Kisspeptin (KiSS) and its related receptors (KiSS1R) have a critical role in the reproduction of mammals. The KiSS/KiSS1R system is expressed in numerous reproductive organs including the ovary. Here, we studied the expression of the KiSS/KiSS1R system and its functional role in rabbit corpora lutea (CL) at days 4 (early-), 9 (mid-), and 13 (late-stage) of pseudopregnancy. In vitro progesterone, prostaglandin (PG) F2α (PGF2α) and E2 (PGE2) productions and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) and 2 (PTGS2) activities were evaluated. Immune reactivity (IR) for KiSS and KiSS1R were detected in luteal cells at nuclear and cytoplasmic level at all luteal stage for KiSS and only at early- and mid-stage for KiSS1R; IR decreased from early- to later stages of pseudopregnancy. The KiSS-10 augmented progesterone and PGE2 and diminished PGF2α secretions by early- and mid-CL; KiSS-10 reduced PTGS2 activity at early- and mid-stages, but did not affect PTGS1 at any luteal stages. The antagonist KiSS-234 counteracted all KiSS-10 effects. This study shows that the KiSS/KiSS1R system is expressed in CL of pseudopregnant rabbits and exerts a luteotropic action by down-regulating PTGS2, which decreases PGF2α and increases PGE2 and progesterone.
