摘要
The distribution of laminin A, B1, B2, nidogen and collagen α1(IV) mRNA was studied in the 12.5-day mouse placenta and uterus. This was compared to the pattern of laminin, nidogen and collagen IV immunoreactivity in the placenta at this time. High levels of B2 mRNA were distributed throughout the decidual layer, compared to lower levels of laminin B1, nidogen and collagen IV. In contrast, laminin B1 and nidogen mRNA were found at very high levels in the trophoblast giant cells and cytotrophoblast. Laminin B2 was much lower in trophoblast cells than in the decidua. Nidogen mRNA levels were low in the decidual cells, but high in endothelial cells lining the placental blood spaces in the decidual layer. Immunofluorescence staining of the placenta showed colocalization of laminin, nidogen and collagen IV in fetal and maternal layers of the placenta. In the antimesometrial area where the uterine epithelium was reforming laminin B1 and B2 mRNA were uniformly distributed between the epithelium and stroma, whereas nidogen and collagen α1(IV) mRNA were only produced by the stromal cells. In all cell types, apart from parietal endoderm cells forming Reichert's membrane, laminin A chain mRNA was very low or absent. These results demonstrate that laminin and nidogen genes are not coordinately expressed in the midgestation mouse placenta. Comparison of the distribution of these mRNAs with collagen α1(IV) mRNA suggests that different regions of the placenta produce specialized extracellular matrices which may contain different ratios of these polypeptides. © 1993, Baillière Tindall Ltd.
