双炔失碳酯对兔移植胚泡着床的影响

本文用胚泡移植技术验证了双炔失碳酯对子宫内膜的影响是胚泡不能着床的重要原因。将 29只胚龄4d的兔胚泡移植到给药后假孕4d的子宫,结果没有一只胚泡着床;而对照组的5只受卵兔,移植了41只胚泡,有26只着床成功。 为了了解双炔失碳酯对黄体的影响,在5只妊娠兔上,从交配后1—7d与对照组比较血清孕酮浓度的变化,结果表明:对照组的血清孕酮浓度随着妊娠天数显著升高,妊娠第7天时达 17.35±2.12ng/ml,而给药组升高不明显,第7天仅 1.83±1.03ng/ml,为对照组的1/9。已知足够的孕酮浓度对妊娠的维持和胚泡的成功着床具有十分重要的作用。由此推测,双炔失碳酯抑制孕酮的分泌势必影响子宫内膜的发育,从而阻碍胚泡的着床。     

Sialyl-Lewis x and Sialyl-Lewis a are associated with MUC1 in human endometrium

Endometrial epithelial cells express MUC1 with increased abundance in the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, when embryo implantation occurs. MUC1 is associated with the apical surface of epithelial cells and is also secreted, being detectable in uterine fluid at elevated levels in the implantation phase. However, its physiological role is uncertain; it may either inhibit intercellular adhesion by steric hindrance or carry carbohydrate recognition structures capable of mediating cell-cell interaction. Here we show that endometrial epithelium expresses both Sialyl-Lewis x (SLe^x) and Sialyl-Lewis a (SLe^a), with a distribution and pattern of menstrual cycle regulation similar to that of MUC1. Using Western blotting and double determinant ELISA of uterine flushings, we demonstrate that SLe^x is associated with MUC1 core protein. The endometrial carcinoma cell lines HEC1A and HEC1B are shown to express MUC1 in a mosaic pattern, while three other cell lines express much lower amounts. HEC1A expresses both SLe^x and SLe^a while HEC1B expresses SLe^a only. Immunoprecipitation has been used to demonstrate that SLe^a is associated with MUC1 in HEC1B cells, and both SLe^x and SLe^a are associated with MUC1 in HEC1A cells.     

去卵巢大鼠Ru 486与垂体及子宫内膜孕激素受体结合的比较

经雌激素诱发的去卵巢大鼠在肌肉注射不同量的 Ru486(0.1mg/kg—2mg/kg)之后,垂体及子宫内膜的胞液游离孕激素受体结合位点随着 Ru486注射量的升高而逐步下降。注射 Ru486 2mg/kg 30min 后,此两组织中孕激素受体的结合位点就明显降低,2h 降到最低点,3h 开始恢复。以上实验说明 Ru486进入机体即可分别占领垂体及子宫内膜的孕激素受体的结合位点。然而 Ru486对此二组织的孕激素受体的结合作用并不完全相同,似乎子宫孕激素受体更易为 Ru486所占位,而解离也快。

The influence of ovarian steroids on ovine endometrial glycosaminoglycans

The ovine endometrium is subjected to cyclic oscillations of estrogen and progesterone in preparation for implantation. One response to fluctuating hormonal levels is the degree of hydration of the tissue, suggesting cyclical alterations in glycosaminoglycan/proteoglycan content. The aim of the present study was to quantitate and characterize glycosaminoglycans in the ovine endometrium during estrogen and progesterone dominant stages. Endogenous endometrial glycosaminoglycan content was determined by chemical analysis and characterized by enzyme specific or chemical degradation. [(35)S]-sulphate and [(3)H]-glucosamine labeled proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans were extracted by cell lysis or with 4M guanidine-HCl. Extracts were purified by anion exchange and gel chromatography and characterized as above. Estrogen and progesterone dominant endometrium contained 3.2 +/- 0.1 and 2.1 +/- 0.1 mg endogenous glycosaminoglycan/g dehydrated tissue, respectively. Characterization of endogenous glycosaminoglycan showed chondroitin sulphate and hyaluronan contributing over 80%. The major difference between hormonal dominant tissue was a higher estrogenic hyaluronan percentage and a higher progestational keratan sulphate percentage (p < 0.001). Estrogen dominant tissue incorporated 1.6-1.9 fold more radiolabeled proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans (p < 0.001). Analysis of newly synthesized proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans revealed a heparan/chondroitin sulphate ratio of 1:2.2-2.5. Keratan sulphate was not detected. Estrogenic hyaluronan was 1.6 fold greater in [(3)H]-labeled tissue. Analysis of labeled proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans revealed two size classes with apparent molecular weights >2.0 x 10(6) and 0.8-1.1 x 10(5) and a charge class eluting between 0.1-0.5 M NaCl. The greater glycosaminoglycan content (particularly hyaluronan) and synthesis in estrogen dominant tissue supports a role for steroid hormones in endometrial glycosaminoglycan/proteoglycan regulation and consequent tissue hydration. It also suggests a role for these macromolecules in endometrial function and possibly the implantation process.

Progesterone signals through membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) in MDA-MB-468 and mPR-transfected MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells which lack full-length and N-terminally truncated isoforms of the nuclear progesterone receptor

The functional characteristics of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) have been investigated using recombinant mPR proteins over-expressed in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Although these cells do not express the full-length progesterone receptor (PR), it is not known whether they express N-terminally truncated PR isoforms which could possibly account for some progesterone receptor functions attributed to mPRs. In the present study, the presence of N-terminally truncated PR isoforms was investigated in untransfected and mPR-transfected MDA-MB-231 cells, and in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells. PCR products were detected in PR-positive T47D Yb breast cancer cells using two sets of C-terminus PR primers, but not in untransfected and mPR-transfected MDA-MB-231 cells, nor in MDA-MB-468 cells. Western blot analysis using a C-terminal PR antibody, 2C11F1, showed the same distribution pattern for PR in these cell lines. Another C-terminal PR antibody, C-19, detected immunoreactive bands in all the cell lines, but also recognized α-actinin, indicating that the antibody is not specific for PR. High affinity progesterone receptor binding was identified on plasma membranes of MDA-MB-468 cells which was significantly decreased after treatment with siRNAs for mPRα and mPRβ. Plasma membranes of MDA-MB-468 cells showed very low binding affinity for the PR agonist, R5020, ≤1% that of progesterone, which is characteristic of mPRs. Progesterone treatment caused G protein activation and decreased production of cAMP in MDA-MB-468 cells, which is also characteristic of mPRs. The results indicate that the progestin receptor functions in these cell lines are mediated through mPRs and do not involve any N-terminally truncated PR isoforms.     

半夏蛋白的抗兔胚泡着床作用

半夏蛋白有很强的抗兔胚泡着床作用,子宫内注射500μg,抗着床率达100%。经半夏蛋白作用后的子宫内膜能使被移植的正常胚泡不着床。在子宫内经半夏蛋白孵育的胚泡移植到同步的假孕子宫,着床率随孵育时间延长而降低。用辣根过氧化物酶标记半夏蛋白的定位实验表明该蛋白结合在子宫内膜腺管的上皮细胞膜上。已知半夏蛋白有类似凝集素的活性,能与甘露聚糖结合,它的抗着床作用可能是由于该蛋白结合了母体和(或)子体细胞膜上的某些糖结构,改变了细胞膜的生物学行为所致。
