- W2073358788 abstract "The uterine vasculature plays an important role during pregnancy by providing adequate perfusion of the maternal-fetal interface. To this end, substantial remodeling of the uterine vasculature occurs with consequent changes in responsiveness to contractile agents. The purpose of our study was to characterize the vasorelaxant effects of estrogens on vascular smooth muscles of the rat uterine artery during pregnancy and to evaluate the involvement of estrogen receptors (ESR) and nitric oxide synthases (NOS). To do so, we measured NOS expression in the whole uterine and mesenteric circulatory bed by Western blotting. Vasorelaxant effects of 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E(2)) were assessed on endothelium-denuded uterine arteries with wire myographs in the absence and presence of pharmacological modulators [nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), ICI-182780, tamoxifen]. All experiments were performed on arteries from nonpregnant (NP) and late pregnant (P) rats. In the uterine vasculature of the latter group, NOS3 (endothelial NOS) expression was increased, while NOS1 (neuronal NOS) was reduced compared with NP rats. Expression of the NOS2 (inducible NOS) isoform was undetectable in the two groups. Both 17beta-E(2) and 17alpha-E(2) induced uterine artery relaxation, but the latter evoked lower responses. Endothelium-denuded arteries from NP rats showed larger relaxation with 17beta-E(2) than P rats. This larger relaxation disappeared in the presence of L-NAME. The ESR antagonist ICI-182780 did not affect acute relaxation with 17beta-E(2) and 17alpha-E(2). Moreover, membrane-nonpermeant 17beta-E(2):BSA (estradiol conjugated to bovine serum albumin) did not induce any vasorelaxation. Our results indicate that estrogens exert direct acute vasorelaxant effects in smooth muscles of the rat uterine artery that are mediated by mechanisms independent of ESR activation, but with some stereospecificity. Part of this effect, in NP rats only, is due to nitric oxide produced from muscle NOS1." @default.
