Decidual macrophages (dMΦ) are distinct from the conventional present in other tissues and express M2 macrophage markers, but molecular mechanisms of formation roles MΦ during pregnancy have not been completely elucidated. The crosstalk between decidual natural killer cells (dNK) dMΦ plays an important role maintenance maternal–fetal immune tolerance. Here, CXCL16 derived first-trimester trophoblast induces polarization human macrophages. polarized by exhibit decreased interleukin-15...

Excessive estrogen exposure is an important pathogenic factor in uterine endometrial cancer (UEC). Recent studies have reported the metabolic properties can influence progression of UEC. However, underlying mechanisms not been fully elucidated. Glutaminase (GLS), MYC and autophagy levels were detected. The biological functions estrogen-MYC-GLS UEC cells (UECC) investigated both vivo vitro. Our study showed that remarkably increased GLS level through up-regulating c-Myc, enhanced glutamine...

Abstract Decidual macrophages (dM ϕ ) contribute to maternal–fetal tolerance. However, the mechanism of dM differentiation during pregnancy is still largely unknown. Here, we report that receptor activator for nuclear factor- κ B ligand (RANKL), secreted by human embryonic trophoblasts and maternal decidual stromal cells (DSCs), polarizes toward a M2 phenotype. This polarization mediated through activation Akt/signal transducer transcription 6 (STAT6) signaling, which associated with...

Decidualization is an intricate biological process in which extensive remodeling of the endometrium occurs to support development implanting blastocyst. However, immunometabolic mechanisms underlying this are still largely unknown. We found that decidualization accompanied by accumulation fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP). The combination FBP with pyruvate kinase M stimulated IL-27 secretion endometrial stromal cells ERK/c-FOS-dependent manner. induced decidual COX-2+ M2-like macrophage...

Decidualization refers to the process of transformation endometrial stromal fibroblast cells into specialized decidual that provide a nutritive and immunoprivileged matrix essential for blastocyst implantation placental development. Deficiencies in decidualization are associated with variety pregnancy disorders, including female infertility, recurrent failure (RIF), miscarriages. Despite increasing number genes reportedly receptivity decidualization, cellular molecular mechanisms triggering...
