Labor-Associated Gene Expression in the Human Uterine Fundus, Lower Segment, and Cervix
BACKGROUND Preterm labor, failure to progress, and postpartum hemorrhage are the common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality or morbidity. All result from defects in the complex mechanisms controlling labor, which coordinate changes in the uterine fundus, lower segment, and cervix. We aimed to assess labor-associated gene expression profiles in these functionally distinct areas of the huma...
متن کاملTenascin in human papillomavirus associated lesions of the uterine cervix.
The immunohistochemical expression of tenascin was studied in 80 morphologically diagnosed condylomas and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions. The results were compared with the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA subtype, which was determined by HPV dot blot and in situ hybridisation. Tenascin mRNA synthesis was also determined in 10 selected cases by in situ hybridisation. No statisti...
متن کاملCharacterization of the concentration gradient of prostaglandin H synthase 2 mRNA throughout the pregnant baboon uterus.
The present study was designed to determine the effect of the spatial gradient from the cervix to the uterine fundus on the control of local prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) 2 mRNA expression. We performed total cesarean hysterectomies during the last trimester in 12 pregnant baboons, 7 not in labor and 5 in labor, and examined PGHS2 mRNA expression throughout the uterus. PGHS2 mRNA abundance wa...
متن کاملCytokeratin expression in squamous metaplasia of the human uterine cervix.
The expression of cytokeratin polypeptides in squamous metaplasia of the human uterine cervix was investigated by immunocytochemical labeling with polypeptide-specific antibodies against cytokeratins. Immunofluorescence microscopic examination of cervical tissues using various monoclonal antibodies indicated that squamous cervical metaplasia expresses a unique set of cytokeratin polypeptides, t...
متن کاملProgesterone receptor in the human uterine cervix.
A progesterone receptor (PR) in human uterine cervical nuclei was demonstrated by a nuclear exchange assay using a synthetic progestin, promegestone (R5020) as a radio-labeled ligand. Total exchange of previously bound progesterone with R5020 was achieved by incubation at 0 degree C for 3 h. A 0.6 M KCl solution was used to extract the nuclear PR in uterine cervical tissue, and the dextran coat...
