| Research Abstract |
Major part of molecular mechanism(s) of human implantation still remains unclear. Human uterine endometrium repeats breakdown, proliferation and differentiation for preparation of pregnancy in reproductive menstrual cycle. We have reported that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI)can differentiate human endometrial epithelial and stromal cells without assistance by ovarian steroid hormones. To develop new strategy of treatment for fertile women, we analyzed whether HDACI can affect not only differentiation but also proliferation, motility and adhesion of endometrial epithelial cells during implantation.
In this study, we demonstrated the following phenomenon using in vitro model by model of human endometrial epithelial cells (Ishikawa cells) and embryonal cells (JAR cells).
By treatment of ovarian steroid hormones (17beta-estradol + progesterone) or HDACI
1. Ishikawa cell proliferation was down-regulated by cell-cycle arrest at G1/S check point or induced cell apoptosis.
2. Ishikawa cell motility was up-regulated in both single and collective cell migration assay.
3. Adhesion between Ishikawa cells and JAR spheroids were significantly enhanced.
Moreover, these results were
4. showed in a HDACI-dose dependent manner.
5. required for glycodelin induction.
Taken together, glycodelin induced by ovarian steroid hormones or HDACI can help for implantation rate through positive effect to differentiation, proliferation, motility, and adhesion. It is suggested that HDACI have a potential as a implantation-assisted reagent instead of hormonal reagents for fertile women.
