Involvement of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV in Extravillous Trophoblast Invasion and Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we reported that dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), a membrane-bound peptidase, was expressed on human placental cytotrophoblasts. In the present study, we focused on DPPIV expression on extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs). In the first trimester, DPPIV was expressed in the proximal part of the cell column and some EVTs located in the deep portion of the decidua and myometrium. EVTs migrating in the...
