Effect of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine on syncytial differentiation and autophagy in primary human trophoblasts
5 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
During placentation, cytotrophoblasts differentiate and fuse to form multinucleated cells (syncytiotrophoblasts) in a process that involves autophagy. Appropriate syncytial differentiation is essential for establishing a healthy pregnancy. In this study, we evaluated the effect of two chloroquine compounds, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ), on syncytial differentiation and autophagy in cultured...
