Effects of prostaglandins and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone on phosphatidic acid-phosphatidylinositol labeling in rat granulosa cells.
In cultures of rat granulosa cells, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) increases 32P incorporation into both phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidic acid (PA). After 20 min, the level of radioactivity was three- to four-fold (p less than 0.01) above control in the PI and PA fractions, respectively. The stimulatory effect of LHRH on 32P incorporation was limited to PI and PA. Similar to the effects of LHRH, a rapid and marked increase of 32P incorporation into both PI and PA is observed upon addition of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) (10(-5)M) to rat granulosa cells. Incorporation of radioactivity into PA was already increased (p less than 0.05) by 2 min following PGF2 alpha addition, while the increase in 32P-labeled PI became significant (p less than 0.01) by 5 min. In contrast to PGF2 alpha, the labeling of PI and PA following the addition of PGE2 (10(-5)M) was not significantly different from control levels during the entire 10 min of incubation. The sensitivity of the increased PA-PI labeling induced by LHRH and PGF2 alpha is compared in another experiment. After 20 min incubation 10(-6)M LHRH increased PI and PA labeling by six- and four-fold, respectively. Although the effect of PGF2 alpha is less than that of LHRH, 10(-5)M PGF2 alpha significantly (p less than 0.01) increased PI and PA labeling by three- and two-fold, respectively. By contrast, 10(-6)M PGE2 failed to affect 32P incorporation into the various phospholipid fractions, but a small enhancement (p less than 0.05) of PI and PA labeling was observed only at 10(-5)M PGE2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
