Endometrial stromal cells of women with recurrent miscarriage fail to discriminate between high- and low-quality human embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background The aetiology of recurrent miscarriage (RM) remains largely unexplained. Women with RM have a shorter time to pregnancy interval than normally fertile women, which may be due to more frequent implantation of non-viable embryos.

Here and there a trophoblast, a transcriptional evaluation of trophoblast cell models

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2022
Abstract A recent explosion of methods to produce human trophoblasts and stem cells (hTSC) is fuelling a renewed interest in this tissue. The trophoblast is critical to reproduction by facilitating implantation, maternal physiological adaptations to pregnancy and the growth of the fetus through transport of nutrients between the mother and ...

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

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

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Obesogenic Diet in Mice Leads to Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in the Mother in Association with Sex-Specific Changes in Fetal Development, Inflammatory Markers and Placental Transcriptome

open access: yesAntioxidants
Background: Obesity during pregnancy is related to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Factors involved in these outcomes may include increased maternal insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and nutrient mishandling. The placenta is the

Fosl1 overexpression directly activates trophoblast-specific gene expression programs in embryonic stem cells

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2018
During early development in placental mammals, proper trophoblast lineage development is essential for implantation and placentation. Defects in this lineage can cause early pregnancy failures and other pregnancy disorders. However, transcription factors

Trans-differentiation of trophoblast stem cells: implications in placental biology

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2023
Formation of trophendothelial cells is associated with trophoblast differentiation and is regulated by HES1. Trophoblast differentiation–induced TRAIL secretion directs preferential demise of ECs located in their vicinity, aiding trophoblast vasculogenic

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death.

open access: yes, 2007
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss

Malectin Alleviates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via Glycoprotein Quality Control Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Malectin alleviates high glucose‐induced ER stress and damage in placental trophoblasts, a function dependent on its six critical carbohydrate‐binding residues. In a GDM mouse model, administration of TAT‐Malectin ameliorated hyperglycemia and placental ER stress and prevented fetal macrosomia.

Conserved gene expression patterns in the placenta underlie pregnancy complications associated with hypoxia in mice and humans

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences
During pregnancy hypoxia leads to complications like fetal growth restriction (FGR). Maternal inhalation hypoxia during late murine pregnancy impairs placental phenotype and fetal development in a severity-dependent manner.
