Expression of serum amyloid A4 in human trophoblast-like choriocarcinoma cell lines and human first trimester/term trophoblast cells

چکیده
Trophoblast invasion into uterine tissues represents a hallmark of first trimester placental development. As expression of serum amyloid A4 (SAA4) occurs in tumorigenic and invasive tissues we here investigated whether SAA4 is present in trophoblast-like human AC1-M59/Jeg-3 cells and trophoblast preparations of human first trimester and term placenta. SAA4 mRNA was expressed in non-stimulated and cytokine-treated AC1-M59/Jeg-3 cells. In purified trophoblast cells SAA4 mRNA expression was upregulated at weeks 10 and 12 of pregnancy. Western-blot and immunohistochemical staining of first trimester placental tissue revealed pronounced SAA4 expression in invasive trophoblast cells indicating a potential role of SAA4 during invasion.

متن کاملHuman endogenous retrovirus-W envelope (syncytin) is expressed in both villous and extravillous trophoblast populations.
The placenta is unique amongst normal tissues in transcribing numerous different human endogenous retroviruses at high levels. In this study, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the expression of syncytin in human trophoblast. Syncytin transcripts were found in first-trimester trophoblast cells with both villous and extravillous phenotypes and also in the JAR and JEG-3 chor...

متن کاملExpression of stathmin, a microtubule regulatory protein, is associated with the migration and differentiation of cultured early trophoblasts.
BACKGROUND The microtubule-destabilizing protein stathmin is expressed by the villous cytotrophoblasts and invasive extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) in the first-trimester human placenta. Here, we evaluated the significance of stathmin expression in terms of the functions of trophoblasts. METHODS We employed two choriocarcinoma cell lines (BeWo and JEG-3), an EVT cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) and i...

Trophoblast stem cells develop from polar trophoectoderm and give rise to the cells that generate the placenta. Trophoblast cells are responsible for the uterinal invasion and vascular remodeling during the implantation of the embryo. However this knowledge is not yet to be confirmed for trophoblast progenitor cells (TPCs). In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that human TPCs (hTPCs) express ...
