Abstract:
:To determine if increased endometrial vascular permeability (a response which precedes decidualization) could be obtained in temporally nonsensitized uteri by treatments designed to increase endometrial adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations, cholera toxin (an activator of adenylate cyclase) was injected into the uterine lumen of immature rats treated to be at the equivalent of day 4, 5, or 6 of pseudopregnancy. In all experiments, the rats were pretreated with indomethacin to inhibit endogenous prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. Endometrial vascular permeability, determined using 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin, was assessed 8 h later. Cholera toxin increased endometrial vascular permeability to the same level in all groups. As determined by uterine weights 5 days after the intrauterine administration of cholera toxin or its vehicle, the toxin produced the same extent of decidualization in all groups. Cholera toxin had no detectable effect on uterine cAMP concentrations in rats sacrificed 15 min after intrauterine treatment. In contrast, intrauterine administration of PGE2 increased uterine cAMP concentrations at 15 min in all groups. These data suggest that the effects of cholera toxin and of PGE2 on endometrial vascular permeability and decidualization are not mediated by cAMP.
