In rat uterine epithelium, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibronectin (FN) display changes in temporal expression during implantation. PDGF was expressed in the apical epithelium on Day 3, apically, laterally and basally at the time of implantation on Day 6 but was not expressed on Day 7.
Transforming growth factor-Pl (TGF-Pl) is a potent growth inhibitor of epithelial cell growth, but can also stimulate stromal cell growth. Loss of responsiveness to TGF-/)l or loss of TGF-P1 itself may be important in the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) to invasive cervical c
