Abstract
Trophoblasts and decidua express GnRH-I, GnRH-II, and GnRHR-I mRNA and protein. GnRH-I and -II selectively stimulate hCG production by trophoblast cells without altering the production of select cytokines by trophoblasts or decidua. The role of GnRH-GnRHR signaling at the maternal-fetal interface therefore appears to be limited to the regulation of trophoblast hCG production.
