Periostin/OSF2 is a ligand for αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins and activates the Akt/PKB pathway. Recent reports of periostin/OSF2 gene disrupted mice indicate that periostin/OSF-2 plays an important role in implantation. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that the expression of periostin/OSF-2 mRNA in rat uteri was reduced to approximately 10% at 12 h after 17β-estradiol (E2) injection, but was not changed after progesterone (P) injection. RT-PCR revealed the expression of periostin/OSF-2 in human endometrium, cultured human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and cultured human endometrial epithelial cells. In ESCs, the expression of periostin/OSF-2 mRNA was reduced to approximately 50% at 6 h after E2 treatment. The amount of periostin/OSF2 mRNA in human endometrium significantly increased during mid-proliferative and early secretory phases of menstrual cycle, and decreased during late-proliferative, mid-secretory and late secretory phases. The expression of periostin/OSF2 mRNA significantly decreased in ESCs decidualized by treatment with E2 and P for 7 and 11 days. By immunohistochemistry, the expression of periostin/OSF-2 was strongly detected in endometrial stromal cells during early proliferative, mid-proliferative and early secretory phases, and was strongly detected in endometrial epithelial cells during late secretory phase. This study demonstrated that the expression of periostin/OSF-2 is regulated by ovarian steroid hormones in rat uterus and human endometrium.<br>
