Diverse Roles of Prostaglandins in Blastocyst Implantation
Prostaglandins (PGs), derivatives of arachidonic acid, play an indispensable role in embryo implantation. PGs have been reported to participate in the increase in vascular permeability, stromal decidualization, blastocyst growth and development, leukocyte recruitment, embryo transport, trophoblast invasion, and extracellular matrix remodeling during implantation. Deranged PGs syntheses and acti...
متن کاملChitin Is Endogenously Produced in Vertebrates
Chitin, a biopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is abundant in invertebrates and fungi and is an important structural molecule [1, 2]. There has been a longstanding belief that vertebrates do not produce chitin; however, we have obtained compelling evidence to the contrary. Chitin synthase genes are present in numerous fishes and amphibians, and chitin is localized in situ to the lumen of the deve...
متن کاملProstaglandins and the initiation of blastocyst implantation and decidualization.
The process of blastocyst implantation in mammals is remarkably variable, especially in the extent of trophoblast invasion of the endometrium. In most species studied, the earliest macroscopically identifiable sign of blastocyst implantation is an increase in endometrial vascular permeability in areas adjacent to the blastocysts. This is followed in species with invasive implantation by decidua...
متن کاملInhibition of cellular respiration by endogenously produced carbon monoxide.
Endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) interacts with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, leading to inhibition of cellular respiration. This interaction has been shown to have important physiological and pathophysiological consequences. Exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) is also known to inhibit cytochrome c oxidase in vitro; however, it is not clear whether endogenously produced CO can inhibit c...
متن کاملDendritic cell reprogramming by endogenously produced lactic acid.
The demand for controlling T cell responses via dendritic cell (DC) vaccines initiated a quest for reliable and feasible DC modulatory strategies that would facilitate cytotoxicity against tumors or tolerance in autoimmunity. We studied endogenous mechanisms in developing monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) that can induce inflammatory or suppressor programs during differentiation, and we identified a...
