Extravillous Trophoblast Migration and Invasion Assay.
Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) migration and invasion through the decidualized endometrium is essential to successful placentation. SGHPL-4 cells, an EVT cell line derived from first trimester placenta, is a widely used model of cytotrophoblast differentiation into an invasive phenotype. Here we describe a quantitative cell migration assay that can be modified to also measure cell invasion. SGH...
متن کاملPLAC8, a new marker for human interstitial extravillous trophoblast cells, promotes their invasion and migration
Proper differentiation of trophoblast cells in the human placenta is a prerequisite for a successful pregnancy, and dysregulation of this process may lead to malignant pregnancy outcomes, such as preeclampsia. Finding specific markers for different types of trophoblast cells is essential for understanding trophoblast differentiation. Here, we report that placenta-specific protein 8 (PLAC8) is s...
متن کاملPromoter Hypomethylation of Maspin Inhibits Migration and Invasion of Extravillous Trophoblast Cells during Placentation
OBJECTIVE Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells invade the endometrium and the maternal spiral arterioles during the first trimester. Mammary Serine Protease Inhibitor (Maspin, SERPINB5) plays a putative role in regulating the invasive activity of cytotrophoblasts. The maspin gene is silenced in various cancers by an epigenetic mechanism that involves aberrant cytosine methylation. We investigat...
متن کاملVitamin D promotes human extravillous trophoblast invasion in vitro.
INTRODUCTION Incomplete human extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion of the decidua and maternal spiral arteries is characteristic of pre-eclampsia, a condition linked to low maternal vitamin D status. It is hypothesized that dysregulated vitamin D action in uteroplacental tissues disrupts EVT invasion leading to malplacentation. METHODS This study assessed the effects of the active vitamin ...
متن کاملMTA3 Regulates Extravillous Trophoblast Invasion Through NuRD Complex
Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion is required for remodeling uterine tertiary arteries and placenta development during pregnancy. Compromised EVT invasion may contribute to the pathology of placenta-related diseases. Metastasis -associated protein 3 (MTA3) is one of the subunits of nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex that represses transcription in a histone deacetylase...
