Abstract:
:While uterine stromal cells (USC) appear to modify the function of uterine epithelial cells (UEC) under certain conditions in vivo, relatively little is known about the effect of epithelial cells on stromal cell differentiation and function. To determine if UEC modulate USC function in vitro, highly enriched (> 95%) cultures of polarized UEC were first cultured on Matrigel-coated filters in serum-free medium until confluent, then cocultured with USC for up to 120 h. Subsequently, while maintaining both cell types in physically separate compartments, filters containing UEC were removed, and USC phenotypic markers assayed. Coculture with UEC did not affect the expression of two markers of USC differentiation (desmin and laminin), USC DNA content, [35S]methionine uptake, or total protein synthesis or secretion. However, coculture of USC with UEC or medium conditioned by UEC induced the secretion of a 30-kilodalton protein (p30) from USC as early as 24 h of coculture and through 120 h of coculture. In addition, secretion of a 60-kilodalton protein by USC was frequently observed in response to coculture with UEC. Neither the hormonal stage from which uterine cells were recovered, nor the addition of exogenous progesterone or estradiol modulated UEC-induced p30 secretion. Several purified growth factors (transforming growth factor-beta, epidermal growth factor, interleukin-1 alpha, and fibroblast growth factor) added to the serum-free culture medium failed to induce p30 secretion by USC. The p30-inducing activity in UEC-conditioned medium could not be abolished by either heat or trypsin treatment, suggesting that it is not a protein. Purified prostaglandin E2 or F2 alpha or platelet-activating factor did not induce p30 secretion by isolated USC. Of several epithelial and fibroblastic cell lines tested, UEC and a human uterine adenocarcinoma cell line (RL95-2) were the most effective in inducing p30 secretion by USC. Moreover, UEC also were able to modulate protein secretion by nonuterine murine fibroblast cell lines. Collectively, these data demonstrate that UEC can modulate USC function in vitro via a soluble factor(s).
