Induction of Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 in Rat Uterine Glandular Epithelium During Uterine Sensitization for the Decidual Cell Reaction1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Endometrial receptivity for implantation and sensitization for decidualization in rodents is a transient state under the control of the ovarian steroids estrogen and progesterone. It is unclear, however, what molecular events mediate the onset of uterine receptivity. Messenger RNA differential display was performed on endometrial RNA from ovariectomized rats differentially sensitized for decidualization. Maximally sensitized uteri were at the equivalent of Day 5 of pseudopregnancy, and temporally nonsensitized uteri at Day 4 or 6; hormonally nonsensitized uteri were from animals on Day 5 treated with low or high doses of estradiol on Day 4. A cDNA with endometrial expression restricted to maximally sensitized uteri was isolated, cloned, and sequenced. The cDNA matched the sequence for glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), a heat shock 70-related protein that resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and has roles in several cellular processes including multimeric protein assembly, the degradation of proteins, and the storage and regulation of ER luminal calcium. Northern blot analysis indicated a dramatic increase in GRP78 mRNA levels restricted to the sensitized, Day 5 endometrium, suggesting a role in the onset of the sensitized phase. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry experiments localized the up-regulation of GRP78 within the receptive endometrium to the glandular epithelium.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
