis and their possible interaction with the inhibition on human luteal steroidogenesis. Human luteal cells were cultured for four days in the presence or absence of IFN-γ. Simultaneously, the productions of progesterone, prostaglandin F2a ( PGF2a ), prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ), and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1a(PGF1a) were evaluated. Concomitant with the inhibition of progesterone production induced by IFN-γ, a biphasic pattern of response of. prostaglandin synthesis was observed, i.e. a slight decrease of PGF2a and PGF1a after a 48 h exposure to IFN-γ while an increase of PGE2 after 96 h. In a separate experiment, a luteotropic action of PGE2 and PGF2a on human luteal cells from different stages was observed during 48 and 96 h periods of culture. In addition, while indomethacin (INDO) treatment markedly blocked the prostaglandin synthesis, the basal as well as hCG stimulated progesterone production was still inhibited by IFN-γ as usual. These results suggested that prostaglandins appeared to be not responsible for the observed inhibition of progesterone production since the inhibitory effect was not influenced by concurrent treatment with INDO which suppressed prostaglandin synthesis.
