Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the most abundant proteins in neutrophil granules. It catalyzes the production of reactive oxygen species, which are important in inflammation and immune defense. MPO also binds to several proteins, lipids, and DNA to alter their function. MPO is present at the feto-maternal interface during pregnancy, where neutrophils are abundant. In this study, we determined the effect of MPO on JEG-3 human choriocarcinoma cells as a model of extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) d ...[more]
