Prenatal Endotoxemia and Placental Drug Transport in The Mouse: Placental Size-Specific Effects
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in high doses inhibits placental multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp--Abcb1a/b) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP--Abcg2). This potentially impairs fetal protection against harmful factors in the maternal circulation. However, it is unknown whether LPS exposure, at doses that mimic sub-lethal clinical infection, alters placental multidrug resistance. We h...
متن کاملPlacental-specific Igf2 knockout mice exhibit hypocalcemia and adaptive changes in placental calcium transport.
Evidence is emerging that the ability of the placenta to supply nutrients to the developing fetus adapts according to fetal demand. To examine this adaptation further, we tested the hypothesis that placental maternofetal transport of calcium adapts according to fetal calcium requirements. We used a mouse model of fetal growth restriction, the placental-specific Igf2 knockout (P0) mouse, shown p...
متن کاملPlacental-specific expression from the mouse placental lactogen II gene promoter.
The gene for mouse placental lactogen II (mPL-II) has been isolated and characterized. This gene contains five exons, with a transcription start site 59 nucleotides upstream of the translation initiation ATG. Introduction of a DNA construct containing 2.7 kilobases of sequence upstream of the mPL-II transcription initiation site directed the synthesis of a linked coding region for the simian vi...
متن کاملPlacental amino acid transport.
Normal fetal growth and development depend on a continuous supply of amino acids from the mother to the fetus. The placenta is responsible for the transfer of amino acids between the two circulations. The human placenta is hemomonochorial, meaning that the maternal and fetal circulations are separated by a single layer of polarized epithelium called the syncytiotrophoblast, which is in direct c...
متن کاملOptimal Transport and Placental Function
The human newborn is a reflection of the entirety of nutrients transferred from the maternal to the fetal circulation across the placenta during gestation. By extension, birth weight and newborn health depend on placental function. The goal of this paper is to introduce the use of optimal transport modeling to study the expected effects of (i) placental size, (ii) placental shape (separate from...
