Trophoblasts acquire a chemokine receptor, CCR1, as they differentiate towards invasive phenotype.
At the human feto-maternal interface, trophoblasts differentiate towards extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) and form the cell column. EVTs acquire invasive activity in the distal part of the cell column and begin to migrate into the maternal tissue. We previously reported that dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is expressed on EVTs in the proximal part of cell column and is involved in the inhibitio...
متن کاملHuman cytotrophoblasts adopt a vascular phenotype as they differentiate. A strategy for successful endovascular invasion?
Establishment of the human placenta requires that fetal cytotrophoblast stem cells in anchoring chorionic villi become invasive. These cytotrophoblasts aggregate into cell columns and invade both the uterine interstitium and vasculature, anchoring the fetus to the mother and establishing blood flow to the placenta. Cytotrophoblasts colonizing spiral arterioles replace maternal endothelium as fa...
متن کاملSmall Targets: Why are they So Difficult to Acquire?
Facilitating the acquisition of small targets is an active area of research. Despite the usefulness of the techniques proposed so far, we show why this topic can benefit from more fundamental work. We investigate three factors that might account for the observed drop in performance when selecting small targets: motor accuracy, visual legibility and quantization. Our findings suggest that visual...
متن کاملMolecular cytogenetic studies towards the full karyotype analysis of human blastocysts and cytotrophoblasts.
Numerical chromosome aberrations in gametes typically lead to failed fertilization, spontaneous abortion or a chromosomally abnormal fetus. By means of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), we now can screen human embryos in vitro for aneuploidy before transferring the embryos to the uterus. PGD allows us to select unaffected embryos for transfer and increases the implantation rate in in vit...
متن کاملInvasive Phenotype of Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma
p63 is a member of the p53 family and regulates crucial events in the formation of epithelial structures, but the role of p63 in tumor is unclear. We found that Snail-induced epithelialto-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is accompanied by downregulation of p63 in human squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). #Np63A is the predominantly expressed p63 isoform in SCC cells. DNp63 promoter activity required a ...
