The possibility that the increased endometrial vascular permeability which precedes the decidual cell reaction is mediated by prostaglandin I2 rather than prostaglandin E2 was investigated in rats. Immature rats were pretreated with hormones so that at the time of uterine stimulation they were sensitized for the decidual cell reaction. To determine if a deciduogenic stimulus resulted in increased uterine prostaglandin I2, rats received a unilateral intrauterine injection of 50 μl phosphate bufferedsaline containing gelatin, and were killed at varying times thereafter. As determined by radioimmunoassay, the levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α were elevated in the injected uterine horns compared to the noninjectea horns 30 min, 2 h and 8 h after injection, suggesting that uterine production of prostaglandin I2 had beenstimulated. Prostaglandin E levels were also elevated in the injected horns. To determine if prostaglandin I2 was able to increase endometrial vascular permeability when given into the uterus, rats treated with indomethacin to inhibit endogenous prostaglandin synthesis received a unilateral intrauterine injection of either vehicle (50 μl 0.01M Tris, 0.145 M NaCl, pH 9.0), 50 μg prostaglandin I2 or 50 μg prostaglandin E2. The alkaline pH was used in an attempt to reduce the breakdown of prostaglandin I2. Endometrial vascular permeability indices (ratios of the concentrations of radioactivity in the injected to noninjected uterine horns 15 min after an intravenous injection of 125I-labelled bovine serum albumin) were determined 4 or 8 h later. Prostaglandin I2 had no significant effect on the indices at either time of sacrifice, whereas prostaglandin E2 significantly increased the indices. Prostaglandin I2,did not interact significantly with prostaglandin E2. The inability of prostaglandin 12 to alter endometrial vascular permeability suggests that it does not mediate the increase in permeability which results from a deciduogenic stimulus. However, because of the instability of prostaglandin I2 at neutral pH, this possible role for prostaglandin I2 cannot be eliminated.
