miRNA-181 regulates embryo implantation in mice through targeting leukemia inhibitory factor.
Embryo implantation is a crucial step in mammalian reproduction. However, little is known regarding the physiological roles of microRNAs in the regulation of embryo implantation. Here we show that a minimum uterine expression of miR-181 is essential for the onset of embryo implantation. Both transient and prolonged transgenic expression of miR-181 led to impaired implantation, which can be resc...
متن کاملLeukemia Inhibitory Factor: Roles in Embryo Implantation and in Nonhormonal Contraception
Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) plays an indispensible role in embryo implantation. Aberrant LIF production is linked to implantation failure. LIF regulates multiple processes prior to and during implantation such as uterine transformation into a receptive state, decidualization, blastocyst growth and development, embryo-endometrial interaction, trophoblast invasion, and immune modulation. Du...
متن کاملLeukemia inhibitory factor regulates microvessel density by modulating oxygen-dependent VEGF expression in mice.
To meet tissue requirements for oxygen, capillaries must be properly distributed without excess or shortage. In this process, tissue oxygen concentration is well known to determine capillary density via the hypoxia-induced cascade, in which HIFs and VEGF play key roles. However, some additional mechanisms modulating this cascade are suggested to be involved in precise capillary network formatio...
متن کاملLeukemia inhibitory factor reduces body fat mass in ovariectomized mice.
OBJECTIVE Ovariectomized (OVX) mice are known to gain body fat while exposure to estrogens decreases fat mass. We have previously shown that estrogen replacement therapy enhances the expression of receptors for the cytokine, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). LIF and other cytokines acting via the gp130 signal transducing receptor have been reported to decrease obesity. In the present study, we ...
متن کاملActivating transcription factor 3 promotes embryo attachment via up-regulation of leukemia inhibitory factor in vitro
BACKGROUND A receptive endometrium is essential for maternal-embryonic molecular communication during implantation. However, the specific molecular regulatory mechanisms of the endometrial capacity remain poorly understood. Here, we examined activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) expression in human endometria and the functional effect of ATF3 on embryo attachment in vitro. METHODS Immunohi...
