Gene expression profiling of ovaries collected from mice treated with or without Ulipristal


ABSTRACT: Ulipristal acetate (UPA), also referred to as VA/CDB-2914, is a new and promising emergency contraceptive. It is a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) that has been approved in Europe and the USA for emergency contraception. To experimentally induce ovulation, the immature CD-1 mice (24–28 d old) were injected ip with 5 IU of PMSG and 48 h later by 5 IU of hCG. Two hour after hCG treatment, mice were administered with UPA/CDB or vehicle/OIL. Ovaries were collected at 11 h and total RNA was analyzed using Affymetrix mouse arrays

Ulipristal acetate (UPA), a progesterone receptor (PR) modulator, is used as an emergency contraceptive in women. Here, using a mouse model, we investigated the mechanism of action of UPA as an ovulation blocker. In mice, ovulation is induced ~12 hours following the treatment with exogenous gonadotropins, including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH). When administered within 6 hours of hCG treatment, UPA is a potent blocker of ovulation. Howev  ...[more]
