Alcohol exposure during pregnancy results in an array of structural and functional abnormalities called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Alcohol dysregulates the exquisite coordination and regulation of gestational adaptations at the level of the uterine vasculature. We herein hypothesized that chronic binge-like alcohol impairs maternal uterine artery reactivity to vasoconstrictors and dilators and that alcohol-induced vascular dysfunction is dependent on the endothelium. We utilized a once-daily binge alcohol (4.5 g/kg body weight) exposure paradigm (gestational day (GD) 7-17) in a pregnant rat model system and investigated primary uterine artery function in response to vasoconstrictors and vasodilators utilizing wire myography. Alcohol (peak blood alcohol concentration, 216 mg/dl) produced uterine vascular dysfunction in the absence of grossly observable growth deficits in maternal and fetal body weights, fetal crown-rump length and placental weight. Alcohol did not produce altered uterine vascular reactivity to α1 adrenergic agonist phenylephrine or the prostanoid thromboxane. However, alcohol specifically impaired endothelium-dependent acetylcholine (Ach)-mediated uterine artery vasodilation but exogenous endothelium-independent vasodilators like sodium nitroprusside exhibited no alcohol effect; Ach significantly decreased vessel relaxation (P=0.003; ↓pD2 (negative log molar Ach concentration producing the half maximum response), −7.004±0.215 vs. −6.310±0.208; EMax (maximal Ach response), 92% vs. 75%). We conclude that moderate alcohol exposure impairs uterine vascular function in pregnant mothers. Alcohol specifically impairs endothelium-dependent agonist-induced uterine artery vasodilation. In summary, the maternal uterine compartment may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of FASD. Thus, the mechanistic targets of alcohol at the level of both the mother and the fetus need to be considered in order to develop effective therapeutic treatment strategies for FASD.
