The aim of this study was to determine the effects of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF), interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1alpha), macrophage colony stimulating factor ( MCSF ) and transforming growth factor beta ( TGFbeta ) on the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases ( MMP ) , human chorionic gonadotrophin ( HCG ) and fetal fibronectin ( fFN ) by purified first trimester cytotrophoblastic cells (CTB) in vitro

Furthermore, the induction of the MMP expression and activities by interleukin-1 was suppressed by the oscillatory shear

:
Progesterone withdrawal from stromal cell cultures ( for the final 4 days of a 10 day culture ) increased the release of all four enzymes : all but MMP-2 were also stimulated by interleukin-1 or tumour necrosis factor alpha added to short-term stromal cultures
