Human Chorionic Gonadotro Phosphorylation in Chorionic pin Secretion Ti ssue and Protein
نویسندگان
چکیده
The signal transduction system acts either monodirectionally (synergistically) or bidirectionally (antagonistically) in different tissues. We activated the signal transduction system in BeWo human choriocarcinoma cells and studied the effects on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) secretion, cell proliferation, and DNA synthesis. Protein phosphorylation in the cytosolic fraction was also studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When phorbol 12-myristate 13acetate (PMA) was added to cultures, hCG secretion was increased dose-dependently, but cell proliferation and 3H-thymidine uptake were not affected. When only cholera toxin was added, hCG secretion was also stimulated dose-dependently, but when both PMA and cholera toxin were added there was a synergistic potentiation of hCG production. In contrast, Ca ionophore A23187 had almost no effect on hCG secretion. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and autoradiography showed that phosphorylation of a 33 kd acidic protein was produced by cholera toxin, while phosphorylation of a 45 kd acidic protein and dephosphorylation of a 14 kd acidic protein were caused by the phorbol ester. These proteins may be specific substrates of protein kinase A and protein kinase C, respectively, in BeWo cells.

P-234: Expression of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Hormone Using Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells
Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of glycoprotein hormones family consist of two different non-covalently heterodimeric chains: alpha and beta subunits with 92 and 145 amino acids respectively. This hormone plays an important role in human reproduction and physiology especially for maintenance of the corpus luteum during the first months of pregnancy Materials and Metho...

متن کاملBeta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Producing Osteosarcoma of the Sacrum in a 26-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Ectopic secretion of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is considered a poor prognostic marker in epithelial tumors. However, very few cases have been reported in sarcomas. We present the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a metastatic osteosarcoma. She underwent usual testing prior to starting treatment and was found to have elevated levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. As ...

SMAD1/5 Signaling in the Early Equine Placenta Regulates Trophoblast Differentiation and Chorionic Gonadotropin Secretion
TGFβ superfamily proteins, acting via SMAD (Sma- and Mad-related protein)2/3 pathways, regulate placental function; however, the role of SMAD1/5/8 pathway in the placenta is unknown. This study investigated the functional role of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)4 signaling through SMAD1/5 in terminal differentiation of primary chorionic gonadotropin (CG)-secreting trophoblast. Primary equine tr...
