Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the effects of oxytocin(OT) and prostaglandins intervention on oxytocin receptor(OTR) expression of primary culture of human myometrial smooth muscle cell.Methods Using respectively oxytocin, prostaglandin E2(PGE2),and prostaglandin F2alpha(PGF2alpha) intervened on human myometrial smooth muscle cell.The expression of OTR mRNA and protein of cell hemogenate was examined.Results The expression of OTR between oxytocin intervention group and untreated group was similar.The expression of OTR in cell was significantly higher in the PGE2 or PGF2alpha intervention group than that in the untreated group.The expression of OTR in cell was significantly higher in the PGE2 and PGF2alpha joint intervention group than that in the untreated group and than that in the PGE2 or PGF2alpha individual intervention group.Conclusion Oxytocin didn′t increse the expression of OTR in human myometrial smooth muscle cell.PGE2 and PGF2alpha incresed the expression of oxytocin receptor in human myometrial smooth muscle cell.Furthermore PGE2 and PGF2alpha joint intervention more significantly increased the expression of oxytocin receptor than PGE2 or PGF2alpha individual intervention in human myometrial smooth muscle cell.
