Pathogenic brucellae replicate in human trophoblasts.
Brucellae replicate in a vacuole derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in epithelial cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. In animals, trophoblasts are also key cellular targets where brucellae efficiently replicate in association with the ER. Therefore, we investigated the ability of Brucella spp. to infect human trophoblasts using both immortalized and primary trophoblasts. Brucella ...
متن کاملThe Activity of PPAR in Primary Human Trophoblasts Is Enhanced by Oxidized Lipids
The ligand-dependent nuclear receptor PPAR plays an important role in murine and human trophoblast differentiation. Oxidized lipids, which are implicated in the pathophysiology of placental dysfunction, have recently been identified as ligands for PPAR . We therefore hypothesized that oxidized lipids activate PPAR in human trophoblasts and influence placental function. To test our hypothesis, w...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing hormone stimulates expression of leptin, 11beta-HSD2 and syncytin-1 in primary human trophoblasts
BACKGROUND The placental syncytiotrophoblast is the major source of maternal plasma corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the second half of pregnancy. Placental CRH exerts multiple functions in the maternal organism: It induces the adrenal secretion of cortisol via the stimulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone, regulates the timing of birth via its actions in the myometrium and inhibits th...
متن کاملGene targeting in human pluripotent cells.
Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) have the ability to differentiate into any cell type and can generate chimeric mice when transplanted into a host blastocyst. This remarkable potential, together with the development of robust gene targeting strategies in mESCs, were essential for establishing the mouse as the most widely used model organism in biomedical research. Recent advances have allowed...
متن کاملBlastocyst implantation precedes induction of insulin-like growth factor II gene expression in human trophoblasts.
The cytotrophoblast cell population of the human embryonic conceptus proliferates rapidly during the first month following blastocyst implantation. Since the trophectoderm lineage is established in preimplantation morula/blastocysts, the scenario underlying initiation and maintenance of the rapid proliferative phenotype of cytotrophoblasts is a central issue. The insulin-like growth factor II (...
