简介:自发的术语劳动在包括cytokine生产和白血球渗入的myometrium与放大煽动性的事件被联系;然而,调整如此的事件的潜在的机制充分没被理解。我们由成长胎儿假设了子宫的墙的那机械段由子宫的myocytes通过各种各样的cytokines的版本便于外部白血球溢出进术语myometrium。人的myometrial房间(hTERT-HM)受到静态的机械段;调节段的媒介被收集并且分析了使用48-plexLuminex试金和ELISA。人的子宫的microvascularendothelial房间(UtMVEC-Myo)的房间粘附分子表示上的调节段的媒介的效果被量的聚合酶链反应(qPCR)和流动cytometry检测;测试leukocyte-endothelial相互作用的功能的试金:到endothelial房间和象THP-1monocytic房间的移植一样的标记calcein的主要人的neutrophils的transendothelial移植的白血球的粘附被萤光计估计。在vitro学习的水流证明机械段(i)直接由hTERT-HM细胞导致多重cytokines和chemokines的分泌物(IL-6,CXCL8,CXCL1,移植禁止的因素(MIF),VEGF,G-CSF,IL-12p70,bFGF和导出血小板的生长因素子单元B(PDGF-bb),P<;0.05);导致段的cytokines(ii)提高白血球粘附到包围的内皮细胞层子宫的微脉管系统由(iii)导致endothelial房间粘附分子的表示并且(iv)指导外部白血球的transendothelial迁居。(vi)抵销Chemokine抗体和用途广泛的chemokine禁止者堵住白血球移植。我们的数据从子宫的血容器为白血球招募提供机械规定的一个证明给myometrium,为白血球建议通常认为的机制在劳动和产后的复杂物期间渗透到子宫。
