Objective: To investigate the expression of leukemia inhibitory factor gene in human first trimester decidua. Methods: By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reacion (RT-PCR)
the expression of LIF gene of 36 cases of decidua from human normal pregnancy was detected. Results: All of the decidua specimens had strong LIF gene expression. The level of LIF mRNA expression was 1.314± 0.457. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that the expression of LIF gene might play an important role in the early phase of embryo development and also in the maintenance of pregnancy.
