Sialyl Lewis X mediates interleukin-1 beta-induced trophoblast adhesion to endometrial cells during human embryo implantation
16 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cell surface carbohydrate antigens sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) and Lewis Y (LeY) are paramount glycoconjugates and are abundantly expressed in the receptive endometrium. Furthermore, among the important biological functions of both antigens is their role in leukocytes adhesion and extravasation. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is involved in the process of human embryo implantation and placenta development. Here, we used an...
