TGFβ superfamily signaling and uterine decidualization
Decidualization is an intricate biological process where extensive morphological, functional, and genetic changes take place in endometrial stromal cells to support the development of an implanting blastocyst. Deficiencies in decidualization are associated with pregnancy complications and reproductive diseases. Decidualization is coordinately regulated by steroid hormones, growth factors, and m...
متن کاملMechanisms of reduced fertility in Hoxa-10 mutant mice: uterine homeosis and loss of maternal Hoxa-10 expression.
The establishment of a receptive uterine environment is critical for embryonic survival and implantation. One gene that is expressed in the uterus during the peri-implantation period in mice and is required for female fertility is the homeobox gene Hoxa-10. Here we characterize the peri-implantation defects in Hoxa-10 mutant females and investigate functions of Hoxa-10 in the uterine anlage dur...
متن کاملPolycomb repressive complex 1 controls uterine decidualization
Uterine stromal cell decidualization is an essential part of the reproductive process. Decidual tissue development requires a highly regulated control of the extracellular tissue remodeling; however the mechanism of this regulation remains unknown. Through systematic expression studies, we detected that Cbx4/2, Rybp, and Ring1B [components of polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1)] are predominan...
متن کاملExpression of HOXA-10 and HOXA-11 in the endometria of women with idiopathic infertility.
In fertile women, HOXA-10 and HOXA-11 expression rises during the luteal phase, with the peak occurring during the implantation window, and stays at a high level until the end of the cycle. We evaluated the transcript and protein levels of HOXA-10 and HOXA-11 in the endometria of patients with idiopathic infertility (n = 15) and control patients (n = 10). The amounts of mRNA were determined by ...
متن کاملMolecular Signaling in Tumorigenesis of Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is regarded as the fifth most common cancer and the third cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Mechanism of GC pathogenesis is still unclear and relies on multiple factors, including environmental and genetic characteristics. One of the most important environmental factors of GC occurrence is infection with Helicobacter pylori that is classified as class one carcinogens...
