Calcium influx in human uterine epithelial RL95-2 cells triggers adhesiveness for trophoblast-like cells. Model studies on signalling events during embryo implantation
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
RL95-2 is a human uterine epithelial cell line that exhibits adhesion competence on its apical surface for trophoblast-like JAR cells. Using confocal microscopy and an adhesion assay we have found that changes in intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in RL95-2 cells are involved in binding of JAR spheroids. Impact of spheroids upon, and movement of spheroids across, monolayers of RL95-2 cells produced a...
