Abstract: Objective To research into the expression of GPR30 mRNA and protein in myometrial tissue before and after the onset of labor and their relativity with parturition. Methods Between March 2011 and March 2012, full-term pregnancy women were selected in Qingdao Municipal Hospital. Those who chose elective cesarean section at term were grouped as nonlaboring (n=40) and others who required emergency cesarean section after the active period of labor were categorized as laboring (n=50). Then, a small amount of myometrial tissue strips were collected respectively from two groups during cesarean section and tested by Real-time PCR and Western blot for the expression of GPR30 mRNA and protein. And venous blood was also extracted before operation to verify the amount of E2, E3 and P via radioimmunoassay.Results Real-time PCR showed GPR30 mRNA expressed in myometrial tissue strips of both groups. Means of △Ct for the laboring group and the nonlaboring group were 3.08±0.35 and 4.02±0.67 correspondingly, which displayed statistical significance (P<0.05) in their difference. Relative quantitative analysis made by Double △Ct revealed that the expression of GPR30 mRNA for the laboring was 1.92 times more than that of the nonlaboring. Obviously, the laboring group had higher level of serum E2 and E3 [(7882.41±921.76)pmol/L,(544.12±15.58)nmol/L] than the other group [(5210.72±873.13)pmol/L,(326.36±12.26)nmol/L].Using Western blot, we detected GPR30 protein in myometrial tissue strips of two groups. Its level in the laboring group (4.06±0.25) was apparently higher than that of the nonlaboring group (1.94±0.23), and the difference showed statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion The high expression of GPR30 may participate in the regulation of estrogen to uterine contraction during pregnancy and parturition.
