Vascular and immune regulation of corpus luteum development, maintenance, and regression in the cow

Domestic Animal Endocrinology
K ShirasunaA Miyamoto

Abstract

The bovine corpus luteum (CL) is a unique, transient organ with well-coordinated mechanisms by which its development, maintenance, and regression are effectively controlled. Angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor A and basic fibroblast growth factor, play an essential role in promoting progesterone secretion, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. These processes are critically regulated, through both angiogenic and immune systems, by the specific immune cells, including macrophages, eosinophils, and neutrophils, that are recruited into the developing CL. The bovine luteolytic cascade appears to be similar to that of general acute inflammation in terms of time-dependent infiltration by immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages, and T lymphocytes) and drastic changes in vascular tonus and blood flow, which are regulated by luteal nitric oxide and the vasoconstrictive factors endothelin-1 and angiotensin II. Over the period of maternal recognition of pregnancy, the maternal immune system should be well controlled to accept the semiallograft fetus. The information on the presence of the developing embryo in the genital tract is suggested to be transmitted to the ovary by both the endocrine system and the circul...Continue Reading
