Abstract

Uterine growth factors appear to play a role in the regulation of pregnancy. One of these, colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), synthesized by the uterine epithelium under the control of female sex steroids, has been shown to have important functions both before implantation and during the formation of the placenta. In the female reproductive tract the CSF-1 receptor, the product of the c-fms proto-oncogene, is expressed in decidual cells, trophoblasts and macrophages, indicating that these cells are the primary targets for CSF-1. This article reviews the biology of CSF-1 during gestation as well as the possible involvement of CSF-1 and its receptor in the aetiology of gynaecological tumours.
