In addition, the effects of EP_2 receptor selective agonist on the fetal DA were also examined. In the first series of experiments, EP_1, EP_2, EP_3 and EP_4 receptor mRNA expressions were investigated in the DA in fetal (day 21 of gestation) and newborn (1 hour and 3 hours after delivery) rats by RT-PCR analysis. In the second series of experiments, pregnant rats were given intravenous injections of EP_2 receptor selective agonist (L-lysine (z)-7-[(1R, 2R, 3R, 5R)-5-chloro-3-hydroxy-2-[(E)-(S)-4-(1-ethylcyclobutyl)-4-hydroxy-l-butenyl] cyclopentyl]-5-heptenate) at 3, 10, and 30mg/kg. The DA and pulmonary artery (PA) in the fetal rats were calibrated using a whole-body freezing method on day 21 of gestation. The results were follows : (1) all PGE_2 receptor subtypes were expressed in the DA in fetal and newborn rats. (2) The DA caliber and the DA/PA ratio of the EP_2 receptor selective agonist-treated group were not significantly different from those in the control group. It was concluded that all PGE_2 receptor subtypes were expressed in the DA in both fetal and newborn rats and that EP_2 receptor selective agonist has no constrictive or dilating effects on the DA in fetal rats., P(論文), 特集, application/pdf, FEATURE ARTICLES}, pages = {212--214}, title = {周生期動脈管におけるEP_<1~4>受容体の発現動態とその機能}, volume = {11/12}, year = {2006}, yomi = {シライ, ミツユキ and アリシマ, カズヨシ and ヤマモト, マサコ} }
