Activin A, B, and AB Increase Human Trophoblast Cell Invasion by Up-regulating N-Cadherin
8 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Inhibin β-subunits and activin receptors are expressed by human trophoblast cells. Although activin A has been shown to enhance human trophoblast cell invasion, whether two additional activin isoforms, activin B and AB, exert similar effects remains unknown. Moreover, whether the expression of mesenchymal adhesion molecule neural cadherin (N-cadherin) is essential for this proinvasive effect of activin...
