Interleukin 11 receptor alpha (IlI 1ra) null mice are infertile due to defective decidualization and abnormal trophoblast invasion. We have previously shown in these mice that downregulation of decidual proteinase inhibitors plays a role in uncontrolled trophoblast invasion. However, the decidua is abnormally smaller in pseudopregnant Il11ra null mice, where trophoblast invasion is not a factor. Here, we examined whether defective decidualization is due to dysregulation of key molecules involved in decidual cell growth and differentiation. We found a dramatic downregulation of cyclin D3 in Il11ra null mice. We also found that IL11 robustly stimulates the expression of cyclin D3 in cell culture. CDK4 and CDK6, known partners of cyclin D3, are not affected. Immunolocalizalion studies show absence of cyclin D3 in the mesometrial site and absence of differentiated polyploid cells in the anti mesometrial site of Il11ra null mice. We also examined the expression of cell differentiation factors CDKN1 A (p21) and CDKN1 B (p27), and found that in both in vivo and cell culture the expression of CDKN1A (p21) but not CDKN1B (p27) is under the control of Il11. Another clear target of IL11 in the decidua is BIRC5 (Survivin), whose expression is repressed in the decidua of Il11ra null mice and stimulated by IL11 in cell culture. Taken together, these results provide, at least in part, an explanation for the defective small decidua of mice lacking the Il11ra gene, and reveal for the first time that cyclin 133, CDKN1A (p2l), and BIRC5 (Survivin) are targets of IL11 in the decidua.
