Abstract：
:Previous studies have shown that the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) is produced by rat uterine epithelial cells both in vivo and vitro. The expression of the pIgR is regulated by sex hormones and/or cytokines at mucosal sites, however the mechanism of regulation in the uterus is not clear. In these studies, co-culture of stromal cells from mature rat uteri with uterine epithelial cells decreased epithelial cell pIgR production. Conditioned supernatants from stromal cells incubated with epithelial cells also decreased pIgR production. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed that expression of pIgR on uterine epithelial cells decreased in the presence of stromal cells. Viability of epithelial cells was sustained during these experiments, as evidenced by the maintenance of high transepithelial resistance. These studies are the first report of stromal cell regulation of pIgR production by epithelial cells at any site in the body and suggest that stromal cells can provide a signal that leads to the regulation of pIgR production.
