Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that macrophage function and macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression may be directly or indirectly affected by regulation of estrogen and progestational hormone, but the specific impact has not been studied in depth.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of estradiol and progesterone on the number of macrophages and the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the endometrium of bilaterally ovariectomized mice.
METHODS: The bilaterally ovariectomized mice were randomly divided into estrogen, progestational hormone, and control groups. The number of macrophages and the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the endometrium of mice in each group were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical staining results showed that after 6 and 24 hours of intervention, the number of macrophages and the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the mouse endometrium in the estrogen and progestational hormone groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). These results confirm that both estradiol and progesterone can increase the number of macrophages, and can increase the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factors in the endometrium of bilaterally ovariectomized mice.
