Although the endometrial epithelial and stromal cell response to oestrogen and progesterone is well characterized, relatively little is known about the endothelial cell response. The aim of this study was to investigate the time course of endometrial endothelial cell proliferation in response to a specific regimen of oestrogen and progesterone, and to compare it with the stromal and epithelial cell response in mouse endometrium. Adult female mice were ovariectomized to induce endometrial regression. After 7 days, hormonal treatments were given according to the following regimen: days 1-3: 100 ng oestradiol; days 4-6: 10 ng oestradiol and 500 mug progesterone; and day 7: 100 ng oestradiol and 500 mug progesterone. On each day of hormonal treatment, mice (n=5) were injected with bromodeoxyuridine and perfusion fixed 4 h later with buffered formalin. Proliferating endometrial cells were detected by monoclonal antibody against bromodeoxyuridine, and endothelial cells were detected by antibody to CD31. At day 7 after ovariectomy few proliferating cells were found in the endometrium. After 1 day of oestrogen treatment, significant proliferation was detected in the endothelial cells (0.0% versus 16.1+/-1.2%, P
