Roles for prostaglandins in the steroidogenic response of human granulosa cells to high-density lipoproteins

Abstract

In human granulosa-lutein cells, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) can stimulate progesterone synthesis. The objective of the present study was to establish whether prostaglandins (PGs) participate in the steroidogenic response to HDL. Both HDL and apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) stimulated concentration-dependent increases in PGE2, cAMP and progesterone accumulation. The minimum concentrations of HDL and ApoAI required to elevate PGE2 production were the same as those required to stimulate cAMP accumulation and progesterone synthesis. Concentrations of PGE2 were elevated within 10 min in cells exposed to HDL and rose progressively over 24 h, whereas cAMP and progesterone were only increased significantly after 24 h of treatment with HDL. Co-treatment with prostaglandin H synthase inhibitors (meclofenamic acid and indomethacin) abolished the cAMP and progesterone responses to both HDL and ApoAI. Hence, the ability of HDL to stimulate progesterone synthesis can be mimicked by ApoAI and appears to involve increased generation of one or more luteotrophic PGs, possibly acting via cAMP.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases.
