Function of caspase-14 in trophoblast differentiation
BACKGROUND Within the human placenta, the cytotrophoblast consists of a proliferative pool of progenitor cells which differentiate to replenish the overlying continuous, multi-nucleated syncytiotrophoblast, which forms the barrier between the maternal and fetal tissues. Disruption to trophoblast differentiation and function may result in impaired fetal development and preeclampsia. Caspase-14 e...
متن کاملIntermediate cells during cytotrophoblast differentiation in vitro.
Differentiation of the human placental trophoblast cell involves a multistep process, with the generation of several distinct types of intermediate cytotrophoblast cells. Using a short term in vitro cell culture system and centrifugal elutriation, we studied the isolation and morphological and biochemical differentiation of these separated intermediate cell populations. Freshly isolated cell fr...
متن کاملNew Member of the Caspase Family Identification and Characterization of Murine Caspase-14, a Updated Version
We report here the identification and characterization of a new mem ber of the mouse caspase family, named caspase-14. Northern blot analysis of mRNA from various tissues with caspase-14-specific probe showed a major transcript size of —¿ 2.4 kb and variant transcripts of 2.0 kb and 1.5 kb. The major transcript is detected mainly in the liver and to a lesser extent in the brain and kidney. Ca...

متن کاملDefect of villous cytotrophoblast differentiation into syncytiotrophoblast in Down's syndrome.
The syncytiotrophoblast (ST) is one of the major components of the human placenta, as it is involved in feto-maternal exchanges and the secretion of pregnancy-specific hormones. The aim of this study was to elucidate the formation and function of the ST in trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). We first used the in vitro model of cytotrophoblast differentiation into ST. Cytotrophoblasts were isolated fr...
