| Abstract | We examined whether cAMP regulates expression of activin/inhibin subunit mRNAs in the mouse placenta and decidua. 8-Bromo-cAMP inhibited expression of inhibin alpha-subunit mRNA but stimulated expression of activin/inhibin beta A- and beta B-subunit mRNAs in placenta and decidua by the 3rd day of culture. Forskolin and cholera toxin also regulated expression of activin/inhibin subunit mRNAs in the same manner. However, activin-A did not affect expression of activin/inhibin subunit mRNAs. These findings suggest that cAMP inhibits inhibin production but stimulates activin production in the mouse placenta and decidua. |
