Functional regulation of thymic stromal lymphopoietin on proliferation and invasion of trophoblasts in human first-trimester pregnancy
13 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a novel cytokine that triggers the dendritic cell-mediated T(H)2 response and regulatory T cell expansion. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether TSLP and TSLP receptor (TSLPR) are expressed in primary human extravillous trophoblast (EVT), how proimflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-1beta), T(H)2 and T(H)3 cytokines (IL-4, TGF-beta)...
