Maternal circulating syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles contain biologically active 5’-tRNA halves
2019-08-01
Abstract excerpt
The placenta releases syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (STB-EV) into the maternal circulation throughout gestation. STB-EV dependent signalling is believed to contribute to the widespread maternal adaptive physiological changes seen in pregnancy. Transfer RNA (tRNA) halves have been identified in vesicles released from other human and murine organ systems, which alter gene expression in target ce...
