The effect of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) fragments 1-34, 38-64, and 67-86 on acetylcholine-stimulated rat uterine contraction was examined in vitro. In addition, the possibility that PTHrP-(38-64) or (67-86) influenced relaxation caused by PTHrP-(1-34) was also investigated. Contraction of uterine horns was stimulated with 10(-6) or 10(-5) M acetylcholine. PTHrP-(1-34) reduced the magnitude of acetylcholine-stimulated uterine contraction. This effect was dose related over a concentration range of 10(-9)-10(-6) M. Neither PTHrP-(38-64) or PTHrP-(67-86) at concentrations of 10(-8)-10(-6) M affected uterine contraction stimulated by 10(-6) M acetylcholine. These fragments did not affect the relaxation caused by 10(-7) M PTHrP-(1-34). These results demonstrate that (1) PTHrP-(1-34) at 10(-6) M influences contraction of the rat myometrium and (2) the muscle relaxant activity of PTHrP is associated with the first 34 N-terminal amino acids.
在体外研究了甲状旁腺激素相关蛋白(PTHrP)片段1 - 34、38 - 64和67 - 86对乙酰胆碱刺激的大鼠子宫收缩的影响。此外,还研究了PTHrP -(38 - 64)或(67 - 86)影响由PTHrP -(1 - 34)引起的舒张的可能性。用10^(-6)或10^(-5) M乙酰胆碱刺激子宫角收缩。PTHrP -(1 - 34)降低了乙酰胆碱刺激的子宫收缩幅度。在10^(-9) - 10^(-6) M的浓度范围内,这种作用与剂量相关。浓度为10^(-8) - 10^(-6) M的PTHrP -(38 - 64)或PTHrP -(67 - 86)均不影响由10^(-6) M乙酰胆碱刺激引起的子宫收缩。这些片段不影响由10^(-7) M PTHrP -(1 - 34)引起的舒张。这些结果表明:(1)10^(-6) M的PTHrP -(1 - 34)影响大鼠子宫肌层的收缩;(2)PTHrP的肌肉舒张活性与N端前34个氨基酸有关。
