Ulipristal acetate (UPA), also referred to as VA/CDB-2914, is a new and promising emergency contraceptive. It is a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) that has been approved in Europe and the USA for emergency contraception. To experimentally induce ovulation, the immature CD-1 mice (24...

Previous studies have shown that PR is a critical regulator of ovulation. The PR-null mice (PRKO) failed to ovulate due to a failure in the rupture of the preovulatory follicles. To experimentally induce ovulation, the wild type and PR null mice (C57BL/6, 24–28 d old) were injected ip with 5 IU of P...

We report the genome-wide binding sites of PGR-A and PGR-B at 2h of in vitro differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells that express either PGR-A or PGR-B. Progesterone, acting through the progesterone receptors (PGRs), is one of the most critical regulators of endometrial differentiation, k...

gene expression at 6h of differentiation of Human endometrial stromal cell expressing either or both of PRA and PRB Endogenous PGR expression is silenced with siRNA mediated knockdown. Then, cells are transduced with adenovirus exressing flag tagged PRA or flag tagged PRB. Human endometrial stromal ...

Our previous study revealed that the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Hand2 is a downstream target of progesterone signaling in mouse uterine stroma at the time of implantation. Further, conditional deletion of Hand2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine ep...

How proliferative and inhibitory cell signals integrate to control liver regeneration remains poorly understood. A screen for antiproliferative factors repressed after liver injury identified Tob1, a member of the PC3/BTG1 family of mitoinhibitory molecules as a target for further evaluation. Tob1...

Our previous studies have shown that bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a morphogen belonging to the TGFM-NM-2 superfamily, is markedly induced in human primary endometrial stromal cells (HESC) as they undergo differentiation in response to steroid hormones and cAMP. WNT4 is a downstream target of...

Our preliminary study revealed that the homeobox transcription factors, Msx1 and Msx2, are expressed in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Further, conditional deletion of Msx1 and Msx2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity. To identify th...
