WNT4 Acts Downstream of BMP2 and Functions via β-Catenin Signaling Pathway to Regulate Human Endometrial Stromal Cell Differentiation
10 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into decidual cells is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation. Our previous studies in the mouse have shown that bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a morphogen belonging to the TGFβ superfamily, is essential for this differentiation process. BMP2 is markedly induced in human primary endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) as they undergo differentiation in...
