Angiogenesis is important for endometrial remodeling in mature females. The endometrium synthesizes high amounts of prostacyclin (PGI2) but the role of PGI2 in angiogenesis-related events in this tissue was not fully described. In the present study, porcine endometrial endothelial (pEETH) cells and/or a swine umbilical vein endothelial cell line (G1410 cells) were used to determine the regulation of PGI2 synthesis and PGI2 receptor (PTGIR) expression by cytokines and to evaluate the effect of PGI2 on pro-angiogenic gene expression, intracellular signaling activation, cell proliferation and migration, cell cycle distribution, and capillary-like structure formation. We found that IL1β, IFNγ, and/or TNFα increased PGI2 secretion and PTGIR expression in pEETH cells. Iloprost (a PGI2 analogue) acting through PTGIR enhanced the transcript abundance of KDR, FGFR2, and ANGPT2 and increased proliferation of pEETH cells. This latter was mediated by PI3K and mTOR activation. In support, transfection of G1410 cells with siRNA targeting PGI2 synthase decreased pro-angiogenic gene expression and cell proliferation. Furthermore, iloprost accelerated the gap closure and promoted cell cycle progression. Intriguingly, the formation of capillary-like structures was inhibited but not completely blocked by iloprost. These findings point to a complex pleiotropic role of PGI2 in angiogenesis-related events in the porcine uterus.
血管生成对于成熟雌性动物的子宫内膜重塑很重要。子宫内膜合成大量前列环素(PGI2),但 PGI2 在该组织中与血管生成相关事件的作用尚未完全描述。在本研究中,使用猪子宫内膜内皮(pEETH)细胞和/或猪脐静脉内皮细胞系(G1410 细胞)来确定细胞因子对 PGI2 合成和 PGI2 受体(PTGIR)表达的调节作用,并评估 PGI2 对促血管生成基因表达、细胞内信号转导激活、细胞增殖和迁移、细胞周期分布和毛细血管样结构形成的影响。我们发现,IL1β、IFNγ 和/或 TNFα 增加了 pEETH 细胞中 PGI2 的分泌和 PTGIR 的表达。PGI2 类似物伊洛前列素(Iloprost)通过 PTGIR 增强了 KDR、FGFR2 和 ANGPT2 的转录丰度,并增加了 pEETH 细胞的增殖。这是通过 PI3K 和 mTOR 激活介导的。支持这一发现的是,用靶向 PGI2 合酶的 siRNA 转染 G1410 细胞会降低促血管生成基因的表达和细胞增殖。此外,伊洛前列素加速了间隙闭合并促进了细胞周期进程。有趣的是,伊洛前列素抑制但不完全阻断了毛细血管样结构的形成。这些发现表明 PGI2 在猪子宫中与血管生成相关事件中具有复杂的多效作用。
