Previously we demonstrated anthrax toxin receptor 2 knockout (Antxr2−/−) mice are fertile but fail to deliver their pups at term. This parturition defect is associated with over-accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and decreased myometrial cell content in the uterus. Myometrial cell loss in Antxr2−/− uterine tissue prompted us to evaluate if ANTXR2 is essential for human uterine smooth muscle cell (HUSMC) viability and function. We subjected HUSMC to lentiviral-mediated knock down (R2KD) or retroviral-mediated over-expression (R2OE) of ANTXR2. Flow cytometry confirmed R2KD or R2OE in cell lines vs control (CTL). Cell behavior and function in CTL, R2KD and R2OE cells were evaluated for apoptosis via TUNEL assay, migration via Boyden chamber assay and with oxytocin-mediated collagen contraction assays. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity was evaluated using gelatin zymography. Cell lines and samples were run in duplicate. Student t-test was used for statistical analysis. ANTXR2 is expressed by HUSMC. HUMSC-R2KD cells exhibited increased apoptosis (p<0.05) and decreased migration (p<0.05) while HUSMC-R2OE cells exhibited no change in apoptosis (p=0.91) and increased migration (p=0.05) vs CTL. HUMSC-R2KD cells contracted significantly less than CTL while HUSMC-R2OE cells showed no difference in contractility vs CTL. MMP2 activity appeared slightly decreased in HUMSC-R2KD cells and increased in HUSMC-R2OE cells vs CTL. ANTXR2 is expressed by HUSMC and appears important for normal HUSMC viability, migration and contractility. Further studies are needed to delineate if ANTXR2 is important for normal and abnormal labor patterns.
