摘要：
In order to clarify the biological action of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) in the human decidua, we investigated the effects of TGF-alpha on cell proliferation and prolactin (PRL) secretion in cultured decidual cells in vitro. TGF-alpha had a stimulatory effect on DNA synthesis in decidual cells and an inhibitory effect on PRL secretion from these cells. These results suggest that TGF-alpha, like epidermal growth factor (EGF), may be one of the substances which regulate decidual function.
