Abstract
Corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrinal tissue that undergoes repeated formation and regression during the estrous cycle. In this study, we hypothesized that the functional and structural mechanism of angiogenesis is similar between CL and tumor formation. First, we measured mRNA and protein expression of angiogenic receptors (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, VEGFR2; Tie 2) in the early, middle, and late phase CL tissues during the estrous cycle. Ral-interacting protein of 76 kDa (RLIP76) and H-ras mRNA and protein were also expressed in the CL tissues. VEGFR2 and Tie 2 mRNA and protein were expressed in the early and middle phase CLs and decreased in the late phase. H-ras mRNA and protein were expressed in the early and middle phase CLs, but not in the late phase. RLIP76 mRNA was expressed in all phase CLs, and the protein expression was highest in early phase CLs. We suggest that RLIP76 and H-ras, an oncogenic gene, regulate the function of the CL during the estrous cycle, and the proteins will play an important role in the angiogenic mechanism of the CL.
