Abstract

A significant decline of Per2-dLuc bioluminescence activity was observed in decidualized uterine endometrial stromal cells.

  • Cellular oscillators in the uterus are linked to the regulation of Gdf10 and Gdf15 gene expression during decidualization.
  • The expression of canonical clock genes decreased in decidualized uterine endometrial stromal cells.
  • Upregulation of Gdf10 and Gdf15 occurs alongside the downregulation of REV-ERBα when Bmal1 is silenced.
  • Gdf5, Gdf7, and Gdf11 showed no significant changes in expression following Bmal1 silencing.
  • Treatment with a REV-ERBα antagonist increased the expression of Gdf10 and Gdf15, regardless of progesterone presence.
  • REV-ERBα inhibits Gdf10 and Gdf15 expression by binding to their gene promoters in uterine endometrial stromal cells.
