Labor is associated with 'decidual activation' with increased proteolysis and extracellular matrix degradation. The balance between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and urokinase (uPA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is an important determinant of proteolytic activity at the maternal-fetal interface. Thrombin released at the time of placental abruption (decidual hemorrhage) is known to promote decidual proteolysis and uterine contractions. This study investigates the separate and interactive effects of steroid hormones and thrombin on PAI-1, uPA, and tPA expression by term decidual cells (DCs).
