The aim of this study was to determine whether TNF-alpha inhibits mPL-II secretion through TNF-RI or TNF-RII, and to investigate the gestational profile of TNF-RI and TNF-RII gene expression. The mouse trophoblast cells from day 12 pregnancy were cultured with or without agonistic polyclonal antibodies directed against the individual TNF-alpha receptors, and mPL-II secretion in the medium was assessed by RIA. Anti-TNF-RI antibody significantly inhibited the mPL-II secretion in a dose- and time-dependent manner, but anti-TNF-RII antibody did not. Moreover, the TNF-RII antibody did not influence the inhibitory effect of the TNF-RI antibody on mPL-II secretion. TNF-RI antibody inhibited the mPL-II gene expression by Northern blot analysis. Amount of the gene expression of TNF-RI in the second half of pregnancy was higher than those in the first half of pregnancy both in vitro and in vivo, although the gene expression of TNF-RII was not detectable by Northern blot analysis using poly(A)+RNA. These results suggest that TNF-RI is a main receptor for TNF-alpha in mouse placenta and that TNF-alpha may have an important role in regulating mPL-II secretion after midpregnancy.
