Project description:The goal of this this project was to study the transcriptional change when PLAC8-EGFP was over expressed in the trophoblast cell line, HTR8/Svneo.
Project description:Here, we have undertaken comparative label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomic profiling of the proteins expressed in BeWo and HTR8/SVneo cell lines using a mass spectrometry approach. We have identified 1557 proteins in total. 915 proteins were expressed in both cell lines including various transcription factors, chaperones and transport proteins. A further 338 and 304 proteins were uniquely expressed in BeWo and HTR8/SVneo cells respectively. Our bioinformatics analysis reflects the known epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes of these cell models with principal differences in GO observed in ‘Cell junction’, ‘Catenin complex’ as well as ‘Cell adhesion’ and ‘Cell differentiation’. Our novel comparative proteomic analysis of these trophoblastic cell lines will set the stage for the use of trophoblastic cell lines for the study of pregnancy disorders and further research focusing on placental function.
Project description:To investigate the function TET3 in the regulation of DNA methylation, we established HTR8-SVneo cell lines in which target gene has been knocked down by siRNA. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq for three replicates.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare mRNAs expressed by EGF treated HTR-8/SVneo cells to iRNAs expressed in untreated control HTR-8/SVneo cells to identify various genes which play a role during EGF-mediated HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion
Project description:In this study, we investigated the potential downstream target proteins in trophoblasts that were regulated by SIRT1 through modulation of acetylation. To this end, the IP products of SIRT1 in the lysate of human first-trimester villous tissue and HTR8/SVneo cells were subjected to proteomics analyses by LC-MS/MS.
Project description:To investigate the role of METTL3-mediated m6A modification and mRNA translation, we performed m6A-sequencing and Ribosome-nascent chain (RNC)-RNA sequencing in high glucose treated control or METTL3 knockdown HTR8/SVneo cells.
Project description:Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with adverse obstetric and postnatal metabolic health outcomes, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the toxicological pathways by which PM2.5 damaged placental trophoblasts in vivo and in vitro. We confirmed that PM2.5 induced adverse gestational outcomes such as increased fetal mortality rates, decreased fetal number and weight, damaged placental structure, and increased apoptosis of trophoblasts. Additionally, PM2.5 induced dysfunction of the trophoblast cell line HTR8/SVneo, including in its proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration and angiogenesis. Moreover, we comprehensively analyzed the transcriptional landscape of HTR8/SVneo cells exposed to PM2.5 through RNA-Seq and observed that PM2.5 triggered overexpression of pathways involved in oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis to damage HTR8/SVneo cell biological functions through CYP1A1. Mechanistically, PM2.5 stimulated KLF9, a transcription factor identified as binding to CYP1A1 promoter region, which further modulated the CYP1A1-driven downstream phenotypes. Together, this study demonstrated that the KLF9/CYP1A1 axis played a crucial role in the toxic progression of PM2.5 induced adverse pregnancy outcomes, suggesting adverse effects of environmental pollution on pregnant females and putative targeted therapeutic strategies.
Project description:Coumestrol is a potent isoflavone found in spinach and soy. To examine whether consuming large amounts of coumestrol during pregnancy affects the development of the placenta, human trophoblast cells (HTR8/Svneo) were treated with vehicle or coumestrol. Upon treatment, 3,079 genes were differentially regulated.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare miRNAs expressed by EGF treated HTR-8/SVneo cells to miRNAs expressed in untreated control HTR-8/SVneo cells to identify micro RNAs which play a role during EGF-mediated HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion
