Figure 5. LIF (50 ng/ml) enhanced IL6 and IL15 secretion by in vitro decidualized HSEC.
A. Cytokine secretion by first trimester decidual biopsies (n = 3). B. Cytokine secretion by HESC decidualized with estradiol (E) and medroxy-progesterone acetate (MPA) (n = 5). C. LIF treatment (50 ng/ml) significantly (*; compared to 0.5 ng/ml; p<0.05) induced IL6 secretion by decidualized HESC (n = 5). D. LIF treatment (50 ng/ml) had no significant effect (compared to 0.5 ng/ml; p = 0.222) on IL8 secretion by decidualized HESC (n = 5). E. LIF treatment (50 ng/ml) significantly (*; compared to 0.5 ng/ml; p<0.05) induced IL15 secretion by decidualized HESC (n = 5). F. LIF treatment (50 ng/ml) had no significant effect (compared to 0.5 ng/ml; p = 0.222) on MCP1 secretion by decidualized HESC (n = 5).
