Comparison of the specific binding of cortisol in human amnion, amniotic fluid, and plasma.

Abstract:

:The purpose of this study was to compare the specific cortisol-binding protein found associated with human amnion with specific cortisol binding in human amniotic fluid and plasma. The electrophoretic mobility on polyacrylamide gels of the specific cortisol binding in amnion, amniotic fluid, and maternal plasma was identical. The influence of pH on cortisol binding activity was similar in all tissues and the cortisol binding was immunoprecipitable by a polyclonal antibody raised against human corticosteroid-binding globulin. The interaction of the cortisol binding protein with concanavalin A was studied in preterm amniotic fluid, term amniotic fluid, term amnion, and plasma from pregnant women at term and women under oral contraceptive treatment. Binding to concanavalin A was similar in term amnion and term amniotic fluid but was less than that found with both preterm amniotic fluid and term plasma. These results indicate that the cortisol binding protein associated with human amnion has similar characteristics to plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin, but that its state of glycosylation appears to be more like that of the cortisol binding protein in term amniotic fluid rather than in plasma.
