Macrophages represent the second major type of decidual leukocytes at the fetomaternal interface. Changes in macrophage number and activity are associated with fetal loss and pregnancy complications. Glycodelin-A (GdA) is an abundant glycoprotein in the first-trimester decidua. It is involved in fetomaternal defense and early placental development through its regulatory activities in various immune cells. The N-glycosylation of GdA mediates the binding and therefore the activities of the molecule. In this study, we studied the biological activities of GdA in the functions of human monocytes/macrophages. GdA was purified from amniotic fluid by affinity chromatography. GdA treatment did not affect the viability, cell death, or phagocytic activity of the monocytes/macrophages. GdA, but not recombinant glycodelin without glycosylation, induced IL-6 production as demonstrated by cytokine array, intracellular staining, and ELISA. GdA also induced phosphorylation of ERK in monocytes/macrophages. The involvement of ERKs in IL-6 induction was confirmed using pharmacological inhibitors. Co-immunoprecipitation showed that L-selectin on the monocytes/macrophages was the binding protein of GdA. Treatment with anti-L-selectin antibody reduced GdA binding and GdA-induced IL-6 production. GdA-treated macrophages suppressed IFN-γ expression by co-cultured T-helper cells in an IL-6-dependent manner. These results show that GdA interacts with L-selectin to induce IL-6 production in monocytes/macrophages by activating the ERK signaling pathway. In turn, the increased IL-6 production suppresses IFN-γ expression in T-helper cells, which may play an important role in inducing a Th-2-polarized cytokine environment that flavors the immunotolerance of the fetoplacental unit. 相似文献

Adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2), also referred to as intermedin (IMD), is expressed in trophoblast cells in human placenta and enhances the invasion and migration of first-trimester HTR-8SV/neo cells. Further infusion of ADM2 antagonist in pregnant rat causes fetoplacental growth restriction, suggesting a role for ADM2 in maintaining a successful pregnancy. This study was undertaken to assess whether ADM2 protein is present in decidual tissue and colocalized with HLA-G-positive cytotrophoblast cells and natural killer cells; to assess whether ADM2 regulates expression of HLA-G in trophoblast cells; and to identify whether mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is involved in ADM2-induced trophoblast cell invasion and migration. Using immunohistochemical methods and RT-PCR, this study shows that ADM2 protein is colocalized with HLA-G-expressing cytotrophoblast cells as well as with NCAM1 (CD56) immunoreactivity in human first-trimester decidual tissue, and that ADM2 mRNA is expressed in peripheral blood natural killer cells. Further, ADM2 dose dependently increases the expression of HLA-G antigen in HTR-8SV/neo cells as well as in term placental villi explants, suggesting involvement of ADM2 in the regulation of HLA-G in trophoblast cells. In addition, interference with the activity of RAF and MAPK3/1 by their inhibitors, manumycin and U0126, respectively, reduces ADM2-induced HTR-8SV/neo cell invasion and migration. In summary, this study suggests a potential involvement for ADM2 in regulating HLA-G antigen at the maternal-fetal interface in human pregnancy and facilitating trophoblast invasion and migration via MAPK3/1 phosphorylation. 相似文献

Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor regulates human extravillous cytotrophoblast development during conversion to the invasive phenotype 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Cytotrophoblasts of the anchoring villi convert during human placentation from a transporting epithelium to an invasive, extravillous phenotype that expresses a distinct repertoire of adhesion molecules. Developing extravillous trophoblasts accumulate heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), a multifunctional cytokine, which binds HER1 and HER4 of the human EGF receptor (HER/ErbB) family. HB-EGF is downregulated in placentae of women with preeclampsia, a disorder associated with deficient trophoblast invasion, raising important questions about its physiological impact on cytotrophoblasts. Addition of HB-EGF during explant culture of first-trimester chorionic villi enhanced extravillous trophoblast differentiation and invasive activity. Using a first-trimester human cytotrophoblast line, the potential for autocrine and paracrine regulation of the developing trophoblast was established based on the expression of all four HER isoforms, as well as HB-EGF and related growth factors. HB-EGF did not alter proliferation, but initiated extravillous differentiation, with decreased alpha6 integrin expression, increased alpha1, and elevated cell migration. Function-blocking antibodies against EGF family members reduced basal cell motility and antibody inhibition of either HER1 or HER4 ligation prevented HB-EGF-induced integrin switching. We conclude that HER-mediated autocrine and paracrine signaling by HB-EGF or other EGF family members induces cytotrophoblast differentiation to an invasive phenotype. 相似文献

SWAP-70 has been demonstrated as a multiple functional signaling protein involved in formation of membrane ruffling induced by signal cascade of tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors. In the present study, the spatial and temporal expression pattern of SWAP-70 on human fetomaternal interface was investigated using specimens collected from tubal and normal pregnancies by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. Data showed an intense expression of SWAP-70 in trophoblasts at weeks 3-6 of fallopian implantation and at weeks 6-7 of normal pregnancy. The most intense expression was exhibited by those highly motile and invasive extravillous trophoblasts. From gestational week 8 on, the level of SWAP-70 in trophoblasts decreased significantly, and the signal was restricted in villous cytotrophoblast cells. In the in vitro cultured human trophoblast cell line, B6Tert-1, colocalization of SWAP-70 with F-actin was verified. Data in human placenta were similar to what we recently reported on rhesus monkey fetomaternal interface. Our results suggest that SWAP-70 may be involved in regulating migration and invasion of trophoblast cells during the processes of embryonic implantation and placentation in primates. 相似文献

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) increases human trophoblast motility and invasion, an effect which is abrogated when inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is inhibited. In this study we have investigated the pathways involved in the regulation of trophoblast motility. Both basal and HGF-stimulated motility of the extravillous trophoblast cell line, SGHPL-4, were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3-kinase) inhibitor, LY294002. HGF-stimulated iNOS expression was also inhibited by LY294002 and direct activation of PI3-kinase, using the peptide 740Y-P, led to an increase in iNOS expression and cell motility. Pretreatment with rapamycin, which acts at a point distal to PI3-kinase activation, also inhibited basal and HGF-stimulated motility. Inhibition of the p42/p44 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway but not the p38 MAPK pathway had significant inhibitory effects on HGF-stimulated but not basal trophoblast motility. Inhibition of p42/p44 MAPK also inhibited HGF-induced iNOS expression. This data demonstrate that the PI3-kinase signaling pathway is involved in basal trophoblast motility and that both MAPK and PI3-kinase signaling pathways are important in HGF-stimulated motility and iNOS expression. 相似文献

Blastocyst implantation and placentation require molecular and cellular interactions between the uterine endometrium and blastocyst trophectoderm. Previous studies showed that histamine produced in the mouse uterine luminal epithelium interacts with trophoblast histamine type-2 receptors (H2) to initiate blastocyst implantation. However, it is unknown whether similar histamine activity is operative in humans. Using a human cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) derived from first-trimester cytotrophoblasts that expresses both histamine type-1 receptor (H1) and H2, we found that histamine promotes cytotrophoblast invasiveness specifically through activation of H1. Stimulation of H1 in human cytotrophoblasts by histamine induced intracellular Ca2+ (Ca(2+)i) transients by activating phospholipase C and the inositol trisphosphate pathway. The enhanced invasion induced by histamine was blocked by pretreatment with H1 antagonist or by chelation of Ca(2+)i. These findings suggest possible differences between rodents and humans in histamine signaling to the trophoblast. 相似文献

Human trophoblast progenitor cells differentiate via two distinct pathways, to become the highly invasive extravillous cytotrophoblast (CTB) cells (EVT) or fuse to form syncytiotrophoblast. Inadequate trophoblast differentiation results in poor placenta perfusion, or even complications such as pre-eclampsia (PE). Cullin1 (CUL1), a scaffold protein in cullin-based ubiquitin ligases, plays an important role in early embryonic development. However, the role of CUL1 in trophoblast differentiation during placenta development has not been examined. Here we show that CUL1 was expressed in CTB cells and EVT in the first trimester human placentas by immunohistochemistry. CUL1 siRNA significantly inhibited outgrowth of extravillous explants in vitro, as well as invasion and migration of HTR8/SVneo cells of EVT origin. This inhibition was accompanied by decreased gelatinolytic activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and increased expression of tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP-1 and -2). Consistently, exogenous CUL1 promoted invasion and migration of HTR8/SVneo cells. Notably, CUL1 was gradually decreased during trophoblast syncytialization and CUL1 siRNA significantly enhanced forskolin-induced fusion of choriocarcinoma BeWo cells. CUL1 protein levels in human pre-eclamptic placental villi were significantly lower as compared to their matched control placentas. Taken together, our results suggest that CUL1 promotes human trophoblast cell invasion and dysregulation of CUL1 expression may be associated with PE. 相似文献

We report the expression cloning of a novel leptin-binding protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily (OB-BP1) and a cross-hybridizing clone (OB-BP2) that is identical to a recently described sialic acid-binding I-type lectin called Siglec-5. Comparisons to other known Siglec family members (CD22, CD33, myelin-associated glycoprotein, and sialoadhesin) show that OB-BP1, OB-BP2/Siglec-5, and CD33/Siglec-3 constitute a unique related subgroup with a high level of overall amino acid identity: OB-BP1 versus Siglec-5 (59%), OB-BP1 versus CD33 (63%), and OB-BP2/Siglec-5 versus CD33 (56%). The cytoplasmic domains are not as highly conserved, but display novel motifs which are putative sites of tyrosine phosphorylation, including an immunoreceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory motif and a motif found in SLAM and SLAM-like proteins. Human tissues showed high levels of OB-BP1 mRNA in placenta and moderate expression in spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, and small intestine. OB-BP2/Siglec-5 mRNA was detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, spleen, and placenta. A monoclonal antibody specific for OB-BP1 confirmed high expression in the cyto- and syncytiotrophoblasts of the placenta. Using this antibody on peripheral blood leukocytes showed an almost exclusive expression pattern on B cells. Recombinant forms of the extracellular domains of OB-BP1, OB-BP2/Siglec-5, and CD33/Siglec-3 were assayed for specific binding of leptin. While OB-BP1 exhibited tight binding (K(d) 91 nM), the other two showed weak binding with K(d) values in the 1-2 microM range. Studies with sialylated ligands indicated that OB-BP1 selectively bound Neu5Acalpha2-6GalNAcalpha (sialyl-Tn) allowing its formal designation as Siglec-6. The identification of OB-BP1/Siglec-6 as a Siglec family member, coupled with its restricted expression pattern, suggests that it may mediate cell-cell recognition events by interacting with sialylated glycoprotein ligands expressed on specific cell populations. We also propose a role for OB-BP1 in leptin physiology, as a molecular sink to regulate leptin serum levels. 相似文献

Pre-eclampsia is associated with inadequate cytotrophoblast invasion and remodeling of the uterine spiral arterioles, as well as by an aberrant maternal immune response. This study determined the effect of activated macrophages and one of its products, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, on cytotrophoblast invasiveness. Coculture with human lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages decreased the ability of immortalized HTR-8/ SVneo human trophoblast cells to invade through reconstituted extracellular matrix (P < 0.05). This effect of activated macrophages on trophoblast invasiveness was paralleled by abrogation of a 55-kDa caseinolytic activity corresponding to prourokinase plasminogen activator (pro-uPA) and an increased secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1), as determined by gel zymography and ELISA, respectively. Coculture with nonactivated macrophages did not significantly affect trophoblast invasiveness or pro-uPA and PAI1 secretion. Activated macrophages secreted detectable levels of TNF, and administration of exogenous TNF significantly decreased trophoblast invasiveness (P < 0.05), increased the secretion of PAI1 (P < 0.01), and completely inhibited the pro-uPA-associated caseinolytic activity by binding to the TNF receptor 1. Moreover, addition of up to 10 ng/ml of TNF did not increase the rate of apoptosis in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Finally, the increased secretion of PAI1 by trophoblast cells cocultured with activated macrophages was significantly inhibited when a neutralizing anti-TNF antibody was added to the cocultures. These results suggest that the aberrant presence of activated macrophages around uterine vessels may contribute to inadequate trophoblast invasion and remodeling of the uterine spiral arterioles. Thus, the presence of activated macrophages may be important in the etiology of pre-eclampsia. 相似文献

Successful pregnancy depends on the precise regulation of extravillous trophoblast cell invasion ability. MicroRNA‐210‐3p (miR‐210), which is increased in the placenta of pre‐eclampsia. Furthermore, miR‐210 could inhibit trophoblasts invasion and might act as a serum biomarker for pre‐eclampsia. Previous studies have demonstrated that miR‐210 regulates HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell)‐mediated angiogenesis by regulating the NOTCH1 signaling pathway. Studies by our group have previously identified that NOTCH1 plays a positive role in regulating trophoblast functions. However, the miR‐210/NOTCH1 signaling pathway in the regulation of trophoblasts and pre‐eclampsia has not been characterized. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the role of miR‐210 and its relationship with NOTCH1 in trophoblasts. We first examined the expression levels of miR‐210 and NOTCH1 in pre‐eclamptic and normals placentas. Next, the expression and location of miR‐210 and NOTCH1 in the first‐trimester villi, maternal decidua, and placenta of late pregnancy were shown via in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. The trophoblast cell line HTR‐8/SVneo was used to investigate the effects of miR‐210 on the expression of NOTCH1 and cell bioactivity by upregulation and downregulation strategies. The results showed that miR‐210 expression was increased, whereas NOTCH1 expression was decreased in pre‐eclamptic placenta compared with controls. Upregulation of miR‐210 decreased NOTCH1 expression, impaired HTR‐8/SVneo proliferation, migration, invasion, and tube‐like formation capabilities, and promoted apoptosis. In contrast, downregulation of miR‐210 resulted in the opposite effects. These findings suggested that miR‐210 might act as a contributor to trophoblast dysfunction by attenuating NOTCH1 expression. 相似文献
