1 22492973 Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of cytokines--tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), interferon gamma (IFNG) and Fas ligand (FASL)--on in vitro modulation of angiogenic activity and mRNA level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF), its receptor VEGFR2, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1), and its receptor CD36 in equine corpus luteum (CL) throughout the luteal phase.

3 22492973 The role of VEGF on regulation of luteal secretory capacity was assessed by progesterone (P(4)) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production and by mRNA levels for steroidogenic enzymes 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3betaHSD) and PGE synthase (PGES).
4 22492973 The role of VEGF on regulation of luteal secretory capacity was assessed by progesterone (P(4)) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production and by mRNA levels for steroidogenic enzymes 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3betaHSD) and PGE synthase (PGES).
5 22492973 In early CL cells, TNF increased angiogenic activity (bovine aortic endothelial cell viability) and VEGF and VEGFR2 mRNA levels and decreased CD36 (real-time PCR relative quantification).
6 22492973 In early CL cells, TNF increased angiogenic activity (bovine aortic endothelial cell viability) and VEGF and VEGFR2 mRNA levels and decreased CD36 (real-time PCR relative quantification).
7 22492973 In mid-CL cells, TNF increased VEGF mRNA and protein expression (Western blot analysis) and reduced CD36 mRNA levels, while FASL and TNF+IFNG+FASL decreased VEGF protein expression.
8 22492973 In mid-CL cells, TNF increased VEGF mRNA and protein expression (Western blot analysis) and reduced CD36 mRNA levels, while FASL and TNF+IFNG+FASL decreased VEGF protein expression.
9 22492973 In late CL cells, TNF and TNF+IFNG+FASL reduced VEGFR2 mRNA, but TNF+IFNG+FASL increased TSP1 and CD36 mRNA.
10 22492973 In late CL cells, TNF and TNF+IFNG+FASL reduced VEGFR2 mRNA, but TNF+IFNG+FASL increased TSP1 and CD36 mRNA.
11 22492973 VEGF treatment increased mRNA levels of 3betaHSD and PGES and secretion of P(4) and PGE(2).
12 22492973 VEGF treatment increased mRNA levels of 3betaHSD and PGES and secretion of P(4) and PGE(2).
13 22492973 In conclusion, these findings suggest a novel auto/paracrine action of cytokines, specifically TNF, on the up-regulation of VEGF for angiogenesis stimulation in equine early CL, while at luteolysis, cytokines down-regulated angiogenesis.
