The synthesis and secretion of placental protein 12 (PP12) by early pregnancy decidua and trophoblast were studied in vitro from tissues obtained by curettage during elective termination of pregnancy (weeks 8-14). The tissue explants were incubated in Ham's F-10 medium for a 27-h period, and the PP12 levels in media and tissue homogenates were measured by RIA. De novo synthesis of PP12 was assessed by measuring the incorporation of radioactivity into PP12 after 20 h of incubation of tissues with 20 microCi/ml [35S]methionine. PP12 from the culture medium was immunoprecipitated with anti-PP12(A) antiserum, and the immunoprecipitate was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The initial tissue content of PP12 was 10- to 72-fold higher in decidua than in trophoblast. The total amount of radioimmunoassayable PP12 released into medium by decidual explants during the 27-h incubation period together with that present in the tissues at the end of incubation exceeded the initial tissue content by 242.7 +/- 63.7% (mean +/- SE). Only small amounts of PP12 were detected in media from trophoblast cultures. During the first 7 h of incubation, inclusion of cycloheximide had no effect on PP12 release by decidual explants in three of four experiments. Between 7 and 27 h, the amount of PP12 released by cycloheximide-treated tissues was 20.0 +/- 7% of that released by control tissues (P less than 0.01). Cycloheximide had no effect on PP12 release by trophoblasts. Decidual explants incorporated [35S]methionine into PP12, but trophoblasts did not. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, the newly synthesized PP12 comigrated with the major band of purified PP12 corresponding to mol wt 29,000. These data clearly confirm that PP12 is a protein of decidual rather than trophoblastic origin, and indicate that decidua from early pregnancy has the ability to synthesize it.
