Increasing evidence suggests that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is produced in the uterine endometrium and that it plays an important role in the reproductive process. In the present study, using an in vitro decidualization model and human endometrium, we investigated M-CSF messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in human endometrial stromal cells (ESC) by Northern blotting and in situ hybridization. The secreted M-CSF in the culture medium of ESC was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ESC were cultured in the presence of progesterone (P) or estrogen. After a 9-day culture with P, when in vitro decidualization was confirmed by the production of PRL, M-CSF mRNA and protein levels were 3.1 +/- 0.5- and 3.2 +/- 0.8-fold (mean +/- SEM) higher, respectively, than those in cultures without P (P < 0.01). The P-induced increase was dose dependent. On the other hand, estrogen did not increase M-CSF mRNA expression. M-CSF mRNA expression in the first trimester deciduae that expressed PRL mRNA was higher than that in the endometria. By in situ hybridization, ESC as well as epithelial cells were shown to express M-CSF both in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that human ESC (decidua cells) express M-CSF mRNA and suggest that they secrete M-CSF in a P-dependent manner during the process of decidualization.

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.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

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
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
