Chemokine CXCL16, a scavenger receptor, induces proliferation and invasion of first-trimester human trophoblast cells in an autocrine manner
23 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate whether CXCL16/CXCR6, a newly identified chemokine pair, is expressed in first-trimester human placenta and whether they affect the trophoblast cell biology, since we have found CXCR6 highly transcribed in first-trimester human trophoblast cells previously. METHODS: We analysed the transcription and translation of CXCR6 and CXCL16 in purified first-trimester...
