Fetal microchimerism and cancer.
The persistence of fetal stem cells with multilineage potential in women who have been pregnant, a phenomenon known as fetal microchimerism, is emerging as a potential contributing factor in certain diseases, including cancer. For example, fetal microchimerism has been implicated in autoimmune disease, wound healing, and cancer. Studies of this phenomenon may provide a novel perspective on canc...
متن کاملCellular fetal microchimerism in preeclampsia.
Previous studies have shown elevated concentrations of free fetal DNA and erythroblasts in maternal circulation in women with preeclampsia compared with those with normal pregnancy. Pluripotent and immunocompetent fetal cells also transfer to the maternal circulation during pregnancy, but whether concentrations of fetal mononuclear cells also differed in preeclampsia was unknown. We sought to q...
متن کامل[Fetal microchimerism and autoimmune disease].
Microchimerism is defined by the presence of circulating cells, bi-directionally transferred from one genetically distinct individual to another. The acquisition and persistence of fetal cell microchimerism, small numbers of genetically disparate cells from the fetus in the mother, is now a well-recognized consequence of normal pregnancy. Some of the autoimmune diseases that show a predilection...
متن کاملFetal microchimerism in mouse caerulein-induced pancreatitis model
Objective(s): Fetal microchimerism is the persistence of allogeneic cell population that transfer from the fetus to the mother. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of fetal microchimerism in the pancreas of the mouse with acute pancreatitis (AP).Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, female wild-type mice were mated with male EGFP+. AP model was obtained by injection ...
متن کاملFetal microchimerism in women with breast cancer.
Fetal microchimerism (FMc) describes long-term persistence of small numbers of fetal-derived allogeneic cells in the mother. Although FMc has been implicated as a mechanism of autoimmune disease, it may confer a beneficial effect with immune surveillance of malignant cells. We hypothesized that allogeneic FMc imparts a protective effect against breast cancer. Two observations provided a rationa...
