PG - 384-389 LID - S0093-691X(19)30450-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2019.10.003 [doi] AB - The objective was to determine the effects of pregnancy status on oxylipin profiles and eicosanoid metabolizing enzymes and in corpora lutea (CL) or endometrial (caruncle; CAR and intercaruncle; IC) tissues. Angus crossed cattle were synchronized with the CO-Synch protocol and artificially inseminated (AI). Sixteen days after AI, cattle were euthanized, and reproductive tracts collected from 6 non-pregnant and 6 pregnant cows. Oxylipin profiles and concentrations of progesterone (P(4)) were obtained from CL tissues. The activity of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes were determined using specific luminogenic substrates. Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS, and the model included pregnancy status. Corpora lutea of pregnant cattle contained greater (P < 0.05) concentrations of 9,10-DiHODE, 15,16-DiHODE, and 9,10-DiHOME. These oxylipins have been observed to increase cellular proliferation and vasodilation. Activity of CYP1A in the CL and UGT in CAR and IC was not different (P > 0.05) between pregnant and non-pregnant cattle. In the CL, activity of UGT was decreased (P < 0.05) in pregnant vs. non-pregnant cattle. The decrease in CL UGT activity during pregnancy indicates alterations in local hormone metabolism, while no differences in CL weight nor amount of P(4) in CL were different between pregnant and non-pregnant cattle. Moreover, the increase in specific concentrations of oxylipins in the CL may indicate a novel pathway of steroid and eicosanoid metabolism during maternal recognition of pregnancy.
