Novel role for PI3Kβ in placental function through regulation of system A amino acid transporter expression, associated with embryonic lethality

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
The placenta is essential for embryonic development, in part by mediating nutrient transfer from mother to embryo. Placental insufficiency is the most common cause of intrauterine growth restriction which has long-term health consequences lasting into ...

Expression of mTOR and downstream signalling components in the JEG-3 and BeWo human placental choriocarcinoma cell lines [PDF]

, 2009
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Emerging data suggest that nutritional status and body weight are related to reproductive function, and nutrient imbalances during pregnancy lead to changes in the ...

TET3‐Mediated m5C Modification of CCAT2 Accelerates Cardiac Microvascular Endothelial Cell Damage in Acute Coronary Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a clinical syndrome involving myocardial ischemia. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of TET3 in ACS‐induced CMEC damage, thereby identifying a new target for ACS treatment. The expression of TET3 in ACS patients and healthy subjects was analyzed.

Alterations in MicroRNA and Cytokine Expressions in Placental and Amniotic Tissues of COVID‐19 Affected Pregnant Women

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has been associated with increased risks of preterm birth and placental complications. We prospectively investigated alterations in microRNAs (miRNAs) and cytokines in placental and amniotic tissues from pregnant women with and without COVID‐19 to evaluate the infection's impact on pregnancy ...

Plac1 Expression Pattern at the Mouse Fetomaternal Interface and Involvement in Trophoblast Differentiation

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: It is well known that Plac1 is a placenta-specific gene; however, its spatiotemporal expression pattern and exact role at t h e mouse fetomaternal interface r e m a i n s unclear. Methods: In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to localize

Expression of connexins in human preimplantation embryos in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Intercellular communication via gap junctions is required to coordinate developmental processes in the mammalian embryo. We have investigated if the connexin (Cx) isoforms known to form gap junctions in rodent preimplantation embryos are also expressed ...

The Association of Pregnancy and Scurvy in Indigenous Women and Their Children From the Late Holocene in California (USA)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited evidence of nutritional deficiencies has been identified in bioarchaeological studies of Native California populations, although isotopic and ethnohistoric research provides evidence of regional, seasonal, and cultural variability in food shortages.

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

TFAP2C is a key regulator of intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion and deep hemochorial placentation

JCI Insight
Transcription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C) has been identified as a key regulator of the trophoblast cell lineage and hemochorial placentation. The rat possesses deep placentation characterized by extensive intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion, which ...

Evaluating the Utility of RNAseq in Prenatal Diagnostics: Expression Profiles of Cultured Chorionic Villus and Amniotic Fluid Samples

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective While RNAseq has enhanced variant interpretation in postnatal cases, its potential in the prenatal setting remains underexplored. This study investigates the utility of RNAseq in prenatal diagnostics by analyzing the expression profiles of cultured chorionic villus samples (cCVS) and amniotic fluid (cAF) samples. Methods We performed
