Abstract

The molecular events that lead to the onset of labor in humans and in other mammalian species remain unclear. We propose that a decline in coactivators containing histone acetylase activity in myometrium may contribute to the onset of labor by impairing the function of the progesterone–progesterone receptor (PR) complex. As assessed by semiquantitative and real-time RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting, expression of the PR coactivators cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein and steroid receptor coactivators 2 and 3 was decreased in fundal uterine tissue of women in labor. Using the mouse as an animal model, we also found decreased coactivator levels in uterine tissues at term. In both human and mouse, the levels of acetylated histone H3 were also decreased in uterine tissues at term. Administration of trichostatin A, a specific and potent histone deacetylase inhibitor, to pregnant mice late in gestation increased histone acetylation and delayed the initiation of parturition by 24–48 h, suggesting the functional importance of the decline in histone acetylation in the initiation of labor. These findings suggest that the decline in PR coactivator expression and in histone acetylation in the uterus near term may impair PR function by causing a functional progesterone withdrawal. The resulting decrease in expression of PR-responsive genes should increase sensitivity of the uterus to contractile stimuli.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
