pubmed:abstractText
Conditioned media from cultures of human decidual explants and aqueous extracts of human decidual tissue contain a factor that causes a reversible dose-dependent inhibition of decidual PRL release in vitro. Decidual explants incubated for 30 min in medium containing 50, 100, and 250 micrograms/ml of a dialyzed and lyophilized preparation of decidual conditioned medium (DCM) released 32.4 +/- 2.7%, 70.9 +/- 4.5%, and 100.0%, respectively, less PRL than control explants. DCM, however, had no measurable effect on the synthesis of decidual PRL or the synthesis and release of trichloroacetic acid-precipitable 35S-labeled proteins. The effect was of short duration and completely reversible. The inhibition of decidual PRL release was not due to PRL, since 500 micrograms/ml human pituitary PRL (a PRL concentration 40 times that in the minimal effective dose of DCM) added to the incubation medium of decidual explants had no effect on the synthesis or release of decidual PRL or trichloroacetic acid-precipitable 35S-labeled decidual proteins. The inhibitory activity eluted from Sephadex G-200 with an apparent molecular weight of 38,000-45,000 daltons, was heat labile, was destroyed by treatment with trypsin, and was unaffected by extraction with acetone-ethanol. These results strongly suggest that the release of decidual PRL is under local control, regulated in part by a factor(s) other than PRL that is released by the decidua.
