Blastocyst implantation is dependent on the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells (ESC) into decidual cells. Decidualization of human ESC in vitro is enhanced by interleukin 11 (IL11), with associated changes in gene expression. Genes downstream of IL11 may provide targets for the treatment of implantation failure or the development of non-hormonal contraceptives. This study aimed to examine the effect of IL11 on interleukin 1 beta (IL1B) mRNA and protein expression during in vitro decidualization of ESC. Cells were decidualized with 17beta-estradiol and medroxyprogesterone acetate in the presence or absence of exogenous IL11, and IL1B mRNA was quantified by real-time RT-PCR. Inactive proIL1B and bioactive IL1B in cell lysates and conditioned media were measured using specific immunoassays. Secretion of bioactive IL1B from decidualizing ESC was investigated by in vitro stimulation of decidualizing cells with lipopolysaccharide, interferon gamma or human chorionic gonadotropin. Immunohistochemistry was carried out on cycling and pregnant decidua using an antibody specific for bioactive IL1B. Exogenous IL11 increased by 28-fold the abundance of IL1B mRNA in decidualizing ESC, and total immunoreactive IL1B was also increased. However, this was not reflected in bioactive IL1B secretion from these cells, and none of the tested stimuli were able to induce its release. Bioactive IL1B was detected in vivo at very low levels and at discrete foci in late secretory phase and first trimester decidua. This regulation of latent and bioactive IL1B at the fetal-maternal interface may prime decidual cells to respond rapidly to immunological challenge or to signals from the blastocyst during implantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D003656 Decidua The hormone-responsive glandular layer of ENDOMETRIUM that sloughs off at each menstrual flow (decidua menstrualis) or at the termination of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the thickest part of the decidua forms the maternal portion of the PLACENTA, thus named decidua placentalis. The thin portion of the decidua covering the rest of the embryo is the decidua capsularis. Deciduum,Deciduas
D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
D005260 Female Females
D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
