Hunting for Fox(A2): Dual roles in female fertility

Abstract: Pregnancy encompasses a complex orchestration of several sequential steps across tissue and cell types in the mother and fetus for embryo development and delivery of offspring at an opportune time for survival. These steps include embryo implantation, stromal cell proliferation and differentiation (decidualization), placentation, and ultimately parturition with delivery of offspring (1, 2). The outcome of each stage depends on the success of the preceding stages. Most pregnancy events in mice and other mammals… Show more

“…In glandless mice ( Pgr Cre/ + Foxa2 f/f ), pregnancies fail by GD 10, whereas they are maintained to term in gland-containing FOXA2-deficient mice ( Ltf iCre/ + Foxa2 f/f ). These studies strongly support the hypothesis that uterine glands and, by inference, their products have essential biological roles in embryo implantation and stromal cell decidualization for the establishment of pregnancy 18 .…”

“…FoxA2 is a pivotal factor for implantation by regulating LIF expression in glands [ 31 , 32 ]. As a multiple face factor, the function of FoxA2 is overtly different in neonatal and adult mice [ 33 , 34 ]. The FoxA family members interact with ERα to influence epigenetic signature establishment in the presence of E2 in MCF7 cells [ 35 ].…”
