Dynamin 2 regulates riboflavin endocytosis in human placental trophoblasts.
Riboflavin is thoroughly established to be indispensable in a multitude of cellular oxidation-reduction reactions through its conversion to coenzyme forms flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide. Despite its physiological importance, little is known about specific mechanisms or proteins involved in regulating its cellular entry in humans. Studies involving biochemical modulators a...
متن کاملProduction of Interferons and β-Chemokines by Placental Trophoblasts of HIV-1-Infected Women
OBJECTIVE The mechanism whereby the placental cells of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected mother protect the fetus from HIV-1 infection is unclear. Interferons (IFNs) inhibit the replication of viruses by acting at various stages of the life cycle and may play a role in protecting against vertical transmission of HIV-1. In addition the beta-chemokines RANTES (regulated on activatio...
متن کاملActivation of CD8+ regulatory T cells by human placental trophoblasts.
The immunological basis by which a mother tolerates her semi-allogeneic fetus remains poorly understood. Several mechanisms are likely to contribute to this phenomenon including active immune regulation by regulatory T cells. In this article, we report that human placental trophoblasts activate a clonal population of CD8(+) T cells with regulatory function. These cells are not MHC class I restr...
متن کاملCharacterization of urokinase receptor expression by human placental trophoblasts.
The processes of implantation and placentation are both dependent on the invasion and remodeling of the uterine endometrium and vasculature by trophoblasts. Because the secretion and autocrine binding of urokinase (uPA) appears to be a common mechanism used by cells to facilitate plasmin-dependent tissue invasion, we measured the production of uPA and expression of uPA receptors by trophoblasts...
متن کاملChorionic disk extravillous trophoblasts in placental diagnosis.
To study clinical and placental associations of increased amount of chorionic disk extravillous trophoblast (IAEVT), the frequency of selected clinical and placental parameters of 189 consecutive cases with IAEVT, defined as more than 5 cell islands and/or placental septa per placental section, were compared with those for all remaining 1,006 placentas examined during the same period. IAEVT was...
