Abstract excerpt
Activation of the decidual PRL (dPRL) promoter, a major differentiation marker in human endometrial stromal (ES) cells, by cAMP is effected through the induction and binding of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-beta (C/EBPbeta) to two overlapping cognate response elements in the promoter region dPRL-332/-270. Progesterone is essential for decidualization and potently enhances cAMP-dependent dPRL promoter activity....
