Syncytiotrophoblast‐derived extracellular vesicles carry apolipoprotein‐E and affect lipid synthesis of liver cells in vitro
10 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
In normal pregnancy, hepatic metabolism adaptation occurs with an increase in lipid biosynthesis. Placental shedding of syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (STBEVs) into the maternal circulation constitutes a major signalling mechanism between foetus and mother. We investigated whether STBEVs from normal pregnant women might target liver cells in vitro and induce changes in lipid synthesis. This...
