Histological study of granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells in beige (DA-bg/bg) rats.
To clarify the roles of granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells for successful pregnancy in rats, GMG cells in beige rats (genotype: DA-bg/bg), whose NK cells show lysosomal dysfunction because of abnormalities in cytoplasmic granules, were examined in mid- and late-pregnancy by light and electron microscopies. The GMG cells of beige rats were significantly less in number than those of the two con...
متن کاملPerforin-expressing granulated metrial gland cells in murine deciduoma
It has previously been shown that granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells of the pregnant uterus express abundant quantities of the lymphocyte pore-forming protein, perforin. No perforin was present before implantation of the embryo, but large numbers of perforin-producing GMG cells were observed after implantation, which coincides with decidualization of the uterus. The possible source of the act...
متن کاملA study of granulated metrial gland cells in the pregnant, alymphoplasia (aly/aly) mice.
During pregnancy, a population of uterine NK cells, commonly called granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells, differentiates in the uterus of both immune competent and various immunodeficient mice. Regulatory mechanisms controlling the differentiation of GMG cells are not fully known. It has been proven that GMG cells are derived from bone marrow, appear under the influences of progesterone and est...
متن کاملThe Involvement of Interleukin (IL)-15 in Regulating the Differentiation of Granulated Metrial Gland Cells in Mouse Pregnant Uterus
Previous studies have suggested that granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells are bone marrow-derived lymphoid cells, which differentiate in situ in the mouse pregnant uterus into natural killer (NK)-like cells. Similar to NK cells, GMG cells express an abundant level of cytolytic mediators such as perforin. The factor(s) regulating the differentiation of GMG cells remain(s) to be identified, altho...
متن کاملIs the metrial gland really a gland?
An intriguing history surrounds the ‘metrial gland’. It is a term coined by Selye and McKeown (1935) to describe a pregnancy-specific modification of the mesometrial uterus juxtaposed to the developing chorioallantoic placenta of the rat. Selye and McKeown were justifiably fascinated with the prominent secretory granules present within cells of the structure and were aware of the earlier specul...
