    Summary
    The aim of this study was to determine the effects of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF), interleukin-1 α (IL-1α), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) on the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and fetal fibronectin (fFN) by purified first trimester cytotrophoblastic cells (CTB) in vitro. CTB were obtained from legal abortions and cultured in vitro in the presence or absence of the different cytokines. Secreted gelatinases were analysed in the culture supernatants by zymography, by measurements of the total gelatinolytic activity and by enzyme immunoassays. HCG and fFN were measured by commercially available immunoassays. TNF increased the total gelatinolytic activity by increasing MMP-9 activity (P = 0.025-0.0177) but decreased MMP-2 activity (P < 0.03) and immunoreactivity (P < 0.05), fFN (P < 0.02) and HCG (P < 0.01). IL-1α significantly increased the secretion of fFN (P < 0.02), the activity (P < 0.02) and immunoreactivity (P < 0.05) of MMP-9 but had no effect on the other parameters. MCSF increased MMP-9 immunoreactivity (P < 0.05) and moderately decreased HCG. TGFβ inhibited total gelatinolytic activity, MMP-9 activity and immunoreactivity, but was without effect on MMP-2 concentrations and activity. TGFβ decreased HCG (P < 0.041) and increased fFN (P < 0.042). Our results indicate that TGFβ, TNF and IL-1α are important regulators of trophoblastic MMP secretion
