Preterm labor remains the single biggest predictor of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The factors responsible for the onset of labor at term are not clearly defined, and the onset of preterm labor is similarly poorly understood. Since nitric oxide (NO) was first identified, there has been increasing interest in its role during pregnancy and the onset of labor. Its physiological function as a potent mediator of smooth muscle relaxation implicates a role in myometrial quiescence during pregnancy, and changes in NO levels might be one of many factors responsible for the onset of labor. This article reviews the current evidence, from both animal and human studies, of the putative roles of NO in the onset of parturition and considers the therapeutic use of NO donors in tocolysis.
Benachi A, Garritsen HSP, Howard CM, et al., 1997, Lack of expression of Rh-D in human trophoblast, Infusionstherapie und Transfusionsmedizin, Vol: 24, ISSN: 1424-5485
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the Rh D is expressed in trophoblast at any stage of gestation. STUDY DESIGN: Trophoblast and fetal tissue were obtained from 18 pregnancies at 8 to 40 weeks gestation. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) were extracted from trophoblast. cDNA was synthesised from RNA and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was performed using primers within the Rh D gene. DNA was extracted from fetal tissue to determine, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the fetal Rh D status. PCR products were resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. Antigen expression was also sought by analytical cytometric analysis (flowcytometry and immunohistochemistry) using a monoclonal anti D antibody. RESULTS: We studied trophoblast from various combinations of Rh D and Rh d fetuses (on DNA) from Rh D and Rh d mothers to find no Rh D gene expression in any sample. FACS and immunocytochemistry data confirmed this by demonstrating no Rh D antigen sites on trophoblast cells. CONCLUSION: Contrary to a previous report, we conclude that the Rh D gene is not expressed in human trophoblast in any trimester.
