Human infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss caused by implantation defects are poorly understood. Hoxa-10-deficient female mice have severe infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss due to defective uterine implantation. Gene expression profiling experiments reveal that Hoxa-10 is an important regulator of two critical events in implantation: stromal cell proliferation and local immunosuppression. At the time of implantation, Hoxa-10 mediates the progesterone-stimulated proliferation of uterin ...[more]
