Differential expression and regulation of nuclear oligomerization domain proteins NOD1 and NOD2 in human endometrium: a potential role in innate immune protection and menstruation.

Abstract:

:Nuclear oligomerization domains (NODs) are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), present in epithelial cells, monocytes and dendritic cells. This study details their expression, regulation and role in human endometrium. Real-time PCR showed that NOD1 mRNA is constitutively expressed in endometrium. NOD2 is up-regulated in the late secretory phase of the menstrual cycle suggesting a role in menstruation. Both proteins are immunolocalized in endometrial epithelium, stroma and endothelium. In first trimester, decidua NODs are present in decidualized stroma. NOD function was examined in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EEpCs) in vitro. IkappaBalpha is up-regulated by stimulation of ESC and EEpC with an NOD1 ligand. IkappaBalpha, IL-8 and TNFalpha mRNA expression is increased in EEpC by a NOD2 ligand. NOD2 mRNA expression increases in response to IL-1 treatment while NOD1 transcripts are unaltered. NOD1 mRNA is increased in an in vitro model of decidualization of ESC. In summary, we report expression of NOD1 and NOD2 in human endometrium and show that they are differentially regulated. NOD2 and, to a lesser extent, NOD1 can function to increase expression of innate immune molecules in endometrium. NODs may have a role in innate immune protection in the uterus and NOD2 may regulate inflammation associated with menstruation.
