Growth factor effects on endometrial epithelial cell differentiation and protein synthesis in vitro.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To develop a baseline for projected studies of a rat endometriosis model. DESIGN:We investigated the effects of two macrophage-related growth factors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), on proliferation, in vitro differentiation, and protein secretion of uterine epithelial cells from immature rats. Uterine epithelial cells grown on matrix covered filters were treated with growth factors (GFs) or estrogen and/or P. Incorporation of [35S]methionine by polarized uterine epithelial cell proteins and secretion of labeled proteins into apical and basal culture medium were examined. SETTING:Department of Cell Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell associated and secreted proteins were resolved by gel electrophoresis, fluorography, and immunoblotting. Proliferation was quantified by cell counts in parallel cultures by hemocytometer. RESULTS:Estrogen and P increase protein synthesis by uterine epithelium. Transforming growth factor-beta depressed protein synthesis and secretion in uterine epithelial cells. Platelet-derived growth factor appears to have no effect on epithelial protein synthesis or secretion and does not modulate the effect of TGF-beta. Estrogen and P increase complement component 3 (C3) production by epithelial cells. CONCLUSION:Macrophage-secreted GFs may play a role in the development and maintenance of ectopic endometrial tissue. Both TGF-beta and ovarian steroids may participate in the dynamic regulation of protein synthesis by ectopic uterine epithelium. These molecules may indirectly affect the macrophage-stromal axis through nonspecific modulation of C3 secretion. Platelet-derived growth factor appears to have no direct effect on uterine epithelial cells. The recognized effect of PDGF on ectopic endometrial tissue is most likely mediated via the stromal component.
