CXCL12/CXCR4 Axis Triggers the Activation of EGF Receptor and ERK Signaling Pathway in CsA-Induced Proliferation of Human Trophoblast Cells

Introduction

Our previous study has demonstrated Cyclosporin A (CsA) promotes the proliferation of human trophoblast cells. Therefore, we further investigate the intracellular signaling pathway involved in the CsA-induced proliferation of human trophoblast cells.

Methods

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to evaluate the regulation of CsA on CXCL12 secretion in human trophoblast cells. Immunofluorescence analysis and western blotting analysis were used to investigate the role of CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in the CsA-induced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation in human trophoblast cells. 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) cell proliferation assay was performed to analyze the involvement of EGFR and its downstream extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in the CsA-induced proliferation of human trophoblast cells.

Results

Low concentration of CsA promoted the secretion of CXCL12, and recombinant human CXCL12 promoted the phosphorylation of EGFR in primary human trophoblast cells and choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3. The inhibition of CXCL12 or CXCR4 by either neutralizing antibodies or small interfering RNA (siRNA) could completely block the CsA-induced EGFR phosphorylation. The CsA-induced proliferation of human trophoblast cells was effectively abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 as well as the ERK inhibitor U0126, but not by the PI3K/PKB inhibitor {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY294002","term_id":"1257998346","term_text":"LY294002"}}LY294002. CsA promoted the activation of ERK in JEG-3 cells, which was markedly abrogated in the presence of CXCL12 siRNA, or CXCR4 siRNA, or AG1478.

Conclusions

CsA may promote EGFR activation via CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, and EGFR downstream ERK signaling pathway may be involved in the CsA-induced proliferation of human trophoblast cells.     

A simple in vivo approach to investigate invasive trophoblast cells

Intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion is an essential part of hemochorial placentation. Aberrant trophoblast cell invasion has been associated with pathologies including preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. In this study, we describe an in vivo method to assess trophoblast cell invasion using a transgenic rat model, constitutively expressing heat stable human placental alkaline phosphatase (Rosa 26 promoter driven human placental alkaline phosphatase, R26-hAP). Wild-type female Fischer 344 inbred rats were mated with hemizygous R26-hAP transgenic male Fischer 344 rats and sacrificed during the second half of pregnancy. Heat stable alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity associated with the invasive transgenic trophoblast cells was monitored in the wild-type uterine mesometrial compartment and used as an index of trophoblast cell invasion. The expression pattern of cytokeratins by invasive trophoblast cells mimicked the uterine mesometrial distribution of AP activity. Trophoblast cell invasion exhibited a gestation-dependent profile with peak invasion between days 18-20 of pregnancy. In summary, we have devised a simple in vivo method for assessing intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion. This technique should facilitate the discovery of endogenous regulatory mechanisms controlling trophoblast cell invasion and should represent an effective method of testing the impact of various environmental stressors on an essential part of hemochorial placentation.     

NOD1配体抑制人早孕期滋养细胞的侵袭功能

目的:明确固有免疫受体NOD1对人早孕期滋养细胞侵袭功能的调控及对侵袭相关因子分泌的影响。方法:采用免疫细胞化学法鉴定原代滋养细胞NOD1的表达,用transwell侵袭实验检测激活NOD1后滋养细胞侵袭功能的改变,ELISA检测配体刺激后滋养细胞MMP2和MMP9的分泌情况。结果:免疫细胞化学结果显示滋养细胞分离鉴定成功,且原代滋养细胞可以表达固有免疫受体NOD1。使用NOD1的特异性配体及非特异性配体,发现激活NOD1可以抑制滋养细胞的侵袭,且非特异性配体LPS可以下调侵袭相关金属基质蛋白酶分子MMP2和MMP9的分泌,特异性配体i E-DAP仅下调MMP9的分泌而对MMP2的分泌无影响。结论:固有免疫模式识别受体NOD1可以在早孕期滋养细胞表达,可调控滋养细胞的侵袭功能,其激活会导致侵袭相关分子MMP2和MMP9的分泌下降。     

Peptide patterns of laser dissected human trophoblasts analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry

This study describes the first promising steps in the comparison of peptide patterns of laser capture microdissected trophoblast cells obtained from frozen tissue sections in relative low numbers, approximately 125 cells. Trophoblasts were collected by laser capture microdissection from a terme human placenta and dissolved in detergents, sonified, and digested with trypsin. The resulting peptide mixtures were directly analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry. Using this approach specific peptide patterns that consist on average of approximately 35 peptide peaks for trophoblast cells, and surrounding villous stroma cells could be obtained. From the results it was concluded that trophoblast and surrounding villous stroma cells show exclusive discriminating peptide patterns. In the future this method is potentially suitable for finding specific peptides and identification of proteins that are related to the pathogenesis of trophoblast pregnancy diseases such as preeclampsia.     

Role of integrin switch and transforming growth factor Beta 3 in hypoxia-induced invasion inhibition of human extravillous trophoblast cells

The physiological hypoxic condition favors the angiogenesis in the placenta. However, it remains unclear how hypoxia regulates the invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells. In the present study, we first showed that alpha5 integrin expression increased and alpha1 integrin expression decreased in human extravillous trophoblast cells cultured in 1% oxygen as compared with control cells cultured in 8% oxygen. Further data showed that the neutralizing antibody against alpha5 integrin increased the invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells and the neutralizing antibody against alpha1 integrin inhibited the invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells. Human extravillous trophoblast cells cultured in 1% oxygen showed reduced invasive capacity, which can be effectively blocked by alpha5 integrin neutralizing antibody. Moreover, human extravillous trophoblast cells exposed to 1% oxygen demonstrated increased expression of transforming growth factor-beta3 (TGFB3), and recombinant human TGFB3 inhibited the invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells in a dose-dependent manner. The neutralizing antibodies against alpha5 integrin and TGFB3 markedly abrogated hypoxia-induced invasion inhibition in human extravillous trophoblast cells. These data indicate that hypoxia may inhibit the invasion of human extravillous trophoblast cells through inducing the integrin switch from alpha1 integrin to alpha5 integrin and promoting TGFB3 expression.     

The chemokines, CX3CL1, CCL14, and CCL4, promote human trophoblast migration at the feto-maternal interface

Human embryo implantation is a complex process involving blastocyst attachment to the endometrial epithelium and subsequent trophoblast invasion of the decidua. Chemokines, critical regulators of leukocyte migration, are abundant in endometrial epithelial and decidual cells at this time. We hypothesized that endometrial chemokines stimulate trophoblast invasion. Chemokine receptors CX3CR1 and CCR1 were immunolocalized in human first-trimester implantation sites, specifically to endovascular extravillous trophoblasts, but not to the invading interstitial EVTs (iEVTs), with weak staining also on syncytium. CCR3 was localized to invading iEVTs and to microvilli on the syncytial surface. Expression of CX3CL1 (fractalkine), CCL7 (MCP-3), and their receptors (CX3CR1, CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5) mRNA was examined in cellular components of the maternal-embryonic interface by RT-PCR. Both chemokines were abundant in entire endometrium and placenta, endometrial cells (primary cultures and HES, a human endometrial epithelial cell line) and trophoblast cell lines (JEG-3, ACIM-88, and ACIM-32). Chemokine receptor mRNA was expressed by placenta and trophoblast cell lines: CCR1 by all trophoblast cell types, whereas CCR2, CCR3, and CX3CR1 were more variable. CX3CR1, CCR1, CCR2, and CCR5 were also expressed by endometrial cells. Migration assays used the trophoblast cell line most closely resembling extravillous cytotrophoblast (AC1M-88). Trophoblast migration occurred in response to CX3CL1, CCL14, and CCL4, but not CCL7. Endometrial cell-conditioned media also stimulated trophoblast migration; this was attenuated by neutralizing antibodies to CX3CL1 and CCL4. Thus, chemokines are expressed by maternal and embryonic cells during implantation, whereas corresponding receptors are on trophoblast cells. Promotion of trophoblast migration by chemokines and endometrial cell conditioned medium indicates an important involvement of chemokines in maternal-fetal communication.
