At the human maternal-fetal interface, the decidua forms a dense matrix that is believed to limit trophoblast invasion. We investigated whether the metastasis suppressor KAI1 (CD82) is expressed at the maternal-fetal interface. Immunohistochemistry showed strong expression of KAI1 in decidual cells, whereas trophoblast cells were negative for KAI1. In luteal phase endometrium, KAI1 was present in decidualizing endometrial stromal cells. We investigated whether KAI1 expression in endometrial stro ...[more]
