Human myometrial gene expression before and during parturition

Identification of temporal and spatial changes in myometrial gene expression during parturition may further the understanding of the coordinated regulation of myometrial contractions during parturition. The objective of this study was to compare the gene expression profiles of human fundal myometrium from pregnant women before and after the onset of labor using a functional genomics approach, and to further characterize the spatial and temporal expression patterns of three genes believed to be important in parturition. Fundal myometrial mRNA was isolated from five women in labor and five women not in labor, and analyzed using human UniGEM-V microarrays with 9182 cDNA elements. Real-time polymerase chain reaction using myometrial RNA from pregnant women in labor or not in labor was used to examine mRNA levels for three of the genes; namely, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), calgranulin B (S100A9), and oxytocin receptor (OXTR). The spatial expression pattern of these genes throughout the pregnant uterus before and after labor was also determined. Immunolocalization of cyclooxygenase-2 (also known as PTGS2) and S100A9 within the uterine cervix and myometrium were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Few genes were differentially expressed in fundal myometrial tissues at term with the onset of labor. However, there appears to be a subset of genes important in the parturition cascade. The cellular properties of S100A9, its spatial localization, and dramatic increase in cervix and myometrium of women in labor suggest that this protein may be very important in the initiation or propagation of human labor.

Expression of enzymes of cyclooxygenase pathway and secretion of prostaglandin E2 and F2alpha by porcine myometrium during luteolysis and early pregnancy

Past studies of uterine prostaglandin (PGs) and pig reproduction have focused on endometrial rather than myometrial PGs. This study documents the synthesis and secretion of myometrial prostaglandins (PGs) in pigs and the involvement of oxytocin (OT) in these processes. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression was similar in myometrial explants from cyclic and pregnant pigs (days 14-16) and OT (10(-7) M) in vitro significantly increased COX-2 protein regardless of reproductive state. Basal expression of prostaglandin E2 synthase (PGES) was higher during pregnancy than during luteolysis. Conversely, prostaglandin F synthase (PGFS) was highest during luteolysis and lower in myometrium from gravid animals. OT had no influence on the expression of PGES and PGFS. In another tissue culture experiment, myometrial slices produced more PGE2 than PGF2alpha regardless of reproductive state of the female. OT stimulated PGE2 production in myometrium harvested during luteolysis and increased PGF2alpha production in all tissues examined. Progesterone (P4; 10(-5) M) blocked stimulatory effect of OT on myometrial PG release. Myometrial OTr mRNA was higher (P=0.03) during luteolysis than during pregnancy. In conclusion: (1) oxytocin increases myometrial COX-2 expression, but does not influence the expression of terminal enzymes of PGs synthesis (PGES and PGFS); (2) porcine myometrium preferentially produces PGs during early pregnancy and secretes more PGE2 than PGF2alpha; (3) myometrial OT and OTr support secretion of PGs from myometrium during luteolysis.     

The effect of prostaglandin I on the contractility of the term pregnant human myometrium

Small myometrial strips were dissected from the upper and lower segments of the term pregnant human uterus. The specimens were superfused in organ chambers and contractile activity was recorded isometrically. In strips from the upper segment, prostacyclin (PGI2), induced an initial excitatory response followed in the majority of experiments by transient inhibition. In the lower segment the response was generally the same although direct inhibition without initial stimulation occurred in some cases. During the period of inhibition the specimens were refractory to iterated exposure to PGI2. Furthermore, during this period of PGI2-induced inhibition the muscle strip was also refractory to PGE2 but responded to PGF2 alpha and oxytocin by stimulation. After inhibition of spontaneous contractile activity induced by indomethacin PGI2 induced an excitatory response. The results do not indicate any critical change in the myometrial responsiveness of the upper uterine segment to PGI2 during labor. In strips from the lower segment obtained before labor there tended to be a dominance of non-responders and inhibition only as compared to the results during labor. Nevertheless, whether or not PGI2 under physiological or pharmacological conditions has any significant influence on the contractility of the term pregnant human uterus, still remains obscure. As judged from earlier reports from our laboratory and the present study it is evident that the uterine vessels are considerably more sensitive to the action of PGI2 than the myometrium.     

Expression of prothrombin and protease activated receptors in human myometrium during pregnancy and labor

As thrombin is proposed to be involved in stimulating myometrial contractility during labor and preterm labor, we aimed to investigate the expression of prothrombin (F7), the precursor of thrombin, its receptors, the protease-activated receptor (PAR) family (F2R, F2RL1, F2RL2, and F2RL3), and prothrombinase FGL2 in human myometrium during pregnancy and labor. Messenger RNA and protein were isolated from human pregnant laboring and nonlaboring myometrial tissue and from human primary myometrial smooth muscle cells. Semiquantitative RT-PCR, real-time fluorescence RT-PCR, Western blotting, and fluorescence microscopy were performed to determine the expression levels of F7, FGL2, F2R, F2RL1, F2RL2, and F2RL3 in the myometrial tissues and cells. The expression of mRNA and protein for these molecules is reported for the first time in human myometrium at term pregnancy, at labor, and in the nonpregnant state. Importantly, an increase in F2R and a significant increase in F2RL3 mRNA expression at labor were demonstrated. Statistically significant increases in F2R and F2RL3 protein expression was also detected in human myometrium at labor. Furthermore, FGL2 mRNA expression at labor, and FGL2 protein expression at term pregnancy and at labor was observed in this tissue for the first time. The expression of F7, FGL2, F2R, F2RL1, F2RL2, and F2RL3 in human myometrium reveals that all the machinery necessary for thrombin activation and cellular activity is present in the myometrium during pregnancy and labor. These data, in conjunction with the demonstrated increase in F2R and F2RL3 expression at labor, suggest a principal role for these molecules in the regulation of myometrial function at labor, including preterm labor.

Regional expression of prostaglandin E2 and F2alpha receptors in human myometrium, amnion, and choriodecidua with advancing gestation and labor

The change from uterine quiescence to enhanced contractile activity may be due to the differential expression of prostaglandin receptors within the myometrium and fetal membranes, in a temporal and topographically distinct manner. To address this question, we determined the localization and expression of the PGE2 receptor subtypes (PTGER1-4) and the PGF2alpha receptor (PTGFR) in paired upper and lower segment myometrium, amnion, and choriodecidual samples throughout human pregnancy, with and without labor. All receptor subtypes were found throughout the muscle layers in both the upper and lower uterine segments, colocalizing with alpha smooth muscle actin. A change in intracellular localization was observed at term labor, where PTGER1 and PTGER4 were predominately associated with the nucleus. Minimal changes in the expression of the PGE2 and PGF2alpha receptor subtypes were observed with gestational age, labor, or between the upper and lower myometrial segments. Receptor expression in maternal and fetal tissues differed between the receptor subtypes; PTGER1 and PTGER4 were predominately expressed in the fetal membranes, PTGER2 was greatest in the myometrium, whereas PTGER3 and PTGFR were similarly expressed in the myometrium and fetal membranes. Myometrial activation through the prostaglandin receptors is perhaps more subtle and may be mediated by a balance between one or several of the prostaglandin receptor subtypes together with other known contraction associated proteins. Lack of coordination in receptor expression between the myometrium and fetal membranes may indicate different regulatory mechanisms between these tissues, or it may suggest a function for these receptors in the amnion and choriodecidua that is independent of that seen in the myometrium.     

吡那地尔对缺血缺氧PC12细胞凋亡及Bcl-2蛋白表达的影响

目的探讨吡那地尔对缺血缺氧PC12细胞凋亡及对Bcl-2蛋白表达的影响。方法取传代后3d PC12细胞,分为A（对照组）,B（缺血缺氧组）,C（KATP通道开放剂）,D（KATP通道开放剂＋阻断剂组）。采用Annexin—v FITC／PI双染流式细胞分析仪检测凋亡率,应用免疫荧光染色和Western blot检测Bcl-2蛋白表达水平。结果缺血缺氧后B,C,D组细胞凋亡率随时间点增加而增加,24h达高峰。B,C,D组与A组比较均有显著性差异（P〈0．01）,C组和B,D组比较有统计学意义（P〈0．01）,B,C,D组细胞Bcl-2蛋白表达随时间点增加而增加,12h达高峰。B,C,D组均显著高于对照组（P〈0．01或P〈0．05）。C组表达显著高于B和D组（P〈0．01）。B与D组各时间点细胞凋亡及Bcl—2蛋白表达均无显著性差异（P〉0．05）。结论KATP通道开放剂能抑制缺血缺氧PC12细胞凋亡,这一作用机制可能与增加Bcl—2蛋白表达有关。     

The effect of relaxin on the oxytocin receptor in human uterine smooth muscle cells

Experimental objectives: Activation of the oxytocin receptor (OTR) induces phospholipase C induced PIP(2) turnover in the human uterus. Relaxin (RLX), a polypeptide hormone produced in the corpus luteum of pregnancy as well as in the placenta and decidua inhibits PIP(2) turnover and subsequent signaling in human myometrium. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a possible effect of RLX on OTR regulation in human uterine smooth muscle cells. Primary cultures of myometrium from term pregnant women undergoing elective caesarean section were incubated for different time periods (0-96 h) and with different concentrations of RLX [10 pg/ml-20 microg/ml]. The effects on OTR binding, mRNA and protein expression were evaluated by means of (125)I-OVT binding assay, RT-PCR and flow cytometry. RESULTS: Prolonged RLX incubation was able to inhibit 30-40% of OTR binding while binding affinity remained unchanged. Oxytocin receptor mRNA and protein expression were down regulated by RLX about 50% and 35% respectively. CONCLUSION: We report for the first time an effect of RLX on OTR regulation in human uterine myometrial cells. The above results indicate that high local uterine RLX concentrations may be involved in uterine quiescence during human pregnancy by down regulating the OTR.     

麦冬不同提取物对过氧化氢损伤人血管内皮细胞ICAM-1、VEGF、Bcl-2表达的影响

目的：观察麦冬不同提取物对过氧化氢诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞（HUVEC）间黏附分子-1（ICAM-1）和VEGF、Bcl-2表达的影响。方法：体外培养HUVEC,用过氧化氢（H2O2）制造HUVEC损伤模型。以四甲基偶氮唑蓝（MTT）比色法检测细胞存活数量,用流式细胞仪检测HUVEC表面ICAM-1的表达量;免疫细胞化学方法检测HUVEC的VEGF、Bcl-2的分布情况。结果：模型组较正常对照组细胞增殖活性明显降低（P〈0．01）。与模型组相比,经麦冬水提物、正丁醇提取物处理组细胞增殖活性明显增加（P〈0．05,P〈0．01）。流式细胞仪检测显示正丁醇提取物可降低过氧化氢增加的ICAM-1基因的表达。Bcl-2的表达,模型组明显低于正常对照组,而正丁醇组表达明显高于模型组（P〈0．01）。VEGF的表达,模型组明显高于正常对照组,麦冬水提物、正丁醇提取物处理组高于模型纽（P〈0．05,P〈0．01）。结论：麦冬提取物具有抗凋亡、促增殖、降低细胞间黏附分子-1表达的作用,尤以正丁醇提取物效果更为显著。
