Faulty oxygen sensing disrupts angiomotin function in trophoblast cell migration and predisposes to preeclampsia
17 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human placenta development and a successful pregnancy is incumbent upon precise oxygen-dependent control of trophoblast migration/invasion. Persistent low oxygen leading to failed trophoblast invasion promotes inadequate spiral artery remodeling, a characteristic of preeclampsia. Angiomotin (AMOT) is a multifaceted scaffolding protein involved in cell polarity and migration, yet its upstream regulation and...
