Interleukin 1 (IL1) plays an important role in the physiology of human endometrium and is recognized as a major and early embryonic signal. Tight control over the local endometrial action of this cytokine is critical for normal reproductive functions. The coordinated regulation of IL1 receptors types I and II (IL1R1 and IL1R2) and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) in endometrial cells may represent one of the principle mechanisms involved in the control of IL1 local effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the regulation of IL1Rs in human endometrial epithelial cells in response to IL1.
