Cell-type-specific expression of transforming growth factor-alpha in the mouse uterus during the peri-implantation period

Immunohistochemistry as well as in situ and Northern blot hybridization were employed to determine temporal and cell-type-specific expression of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) in the mouse uterus during the peri-implantation period. The co-localization of TGF-alpha (by immunohistochemistry) with its mRNA (by in situ hybridization) in the luminal and glandular epithelia on Days 1-4 of pregnancy (Day 1 = vaginal plug) and also in many stromal cells on Days 3 and 4 indicates that these cells are the primary sites of TGF-alpha synthesis during the preimplantation period. The higher levels of TGF-alpha mRNA in total uterine RNA on Day 4, as shown by Northern blotting, is consistent with the recruitment of stromal cells expressing this gene. During the post-implantation period (Days 5-8), the co-localization of the mRNA and protein in the decidua at the implantation sites suggests that the decidualizing stromal cells synthesize TGF-alpha. Although in situ hybridization showed the presence of mRNA in embryos on Days 5-8, immunostaining was noted in the embryo only on Days 5 and 6. These results suggest that uterine and embryonic expression of TGF-alpha during the peri-implantation period could be involved in embryonic development, preparation of the uterus for implantation, and decidualization.
