Endometrial stromal differentiation (decidualization) is essential for implantation of the developing blastocyst. To investigate the process of progesterone (P)-induced decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESC), a complementary DNA library enriched with P-induced genes was constructed from cultured human ESC by subtractive hybridization and the polymerase chain reaction. One of the isolated clones was the complementary DNA for the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3), a recently identified member of the human TIMP family. When human ESC were cultured in the presence of P for 6 days, the induction of TIMP-3 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was observed by Northern blotting. In contrast, the marked induction of PRL mRNA expression and morphological changes were observed after 9 days of culture. P-induced TIMP-3 mRNA expression was dose dependent, and this induction was inhibited by the antiprogestin RU486. Estrogen did not induce TIMP-3 mRNA expression under similar conditions. In situ hybridization analysis of endometria from nonpregnant women revealed that the TIMP-3 mRNA expression was restricted to predecidualized stromal cells. At the feto-maternal interface, TIMP-3 expression was observed in fetal extravillous trophoblasts that had invaded the maternal decidual tissues as well as in the maternal decidual cells. These findings suggest that TIMP-3 is a sensitive indicator of ESC decidualization, and that the induction of TIMP-3 expression in decidual cells and trophoblasts may be important in the regulation of trophoblast invasion.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

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
D006727 Hormone Antagonists Chemical substances which inhibit the function of the endocrine glands, the biosynthesis of their secreted hormones, or the action of hormones upon their specific sites. Antagonists, Hormone
