Extracellular Matrix Composition and Hypoxia Regulate the Expression of HLA-G and Integrins in a Human Trophoblast Cell Line1
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
During human placentation, extravillous cytotrophoblast cells emerge from chorionic villi contacting the decidua to invade the uterine wall. When isolated from first-trimester placentae, cytotrophoblast cells undergo step-wise differentiation in vitro that recapitulates the phenotypic heterogeneity observed in vivo. We examined a cell line, HTR-8/SVneo, that has been established from human first-trimester...
