| Abstract | Oestrogen, acting through its cognate receptor oestrogen receptor-α (ERα), is a critical regulator of uterine endometrial epithelial proliferation. Although the dynamic communication between endometrial stromal and epithelial cells is considered to be an important component in this process, key molecular players in particular compartments remain poorly defined. Here, we used mice null for Krüppel-like factor 9 (KLF9) to evaluate the contribution of this nuclear protein in stromal-epithelial interactions underlying proliferative effects of oestrogen. We find that in ovariectomized mice administered estradiol-17β $(E_{2})$ for 24 h, Klf9 null mutation resulted in lack of $E_{2}-induced$ proliferative response in all endometrial compartments. We demonstrate a negative association between Klf9 expression and nuclear levels of ERα transcriptional corepressor prohibitin (PHB) 2 in uterine stromal and epithelial cells of $E_{2}-treated$ wildtype (WT) and Klf9 null mice. In early pregnancy uteri of WT mice, the temporal pattern of Klf9 transcript levels was inversely associated with that of Phb2. Deletion of Klf9 up-regulated uterine Phb2 expression and increased PHB2 nuclear localization in endometrial stromal and epithelial cells, with no effects on the expression of the related Phb1. In the human endometrial stromal cell line HESC treated with $E_{2}$ for 24 h, KLF9 siRNA targeting augmented PHB2 transcript and increased nuclear PHB2 protein levels, albeit this effect was not to the extent seen in vivo with Klf9 null mutants. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for control of oestrogen-induced luminal epithelial proliferation involving stromal KLF9 regulation of paracrine factor(s) to repress epithelial expression of corepressor PHB2. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
