- W1996764552 abstract "Objective Endogenous uterine agonists can activate numerous signaling pathways to effect increased force. Our objective was to assess expression of key constituents of these pathways, in alliance with contractile function, through late gestation and during term and preterm labor. Study Design Using myography, we measured the response to 3 agonists compared with depolarization alone (K+, 124 mEq/L) and calculated agonist/depolarization ratio. We measured gene expression using quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. Results Contractile responsiveness to depolarization alone, oxytocin, or endothelin-1 increased during pregnancy compared with nonpregnant animals. The agonist/depolarization ratio did not change during uterine activation or parturition. Inhibition of rhoA-associated kinase decreased responses to oxytocin in all tissues, but significantly more during uterine activation. Expression of rhoA and rhoA-associated kinase was increased significantly in active labor at term or preterm. Conclusion The rhoA/rhoA-associated kinase pathway is a key regulator of uterine activation during labor and may be a useful target for the prevention of spontaneous preterm birth.
