Local effects of the sphingosine 1-phosphate on prostaglandin F2alpha-induced luteolysis in the pregnant rat
Since the regression of the corpus luteum (CL) occurs via a tightly controlled apoptotic process, studies were designed to determine if local administration of the antiapoptotic agent sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) effectively blocks the luteolytic action of prostaglandin F-2alpha (PGF-2α). On day 19...

In addition, cell death was evaluated by electronic microscopy (EM) in CL 4 and 36 hr after PGF-2α injection. The activity of caspase-2, -3, and -8 was significantly greater by 4 hr after PGF-2α, but not caspase-9 activity. In contrast, expression of pAKT and TNF-α decreased significantly. Administration of S1P suppressed (P < 0.05) these effects, decreasing caspase activities and increasing pAKT and TNF-α expression. The administration of S1P also significantly decreased the percentage of luteal apoptotic cells induced by PGF-2α. PGF-2α treatment increased the prevalence of luteal cells with advanced signs of apoptosis (i.e., multiple nuclear fragments, chromatin condensation, or apoptotic bodies). S1P treatment suppressed these changes and increased the blood vessel density.
