Protein kinase C isoforms during the development of deciduomata in pregnant rats.

Abstract:

:In this study, we determined the expression of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms during pregnancy. At pregnant duration, PKC alpha was down-modulated in the deciduomata but not in the myometrium. Down-modulation was compatible with the increase in cell mitosis, which reached a maximum at 8-9 days. On the other hand, PKC zeta was not down-modulated. It was increased both in the cytosolic and particulate fractions of the deciduomata, and paralleled the frequency of decidual cell mitosis. The other PKC isoform of delta was also increased, but it was associated with the cell regression. Therefore, these findings confirmed that the variable expression of PKC isoforms in decidualizing tissue may be involved in the modulation of decidual cell growth.
