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 کاملHypoxia alters the epigenetic profile in cultured human placental trophoblasts.
The mechanisms by which the placenta adapts to exogenous stimuli to create a stable and healthy environment for the growing fetus are not well known. Low oxygen tension influences placental function, and is associated with preeclampsia, a condition displaying altered development of placental trophoblast. We hypothesized that oxygen tension affects villous trophoblast by modulation of gene expre...
متن کاملDynamin 2 regulates riboflavin endocytosis in human placental trophoblasts.
Riboflavin is thoroughly established to be indispensable in a multitude of cellular oxidation-reduction reactions through its conversion to coenzyme forms flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide. Despite its physiological importance, little is known about specific mechanisms or proteins involved in regulating its cellular entry in humans. Studies involving biochemical modulators a...
متن کاملSaturated fatty acids enhance TLR4 immune pathways in human trophoblasts.
STUDY QUESTION What are the effects of fatty acids on placental inflammatory cytokine with respect to toll-like receptor-4/nuclear factor-kappa B (TLR4/NF-kB)? SUMMARY ANSWER Exogenous fatty acids induce a pro-inflammatory cytokine response in human placental cells in vitro via activation of TLR4 signaling pathways. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The placenta is exposed to changes in circulating mat...
