Abstract:
:This study examined the role of protein kinase C enzymatic activity as a physiologic determinant of stromal cell death in decidua basalis (DB) during pregnancy. The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) and Bcl2 was used as an indicator of stromal cell proliferation/survival, whereas Bax and the occurrence of apoptosis provided an index of cell death. Stromal cell cycle progression during pregnancy and after in vivo administration of phorbol esters was analyzed by flow cytometry. DB were isolated from pregnant rats between Days 8 and 21 of pregnancy and prepared for immunohistochemistry, Western blotting procedures, or flow cytometry. The results showed that stromal cells were actively proliferating on Days 8 and 10, whereas the frequency of cell death by apoptosis increased progressively between Days 14 and 21 (Day 22 is term). The proliferative stage was characterized by low PKC activity and high levels of EGF-R and Bcl2 expression. On the other hand, DB regression (Days 14-21) was marked by an elevation in endogenous PKC activity and Bax expression; EGF-R and Bcl2 were suppressed. Administration of phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (0.4 micromole/kg) induced apoptosis on Day 10. Additionally, antiprogestin (RU-486) given on Day 9 induced PKC activity and Bax expression within 6 h and suppressed Bcl2 and EGF-R. By 12 h, RU-486 enhanced percent apoptotic cells. Thus, enhanced levels of PKC activity were closely linked to stromal cell apoptosis.
