Project description:Human cytotrophoblast organoid cultures were established from the villous trophoblast of first trimester placentas. We analyzed the global expression profile of the cytotrophoblast organoids (CTB-ORG) and compared to the profile of the tissue of origin i.e. villous cytotrophoblast (vCTB) as well as to differentiated syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and placental fibroblasts (FIB).

Project description:Identification of factors in conditioned media of first-trimester placental villous explants.

Identification of factors in conditioned media of first-trimester placental villous explants. Explants were cultured under superoxia (20% O2), 5% CO2 in serum-free DMEM/F12 and treated with recombinant galectin-7 (1ug/ml) or vehicle control (BSA) for 72h.

Project description:We showed that hypoxia directs first trimester primary villous cytotrophoblast (vCTB) differentiation preferentially towards HLAG+ extravillous trophoblast (EVT). Infection of primary vCTB with ARNT-specific shRNA attenuates this effect, suggesting a role of the intact HIF-complex in hypoxia-directed CTB differentiation into EVT.

Project description:Trophoblast organoids derived from placental villi provide a 3D model system of human placental development, but access to first-trimester tissues is limited. Here we report that trophoblast stem cells isolated from naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can efficiently self-organize into 3D stem cell-derived trophoblast organoids (SC-TOs) with a villous architecture similar to primary trophoblast organoids. Single cell transcriptome analysis reveals the presence of distinct cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast clusters and a small cluster of extravillous trophoblasts, which closely correspond to trophoblast identities in the post-implantation embryo. These organoid cultures display clonal X chromosome inactivation patterns previously described in the human placenta. We further demonstrate that SC-TOs exhibit selective vulnerability to emerging pathogens (SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus), which correlates with expression levels of their respective entry factors. The generation of trophoblast organoids from naïve hPSCs provides an accessible 3D model system of the developing placenta and its susceptibility to emerging pathogens.

Project description:Cells in culture will be exposed to S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC), a relevant metabolite of TCE. The first cell line used will be HTR-8/SVneo, originally derived from first trimester female human cytotrophoblast cells and immortalized with simian virus 40 large T antigen, this cell line models first-trimester placental extravillous trophoblasts in vitro. HTR-8/SVneo cells will be cultured for 24 hours followed by exposure to cell culture media (control) or 20 µM DCVC for 6 or 12 hours. Cells (cells frozen in cell culture dish) will then be collected (n=5) In the TCE aim of this study, we will utilize one cell model that phenotypically represents an important placental cell population.

Project description:Reduced or absent cytotrophoblast invasion of the maternal uterine spiral arteries is a common clinical finding in studies of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, suggesting that the mechanisms behind invasion of these cells is perturbed. The placenta initially develops in a low oxygen environment of 1-2% oxygen until after the 10th week of pregnancy. During this time oxygen concentration exerts a major influence over trophoblast activity and, in vitro, hypoxia inducible factors are proposed to be one of many key regulators of first trimester trophoblast behaviour. We used a global gene expression microarray approach to identify signalling pathways involved in invasion of the first trimester trophoblast cell line HTR8/SVneo under hypoxic conditions where HIF-1 was active. Additionally, first trimester placental samples from different gestational age groups were labelled with anti HIF-1 and HIF-2 to evaluate whether HIFs are differentially expressed and localised across the period of development characterised by hypoxia (6-8 weeks) and maternal blood perfusion (10-12 weeks). Eighty-eight genes were differentially expressed between cells cultured in 1% oxygen (where HIF-1 was localised to the nucleus) and 5% oxygen (where HIF-1 was cytoplasmic). 65% of the genes were predicted to contain HIF-1α:ARNT transcription factor binding sites. Increased nuclear localisation of HIF-1α was seen in extravillous cytotrophoblasts in early first trimester compared with late, while cellular expression of HIF-2α in the villous stroma was higher in late first trimester. While HIFs and their downstream targets are clearly induced in trophoblasts during early placental development, and in vitro hypoxic conditions, the mechanism and pathways by which invasion is increased under hypoxic conditions is not clear from the gene expression profile. Further insight beyond the transcription level is required to fully understand this complex phenomenon.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) is the leading cause of prenatal morbidity and mortality. It is associated with defective trophoblast functions at implantation, but manifestation of its phenotypes is in late pregnancy. There is no reliable method for early prediction and treatment of PE. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is an abundant placental peptide in early pregnancy. Here, integrated single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics confirm a high ADM expression in the human villous cytotrophoblast. The levels of ADM in chorionic villi and serum were lower in first-trimester pregnant women who later developed PE than those with normotensive pregnancy. ADM stimulates differentiation of trophoblast stem cells and trophoblast organoids in vitro. In pregnant mice, placenta-specific ADM suppression led to PE-like phenotypes. The PE-like phenotypes in a mouse PE model were reduced by a novel placenta-specific nanoparticle-based forced expression of ADM. Our study reveals the roles of trophoblastic ADM in placental development, PE pathogenesis and its potential clinical uses.

Project description:In this study, we isolated human villous stromal cells (STRs), CTBs, the STB, and EVTs at the first and second trimester of pregnancy and monitored the transcriptome dynamics of 1567 cells at single-cell resolution. We identified 14 subtypes of placental cells and characterized their functions, especially the unexpected secretion of 102 polypeptide hormone using bioinformatics analyses and immnunostaining verifications. Our study builds a strong foundation for understanding how the human placenta develops and functions to maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Project description:During pregnancy, trophoblast cells in the placenta are the only fetal cells in direct contact with the maternal blood and decidua. They have many functions, including transport of nutrients and oxygen, remodelling the uterine arteries, and communicating with maternal cells. Despite their importance in development and in the success of pregnancy, little is known about human trophoblast progenitors and their differentiation. We identify a proliferative trophoblast niche at the base of cytotrophoblast cell columns in first trimester placentas that is characterised by integrin α2 (ITGA2) expression. Pulse-chase experiments with 5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IdU) imply that these cells can contribute to both villous and extravillous lineages. Importantly, these cells can be isolated by ITGA2 using flow cytometry and express genes from both VCT and EVT. Microarray shows that they display a unique gene signature including NOTCH signalling and mesenchymal characteristics. ITGA2 allows for the first time the study of a pure population of trophoblast progenitor cells.
