Ureaplasma diversum infection in vitro alters prostaglandin E sub(2) and prostaglandin F sub(2a) production by bovine endometrial cells without affecting cell viability
Bovine epithelial and stromal cells of the endometrium were inoculated with Ureaplasma diversum, pathogenic strain 2312, at 10 super(6) or 10 super(3) color-changing units (ccu)/ml in the presence of 1% fetal bovine serum (depleted of steroids by dextran-charcoal treatment) to assess the effect of i...

| Summary: | Bovine epithelial and stromal cells of the endometrium were inoculated with Ureaplasma diversum, pathogenic strain 2312, at 10 super(6) or 10 super(3) color-changing units (ccu)/ml in the presence of 1% fetal bovine serum (depleted of steroids by dextran-charcoal treatment) to assess the effect of infection on prostaglandin biosynthesis. Alterations in prostaglandin production were not due to cell deterioration. The observations suggest that U. diversum can alter prostaglandin E sub(2) and prostaglandin F sub(2a) patterns in primary cultures of bovine endometrial cells without affecting cell viability. |
