Disease relevance of Decidua

 

High impact information on Decidua

  • In addition, Hand1 is expressed in extraembryonic membranes, whereas Hand2 is expressed in the deciduum [6].
  • During early pregnancy, in response to the implanting embryo, the surrounding uterine stroma undergoes a dramatic transformation into a specialized tissue known as the decidua [7].
  • 1 alpha, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in vitro synthesis by human decidua and placenta [8].
  • Here we show that the receptor for the cytokine interleukin-11 (IL-11Ralpha) is required specifically for normal establishment of the decidua [9].
  • Implantation sites in mice lacking uNK cells (alymphoid recombinase activating gene [RAG]-2(-/)- common cytokine receptor chain gamma [gamma(c)](-/)-) or IFN-gamma signaling (IFN-gamma(-/)- or IFN-gammaRalpha(-/)-) fail to initiate normal pregnancy-induced modification of decidual arteries and display hypocellularity or necrosis of decidua [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Decidua

 

Biological context of Decidua

 

Anatomical context of Decidua

  • 5. However, the E4.5 beta 1-null embryos in situ had collapsed blastocoeles, and whereas the trophoblast penetrated the uterine epithelium, extensive invasion of the decidua was not observed [21].
  • (ii) The level of c-fos transcripts is greater than or equal to 15-fold higher in the separated outer portion of the midgestation placenta (primarily undifferentiated fetus-derived cytotrophoblast maternal decidua) relative to the inner moiety (predominantly differentiated syncytiotrophoblast) [22].
  • MHC class II-positive antigen-presenting cells in the decidua [23].
  • During the process of decidual neovascularization, uPA expression was detected in endothelial cell cords traversing the maternal decidua in the direction of the newly implanted embryo. uPA mRNA was not detected in endothelial cells upon completion of neovascularization, suggesting that uPA expression is a part of the angiogenic response [16].
  • Here we show that IL-6 mRNA is produced in vivo in two self-limiting physiologic angiogenic processes: (i) the formation of the vascular system accompanying development of ovarian follicles and (ii) the formation of a capillary network in the maternal decidua following embryonic implantation [24].
 

Associations of Decidua with chemical compounds

  • Using in situ hybridization, we show that VEGF is expressed in 10 different steroidogenic and/or steroid-responsive cell types (theca, cumulus, granulosa, lutein, oviductal epithelium, endometrial stroma, decidua, giant trophoblast cells, adrenal cortex, and Leydig cells) [25].
  • VEGF was predominantly produced in tissues that acquire new capillary networks (theca layers, lutein cells, endometrial stroma, and the maternal decidua, respectively) [25].
  • The constitutively high levels of MT mRNA in decidua were only slightly elevated following injection of cadmium (Cd) and/or zinc (Zn), whereas in placentae they increased several-fold [17].
  • The progesterone-induced signaling molecules that participate in the formation and function of decidua remain poorly understood [26].
  • The expression of alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein mRNA during rat development. High levels of expression in the decidua [27].
 

Gene context of Decidua

  • The placenta and the uterine decidua most abundantly expressed this cadherin [28].
  • The HLA-G gene is primarily expressed in placental cells that invade the maternal decidua during pregnancy [29].
  • In this study we analyze the chemokine receptor repertoire on various NK populations derived from the peripheral blood and decidua [30].
  • In vivo, at day 6.5 of mouse development, activin beta A RNA is detectable in the decidua and bone morphogenetic protein 4 RNA is detectable in the egg cylinder [31].
  • We show that CXCR4 and CXCR3 receptors are preferentially expressed on CD16- NK subsets derived either from the peripheral blood or the decidua and that these receptors are involved in migration of all NK subsets to their ligands [30].
