Interaction of Pregnancy-Specific Glycoprotein 1 With Integrin α5β1 Is a Modulator of Extravillous Trophoblast Functions
31 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) serve immunomodulatory and pro-angiogenic functions during pregnancy and are mainly expressed by syncytiotrophoblast cells. While PSG mRNA expression in extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) was reported, the proteins were not previously detected. By immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting, we show that PSGs are expressed by invasive EVTs and co-localize with integrin 5....
