Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Pivotal role of the transcriptional co-activator YAP in trophoblast stemness of the developing human placenta

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Defects in development and differentiation of the placenta are associated with various pregnancy disorders such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preeclampsia, and intrauterine growth restriction.

Regulation of Placental Development and Its Impact on Fetal Growth—New Insights From Mouse Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The placenta is the chief regulator of nutrient supply to the growing embryo during gestation. As such, adequate placental function is instrumental for developmental progression throughout intrauterine development.

N-glycans of human amniotic fluid transferrin stimulate progesterone production in human first trimester trophoblast cells in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Aims: During pregnancy, the placenta produces a variety of steroid hormones and proteins. Several of these substances have been shown to exert immunomodulatory effects.

Capturing Human Trophoblast Development with Naïve Pluripotent Stem Cells In Vitro

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Trophoblast are extra-embryonic cells that are essential to maintain pregnancy. Human trophoblasts arise from the morula as trophectoderm (TE), which, after implantation, differentiates into cytotrophoblast (CT), syncytiotrophoblast (ST), and ...

Fetal and trophoblast PI3K p110α have distinct roles in regulating resource supply to the growing fetus in mice

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Studies suggest that placental nutrient supply adapts according to fetal demands. However, signaling events underlying placental adaptations remain unknown.

Effects of Circulating and Local Uteroplacental Angiotensin II in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is important during placental development. Dysregulation of the renin-Ang system is important in preeclampsia (PE). Female rats transgenic for the human angiotensinogen gene crossed with males transgenic for the human ...

Cooperation between NSPc1 and DNA methylation represses HOXA11 expression and promotes apoptosis of trophoblast cells during preeclampsia

open access: yesActa Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2023
Accumulating evidence has shown that the apoptosis of trophoblast cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, and an intricate interplay between DNA methylation and polycomb group (PcG) protein-mediated gene silencing has been ...

Caffeine Inhibits EGF-Stimulated Trophoblast Cell Motility through the Inhibition of mTORC2 and Akt. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Impaired trophoblast invasion is associated with pregnancy disorders such as early pregnancy loss and preeclampsia. There is evidence to suggest that the consumption of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss; however, little is
