摘要
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) are regulators of feto-placental hemodynamics. In this study we explore the inter-regulatory pathways that modulate the levels of these vasoactive agents in control and neonatal streptozotocin-induced (n-stz) diabetic rat placenta. ET-1 levels are increased in diabetic placenta when compared to controls (P<0.001), and are strongly reduced by an NO synthase inhibitor (P<0.001). PGE(2) production is increased in diabetic placenta when compared to controls (P<0.01), but these levels are not modulated by ET-1. NO levels, similar in control and in diabetic placenta, are not influenced by PGE(2), but they are negatively modulated by ET-1 in both control (P<0.05) and diabetic (P<0.01) placenta. We conclude that rat placental ET-1 inhibits NO levels but does not modify PGE(2) concentrations. The elevated levels of ET-1 and PGE(2) in diabetic placenta, potent vasoconstrictors of placental vasculature, are probably related to the induction of placental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia in this pathology.
