Cyclic AMP and progesterone receptor cross-talk in human endometrium: a decidualizing affair.

Birgit Gellersen, Jan Joris Brosens
The Journal of endocrinology
2003

During the menstrual cycle, the ovarian hormones oestradiol and progesterone control the ordered growth and differentiation of uterine cells. This remodelling process is critical for implantation of… (More)

Decidualization of the human endometrium: mechanisms, functions, and clinical perspectives.

Birgit Gellersen, Ivo Brosens, Jan Joris Brosens
Seminars in reproductive medicine
2007

The fetomaternal interface, consisting of the maternal decidua and the invading fetal trophoblast, critically regulates placental function and the growth and development of the conceptus. In its… (More)

Cyclic AMP-induced forkhead transcription factor, FKHR, cooperates with CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta in differentiating human endometrial stromal cells.

Mark Christian, Xiaohui Zhang, +4 authors Jan Joris Brosens
The Journal of biological chemistry
2002

Decidual transformation of human endometrial stromal (ES) cells requires sustained activation of the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. In a search for novel transcriptional mediators of this process,… (More)

Functional association of PR and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta isoforms: promoter-dependent cooperation between PR-B and liver-enriched inhibitory protein, or liver-enriched activatory protein…

Mark Christian, Yvonne Pohnke, Rita Kempf, Birgit Gellersen, Jan Joris Brosens
Molecular endocrinology
2002

Activation of the decidual PRL (dPRL) promoter, a major differentiation marker in human endometrial stromal (ES) cells, by cAMP is effected through the induction and binding of CCAAT/enhancer-binding… (More)

Non-genomic progesterone actions in female reproduction.

Birgit Gellersen, Maria Sofia Fernandes, Jan Joris Brosens
Human reproduction update
2009

BACKGROUND The steroid hormone progesterone is indispensable for mammalian procreation by controlling key female reproductive events that range from ovulation to implantation, maintenance of… (More)

Nonpituitary human prolactin gene transcription is independent of Pit-1 and differentially controlled in lymphocytes and in endometrial stroma.

Birgit Gellersen, Rita Kempf, Ralph Telgmann, Gabriel E Dimattia
Molecular endocrinology
1994

Expression of the human PRL (hPRL) gene in extrapituitary sites such as the uterus (decidualized endometrial stroma and myometrium) and cells of the hematopoietic lineage is directed by an… (More)

Activated protein kinase A is required for differentiation-dependent transcription of the decidual prolactin gene in human endometrial stromal cells.

Ralph Telgmann, Erik Maronde, Kjetil Taskén, Birgit Gellersen
Endocrinology
1997

Decidualization of human endometrial stromal (ES) cells in vitro is induced by cAMP analogs and ligands that elevate cellular cAMP levels. A marker of this differentiation process is the activation… (More)

HoxA-11 and FOXO1A Cooperate to Regulate Decidual Prolactin Expression: Towards Inferring the Core Transcriptional Regulators of Decidual Genes

Vincent J. Lynch, Kathryn J. Brayer, Birgit Gellersen, Günter P. Wagner
PloS one
2009

BACKGROUND During the menstrual cycle, the ovarian steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone control a dramatic transcriptional reprogramming of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) leading to a… (More)

Cyclic decidualization of the human endometrium in reproductive health and failure.

Birgit Gellersen, Jan Joris Brosens
Endocrine reviews
2014

Decidualization denotes the transformation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into specialized secretory decidual cells that provide a nutritive and immunoprivileged matrix essential for embryo… (More)

Marker genes of decidualization: activation of the decidual prolactin gene.

Ralph Telgmann, Birgit Gellersen
Human reproduction update
1998

Decidualization of human endometrial stromal (ES) cells in vitro is induced by cAMP analogues and ligands that elevate cellular cAMP levels in a manner resembling the gonadotrophins, prostaglandin E2… (More)
