Although endothelin-1 is synthesized by human amnion, its physiologic role and its ability to be transferred to myometrium for oxytocic action remain unclear. We investigated the transfer of endothelin-1 itself and the effects of endothelin-1 on the transfer of tritiated water across human amnion or amnion/chorion/decidua in vitro with an Ussing chamber technique. Permeability coefficients (mean±standard error) for 3 H 2 O across amnion/chorion/decidua in the fetal to maternal direction were 1.26±0.21 and 1.25±0.10× 10− 4 cm/second (N= 6) and in the maternal to fetal direction 0.90±0.07 and 0.98±0.15× 10− 4 cm/second (N= 5) in the absence or presence, respectively, of 10− 9 mol/L endothelin-1 in the fetal reservoir. Comparable values were found in either direction with 10− 9 mol/L endothelin-1 in the maternal reservoir. Apparent permeability coefficients for 125 I endothelin-1 in the fetal to maternal direction were 3.34±0.79 and 2.43±0.68× 10− 5 cm/second (N= 5) for amnion or amnion/chorion/decidua. However, appreciable trapping of 125 I endothelin-1 by the fetal membranes was apparent. Endothelin-1 does not appear to affect water movement across the human fetal membranes, and only a small proportion of endothelin-1 itself is transferred across the membranes.(Obstet Gynecol 1992; 79: 411-5)
