Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear receptors that are involved in lipid metabolism, differentiation, proliferation, cell death, and inflammation. Three subtypes have been identified: PPAR-alpha, -delta, and -g

Objective: Our objective was to identify the novel or differential expression of growth or development associated genes in the human gestational membranes that might play roles in pregnancy or in term or preterm parturition. Study Design: Complementa

Inflammatory processes are implicated in preterm labour (PTL). To identify potential novel markers for PTL, we have used commercial cDNA arrays to generate profiles of differential expression of inflammation-associated genes in gestational membranes

The activity, expression and localization of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) were investigated in human placenta at term. UGT activity (measured with the substrate 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU)) was observed in all 25 placentas sampled and max

Apoptosis at the site of rupture has been proposed to play a role in premature rupture of the fetal membranes, a condition associated with increased risk of neonatal sepsis and preterm birth. We investigated the ability of peroxisome proliferator-act

Problem: The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 beta has been shown to stimulate the production of prostaglandins (PG) in gestational tissues. Increased PG synthesis is considered a key step in the initiation of labor both at term and prete

Prostaglandin-H-synthase-1 (PGHS-1), while constitutively expressed in most tissues, increases in abundance in human gestational membranes at term. This suggests that PGHS-1 may be up-regulated in preparation for labor, and thus might be a key determ

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-stimulated prostaglandin (PG) E(2)biosynthesis by amnion-derived AV3 cells is accompanied by increased prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS)-2 mRNA expression. PGHS-1 mRNA expression is unchanged. PGHS-2 promoter-reporter

Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS)-2 promoter fragments (-528 to +9 bp and 5' unidirectional deletions thereof) were cloned upstream of the chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase (CAT) reporter gene. These were transfected into amnion-derived AV3 cells. The

To test the hypothesis that amnion cytokine production might be regulated by prostanoids.Amnion-derived WISH cells were treated with a range of prostanoids and their effects on production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were determined by enzyme-linke
