Prostacyclin (PGI2) biosynthesis during pregnancy was investigated by measuring urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1.alpha. (dinor) and 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1.alpha. (15 kd dinor) with the use of specific gas chromatography-mass spectometry assays. Nine normotensive nonpregnant women, 5 normotensive women in the mid-trimester of pregnancy, 8 normotensive women in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and 6 women who developed hypertension during the 3rd trimester provided 24-h samples of urine. Normal pregnant women had a 5-fold increase in urinary excretion of dinor in comparison to nonpregnant women (253 .+-. 21 ng dinor/g creatinine for controls vs. 1224 .+-. 110 and 1127 .+-. 152 for 2nd and 3rd trimesters) (mean .+-. SEM [standard error of the mean]). Pregnant subjects with hypertension had a significant (50%) reduction in urinary dinor excretion in comparison to normotensive pregnant subjects (561 .+-. 105 ng dinor/g creatinine). In subjects selected from each group, the ratio of dinor to 15 kd dinor remained constant. PGI2 biosynthesis is increased during normal pregnancy, and this increase is less in pregnancy-induced hypertension. This raises the possibility that PGI2 helps mediate hemodynamic changes during normal pregnancy, and that a relative decrease in production might be related to the pathogenesis of pregnancy-induced hypertension.
