Excess dietary protein intake in early lactation dairy cows resulting in blood urea nitrogen of greater than 19 to 20 mg/dL. is associated with decreased fertility. Little is known about the local interference of urea in the normal immunological environment of the oviduct that provides optimal conditions for early reproductive events. A bovine oviduct epithelial cell (BOEC) culture was used to determine how urea influences immune environment. The BOEC monolayer was supplemented with low (20 mg/dL) and high (40 mg/dL) concentrations of urea together with ovarian steroids, estradiol (1 ng/mL) and progesterone (1 ng/mL), and LH (10 ng/mL,) at concentrations observed during the preovulatory period. The urea values used in this study were equivalent to 9.3 and 18.7 mg/dL of blood urea nitrogen, which are typically common in lactating dairy cows with low or high protein intake, respectively. Stimulation of BOEC with 40 mg/dL of urea induced gene expression of IL10 and 114, epithelial-derived T helper type 2-driving (anti-inflammatory) cytokines as well mPGES-1 expression and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE2) secretion. However, urea concentrations of both 20 and 40 mg/dL failed to alter the expression of IL1B and Th1-driving cytokines, and the gene expression of TLR4. However, a concentration of 40 mg/dL, of urea stimulated alpha 1-acid glycoprotein expression, an acute phase protein Data from this in vitro study suggest that urea, at least in part, contributes to influence the expression of some immune-related genes toward T helper type 2 type and prostaglandin E-2 secretion, leading to disruption in local environment for fertilization and early embryonic development.
