Laminin α4 (LAMA4) expression promotes trophoblast cell invasion, migration, and angiogenesis, and is lowered in preeclamptic placentas
21 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The laminin α4 subunit (LAMA4) has been shown to promote migration, proliferation, and survival of various cell types. This study investigated LAMA4's role in trophoblast cells during placental development. METHODS: LAMA4 expression was immunohistochemically assessed in the first trimester and term human placentas. LAMA4 siRNA was applied to silence LAMA4 expression in extravillous explants and...
