Involvement of Transcription Factor NR2F2 in Human Trophoblast Differentiation
BACKGROUND During the in vitro differentiation of human villous cytotrophoblast (CTB) cells to a syncytiotrophoblast (STB) phenotype, mRNA levels for the nuclear hormone receptor NR2F2 (ARP-1, COUP-TFII) increase rapidly, reaching a peak at day 1 of differentiation that is 8.8-fold greater than that in undifferentiated CTB cells. To examine whether NR2F2 is involved in the regulation of villous...
متن کاملCritical role for transcription factor AP-2alpha in human trophoblast differentiation.
To examine whether AP-2alpha is a critical component of the genetic program that directs human trophoblast differentiation, we used DNA microarray analyses to characterize the effects of a dominant-negative form of the AP-2 protein upon in vitro differentiating cytotrophoblast cells. Human cytotrophoblast cells (>95% pure) were cultured for 3 days in the presence of control medium or medium con...

متن کاملTranscription factor AP2 regulates human inhibin α subunit gene expression during in vitro trophoblast differentiation.
During human trophoblast differentiation, inhibin α subunit mRNA expression and protein secretion are increased. To understand how inhibin α subunit gene was regulated during syncytialization, we firstly cloned the inhibin α promoter and found a region with transcriptional activity related to the differentiation state. In this paper, we identified this protein and defined its DNA-binding site. ...
متن کاملDirect involvement of HERV-W Env glycoprotein in human trophoblast cell fusion and differentiation.
We recently demonstrated that the product of the HERV-W env gene, a retroviral envelope protein also dubbed syncytin, is a highly fusogenic membrane glycoprotein inducing the formation of syncytia on interaction with the type D mammalian retrovirus receptor. In addition, the detection of HERV-W Env protein (Env-W) expression in placental tissue sections led us to propose a role for this fusogen...
