1	22847916	The purpose of the present study was to elucidate if tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF), interferon γ (IFNG), and/or progesterone (P4) play roles in regulating NO generating system in LECs.
2	22847916	Cultured bovine LECs obtained from the CL at the mid-luteal stage (Days 8-12 of the cycle) were treated for 24 hr with TNF (2.9 nM), IFNG (2.5 nM), or P4 (0.032-32 µM).
3	22847916	NO production was increased by TNF and IFNG, but decreased by P4 (P < 0.05).
4	22847916	TNF and IFNG stimulated the relative steady-state amounts of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA and iNOS protein expression (P < 0.05), whereas P4 inhibited relative steady-state amounts of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein expression (P < 0.05).
5	22847916	TNF and IFNG stimulated NOS activity (P < 0.05) and 1400W, a specific inhibitor of iNOS, reduced NO production stimulated by TNF and IFNG in LECs (P < 0.05).
6	22847916	The overall findings suggest that TNF and IFNG accelerate luteolysis by increasing NO production via stimulation of iNOS expression and NOS activity in bovine LECs.
7	22847916	P4, on the other hand, may act in maintaining CL function by suppressing iNOS expression in bovine LECs.
