I-6: Remodelling Uterine Spiral Arteries inPregnancy
Background: During the first trimester of pregnancy the uterine spiral arteries that supply blood to the placenta are remodelled, creating heavily dilated conduits lacking maternal vasomotor control. To effect permanent vasodilatation, the internal elastic lamina and medial elastic fibres must be degraded. Failure of remodelling is a key characteristic of the pathological placenta and is though...
متن کاملHCG increases trophoblast migration in vitro via the insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6 phosphate receptor.
We have previously shown that both HCG and insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) stimulate trophoblastic invasion. Furthermore, the invasion-promoting function of IGF-II resulted from IGF-II mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF-II/M6PR) activation. Since HCG and IGF-II did not have an additive effect on cell migration of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell line, HTR-8 SVneo, we hypothesized that ...
متن کاملThe effect of heat shock protein 27 on extravillous trophoblast differentiation and on eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E expression.
Heat shock protein (HSP27) is expressed in human placentae. Previously, we showed that HSP27 is expressed in the villous cell column of first trimester placental explants and in extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells. EVT differentiation is accompanied by increased motility, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, decreased proliferation and expression of specific markers such as HLAG and CD9. H...
متن کاملANTISENSE RNA TO THE TYPE I INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR REVERSED THE TRANSFORMED PHENOTYPE OF PC-3 HUMAN PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINE IN VITRO
The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...
متن کاملI-7: Maternal Signalling to the Placenta
Background: Though it is well established that maternal blood-borne signals influence highly the growth of the placenta, the mechanisms are not known. In vitro trophoblast culture models are limited by an inability to reconstruct the polarised bilayer of the human hemochorial placenta. We have used a first trimester villous tissue explant system to investigate how growth factors interact with p...
