OBJECTIVE: To determine whether 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHPC) alters tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production and the expression of cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) in myometrium exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
STUDY DESIGN: Lower segment myometrial biopsies were obtained from non-laboring patients at term. Tissues were cultured in serum-free media with 17-OHPC (1 microM) and LPS (1 microg/ml), either alone or in combination. At 24 h, the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and the expression of COX-2 was determined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and real-time (RT-PCR). Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric testing. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant.
RESULT: 17-OHPC had no effect on TNF-alpha production and COX-2 expression when compared with untreated myometrial explants (P=0.61 and P=0.95). LPS induced production of TNF-alpha (P=0.03) and expression of COX-2 (P=0.02). Treatment with 17-OHPC did not block LPS-induced TNF-alpha production (P=0.37) or COX-2 expression (P=0.12).
CONCLUSION: In this pilot study, 17-OHPC did not affect the production of TNF-alpha or COX-2 expression in human myometrium.
