Syncytin-1 and Glial Cells Missing a: Hypoxia-Induced Deregulated Gene Expression along with Disordered Cell Fusion in Primary Term Human Trophoblasts
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pre-eclampsia, a major cause of perinatal morbidity, is characterized by alterations in placental oxygen availability and trophoblast differentiation. We investigated how different levels of hypoxia alter the expression of syncytin-1, glial cells missing a (GCMa) and syncytin-1 receptor ASCT2 and affect syncytialization in primary term human trophoblasts. METHODS: Cells were incubated at 1, 3, 6...
