Trophoblast Biology, Biochemical Therapy and Prevention of Choriocarcinoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Biochemical tumor marker was human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) produced by choriocarcinoma itself, which was used to determine the complete remission of the carcinoma, which was treated by primary systemic methotrexate (MTX) therapy. Also, hCG was the marker of positive pregnancy test in the MTX prevention of choriocarcinoma. It will be important to use biochemical marker produced by the subject in the chemotherapy of malignant tumor.

Rcho-1 trophoblast stem cells: a model system for studying trophoblast cell differentiation.
The biology of trophoblast cell development can be investigated using in vitro model systems. The Rcho-1 trophoblast stem cell line was derived from a rat choriocarcinoma and is an effective tool for elucidating regulatory mechanisms controlling trophoblast cell differentiation. In this chapter, we describe methods used in the maintenance and manipulation of the Rcho-1 trophoblast cell line.
متن کاملCytological distribution of chorionic gonadotropin subunit and placental lactogen messenger RNA in neoplasms derived from human placenta
Normal trophoblast of the human placenta elaborates at least two major protein hormones, chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and placental lactogen (hPL). There are several gestational trophoblastic diseases of the placenta called hydatidiform mole, invasive mole, and choriocarcinoma. Molar and choriocarcinoma tissues characteristically synthesize large amounts of hCG and small quantities of hPL. To ...
متن کاملEffect of different concentrations of leukemia inhibitory factor on gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A in trophoblast Tumor Cell Line
Background: Several studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is one of the most important cytokinesparticipating in the process of embryo implantation and pregnancy, while, the role of this factor on vascular endothelialfactor-A (VEGF-A), as one of the most important angiogenic factor, has not been fully investigated yet. The aimof this study was to evaluate th...
متن کاملCurrent concepts of reproductive immuno-biology.
Literature on immunological aspects of reproductive biology is reviewed. Topics discussed include 1) immunological aspects of choriocarcinoma, 2) the female response to various antigens of semen, 3) the uterus as an immunologically "privileged" site, 4) the elicitation and expression of immunity in the uterus, 5) the influence of histoincompatibility and the immune status of the mother as det...
متن کاملExpression of erythropoietin by the human placenta.
Circulating levels of maternal erythropoietin (EPO) rise during gestation due to increased biosynthesis of the hormone. Our objective was to investigate the human placenta as a potential extrarenal site of EPO production. Using two monoclonal antibodies recognizing different antigenic determinants, we identified immunoreactive EPO associated with villous cytotrophoblast, endovascular and intrav...
