项目摘要

Uterine stromal cell decidualization is integral to successful embryo implantation which is gateway to pregnancy establishment. This process is characterized by stromal cell proliferation and differentiation into decidual cells with polyploidy. Although various signaling molecules including cyclin D3 (a cell cycle regulator), HB-EGF (a heparinbinding EGF-like growth factor) and Hoxa-10 (a homeotic protein) are implicated in decidualization, the precise mechanisms by which these factors regulate this process and whether they are critical to decidualization are not known, except the essential role of Hoxa-10 in this process. We hypothesize that the success of decidualization is dependent on a balance between positive and negative regulators, directing proliferation and differentiation essential to this process; a tipping of this balance will lead to defective decidualization. We propose that Hoxa-10 and HB-EGF signaling converge to a common downstream cell cycle regulatory circuitry consisting of a positive cell cycle regulator cyclin D3 and negative cell cycle regulator cyclin G1 to appropriately balance proliferation and differentiation for achieving full complement of decidualization.

子宫基质细胞蜕膜化是成功胚胎植入的组成部分，这是妊娠建立的途径。该过程的特征是基质细胞增殖并分化为多倍体的蜕膜细胞。尽管包括细胞周期蛋白 D3（一种细胞周期调节剂）、HB-EGF（一种肝素结合 EGF 样生长因子）和 Hoxa-10（一种同源异型蛋白）在内的各种信号分子都与蜕膜化有关，但这些因子调节这一过程的精确机制除了 Hoxa-10 在此过程中的重要作用外，它们是否对蜕膜化至关重要尚不清楚。我们假设蜕膜化的成功取决于正负调节因子之间的平衡，指导增殖和分化对于这一过程至关重要；这种平衡的倾斜将导致蜕膜化有缺陷。我们建议 Hoxa-10 和 HB-EGF 信号汇聚到一个共同的下游细胞周期调节电路，该电路由正细胞周期调节剂细胞周期蛋白 D3 和负细胞周期调节剂细胞周期蛋白 G1 组成，以适当平衡增殖和分化，从而实现完整的蜕膜化。
