Prostaglandin F2 Alpha Triggers the Disruption of Cell Adhesion with Cytokeratin and Vimentin in Bovine Luteal Theca Cells

Intermediate filaments (IFs) maintain cell–cell adhesions and are involved in diverse cellular processes such as cytokinesis, cell migration and the maintenance of cell structure. In this study, we investigated the influence of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) on cytokeratin and vimentin IFs, Rho-asso...

description Intermediate filaments (IFs) maintain cell–cell adhesions and are involved in diverse cellular processes such as cytokinesis, cell migration and the maintenance of cell structure. In this study, we investigated the influence of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) on cytokeratin and vimentin IFs, Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), and cell-cell adhesion in bovine luteal theca cells (LTCs). The luteal cells were isolated from bovine corpus luteum (CL), and the LTCs were treated with 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mM PGF2α. Cytokeratin, vimentin and desmoplakin proteins were disrupted and the ROCK protein was significantly increased in PGF2α-treated LTCs. In addition, cell–cell adhesion was significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) decreased in the PGF2α-induced LTCs compared to control group (0 mM PGF2α). In conclusion, PGF2α affected the adhesion of cell to cell via disruption of desmoplakin, cytokeratin and vimentin, additionally increasing ROCK in bovine LTCs. These results may provide a better understanding of the mechanism of bovine CL regression.
