The precise mechanisms of the reproductive physiological processes, such as labor initiation, are poorly understood. Oxytocin (OT) is one of the well-known uterotonics and is clinically adopted as a medication to facilitate childbirth. Vasopressin (VP), a posterior pituitary hormone similar to OT, has also been proposed to be involved in the reproductive physiology. In this study, we found that a total deficiency of V1a receptor subtype (V1aR) in mice resulted in a reduced number of pups, delayed labor initiation, and increased post-delivery hemorrhage compared with those in wild-type mice. Among the VP receptor subtypes, only V1aR was found to be expressed in the murine uterus, and its distribution pattern was different from that of the oxytocin receptor (OTR); V1aR expression was mainly distributed in the circular myometrium, whereas OTR was strongly expressed in both the circular and longitudinal myometrium. The maximum contractile force of the circular myometrium, induced by VP or OT, was attenuated in the pregnant uterus of Avpr1a-deficient mice. Contrarily, while OT expression was decreased in the Avpr1a-deficient uterus, OTR expression was significantly increased. These results suggest that V1aR deficiency not only reduces the uterine contractile force but also perturbs the expression of genes responsible for the reproductive physiology. Therefore, V1aR is necessary to exert the maximum contraction of the circular myometrium to deliver pups. This study revealed an important role of V1aR in physiological contraction and term parturition in mice.

V1a 加压素受体在小鼠分娩中的关键作用†

生殖生理过程的精确机制,如分娩开始,知之甚少。催产素 (OT) 是众所周知的宫缩剂之一,临床上被用作促进分娩的药物。血管加压素 (VP) 是一种类似于 OT 的垂体后叶激素,也被认为与生殖生理有关。在这项研究中,我们发现与野生型小鼠相比,小鼠 V1a 受体亚型 (V1aR) 的完全缺乏导致幼崽数量减少、分娩开始延迟和分娩后出血增加。在VP受体亚型中,仅发现V1aR在鼠子宫中表达,其分布模式与催产素受体(OTR)不同;V1aR 表达主要分布在圆形肌层,而 OTR 在圆形和纵向子宫肌层中均强烈表达。由 VP 或 OT 诱导的圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩力在 Avpr1a 缺陷小鼠的怀孕子宫中减弱。相反,虽然 Avpr1a 缺陷子宫中 OT 表达降低,但 OTR 表达显着增加。这些结果表明,V1aR 缺乏不仅会降低子宫收缩力,还会扰乱负责生殖生理的基因的表达。因此,V1aR 是必要的,以发挥圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩来分娩幼崽。这项研究揭示了 V1aR 在小鼠生理收缩和足月分娩中的重要作用。由 VP 或 OT 诱导,在 Avpr1a 缺陷小鼠的怀孕子宫中减弱。相反,虽然 Avpr1a 缺陷子宫中 OT 表达降低,但 OTR 表达显着增加。这些结果表明,V1aR 缺乏不仅会降低子宫收缩力,还会扰乱负责生殖生理的基因的表达。因此,V1aR 是必要的,以发挥圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩来分娩幼崽。这项研究揭示了 V1aR 在小鼠生理收缩和足月分娩中的重要作用。由 VP 或 OT 诱导,在 Avpr1a 缺陷小鼠的怀孕子宫中减弱。相反,虽然 Avpr1a 缺陷子宫中 OT 表达降低,但 OTR 表达显着增加。这些结果表明,V1aR 缺乏不仅会降低子宫收缩力,还会扰乱负责生殖生理的基因的表达。因此,V1aR 是必要的,以发挥圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩来分娩幼崽。这项研究揭示了 V1aR 在小鼠生理收缩和足月分娩中的重要作用。这些结果表明,V1aR 缺乏不仅会降低子宫收缩力,还会干扰负责生殖生理的基因的表达。因此,V1aR 是必要的,以发挥圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩来分娩幼崽。这项研究揭示了 V1aR 在小鼠生理收缩和足月分娩中的重要作用。这些结果表明,V1aR 缺乏不仅会降低子宫收缩力,还会扰乱负责生殖生理的基因的表达。因此,V1aR 是必要的,以发挥圆形子宫肌层的最大收缩来分娩幼崽。这项研究揭示了 V1aR 在小鼠生理收缩和足月分娩中的重要作用。
