Project description:To better understand how DNA methylation influences placentation, DNA from first trimester primary trophoblast populations (side-population trophoblasts, cytotrophoblasts and extravillous trophoblasts) isolated using FACS underwent reduced representation bisulfite sequencing and were compared to publicly available data of blastocyst-derived and somatic cell populations.

Project description:In this work, we have isolated a Hoescht side-population of trophoblasts from first trimester human placentae that cluster separately from more differentiated trophoblast populations, and have a transcriptomic profile indicative of a stem cell population. Hoescht side-population cells were compared in quintuplicate with extravillous trophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts extracted from the same placentae, giving a total of 15 samples.

Project description:Invasion of cytotrophoblasts into uterine tissues is essential for placental development. To identify molecules regulating trophoblast invasion, mRNA signatures of purified villous (CTB, poor invasiveness) and extravillous (EVT, high invasiveness) trophoblasts isolated from first trimester human placentae and villous explant cultures, respectively, were compared using GeneChip analyses yielding 991 invasion/migration related transcripts. Several genes involved in physiological and pathologic cell invasion, including ADAM-12,-19,-28 as well as Spondin-2, were upregulated in EVT. Pathway prediction analyses identified several functional modules associated with either the invasive or the non-invasive trophoblast phenotype. One of the genes which were downregulated in the invasive mRNA pool, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), was selected for functional analyses. Real-time PCR analyses, Western blottting, and immunofluorescene of first trimester placentae and differentiating villous explant cultures demonstrated downregulation of HO-1 in invasive EVT as compared to CTB. Modulation of HO-1 expression in loss-of as well as gain-of function cell models (BeWo and HTR8/SVneo, respectively) demonstrated an inverse relationship of HO-1 expression with trophoblast migration in transwell and wound healing assays. Importantly, HO-1 expression led to an increase in protein levels and activity of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARgamma. Pharmacological inhibition of PPARgamma abrogated the inhibitory effects of HO-1 on trophoblast migration. Collectively, our results demonstrate that gene expression profiling of EVT and CTB can be used to unravel novel regulators of cell invasion. Accordingly, we identify heme oxygenase-1 as a negative regulator of trophoblast motility acting via upregulation of PPARgamma. Experiment Overall Design: To identify genes potentially regulating cell invasion trophoblast cells of early human gestation with distinct invasive properties were profiled. Experiment Overall Design: Distinct gene expression signatures of highly invasive EVT (n = 6) and poorly invasive CTB (n = 5) of different first trimester placentae using Affymetrix U133A GeneChips interrogating >20,000 genes were determined.

Project description:Comparison of genes associated with the EMT between cytotrophoblast cells (CTB) and extravillous trophoblast cells (EVT) from normal third trimester placenta and abnormally invasive placenta (AIP)

Project description:During placentation, placental cytotrophoblast cells differentiate into syncytiotrophoblast cells and extravillous trophoblast cells. In placenta, the expression of various genes is regulated by the Hippo pathway through the transcriptional coactivator YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity. To examine the effect of YAP/TAZ and/or TEAD on trophoblast differentiation, knockdown experiments were performed. Microarray analysis were performed to identify YAP/TAZ and/or TEAD target genes in human trophoblast.

Project description:Comparison of genes associated with the EMT between undifferentiated cytotrophoblast cells (CTB) and differentiated extravillous trophoblast cells (EVT) from third trimester human placenta. Cells isolated from control (placenta previa) and cases (preeclampsia). Cells isolated by immunomagnetic separation using anti-integrin beta4 antibody to purify CTB and anti-HLA-G antibody to purify EVT.

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:The transformation of cytotrophoblast (CTB) to extravillous trophoblast (EVT) is an essential process for placental implantation. EVT generated at the tips of the anchoring villi migrate away from the placenta and invade the endometrium and maternal spiral arteries, where they modulate maternal immune responses and remodel the arteries into high-volume conduits to facilitate uteroplacental blood flow. The process of EVT differentiation has several factors in common with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) observed in embryonic development, wound healing and cancer metastasis. We hypothesized that the generation of invasive EVT from CTB was a form of EMT. We isolated paired CTB and EVT from first trimester placentae by flow cytometry for integrin beta 4 (CTB) and HLA-G (EVT). We compared their gene expression using a PCR array comprising probes for genes involved in EMT. Out of 84 genes, 24 were down-regulated in EVT compared to CTB, including epithelial markers such as E-cadherin (-11-fold) and occludin (-75-fold). Another 30 genes were up-regulated in EVT compared to CTB including mesenchymal markers such as vimentin (235-fold) and fibronectin (107-fold) as well as the matrix metalloproteinases, MMP2 and MMP9 (357-fold, 129-fold). These alterations also included major increases in the ZEB2 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2, 198-fold) and TCF4 (transcription factor 4, 18-fold) transcription factors, recognized as EMT master regulators, suggesting possible stimulatory mechanisms. There was substantial up-regulation of the genes encoding TGFb1 and TGFb2 (48-fold, 115-fold), which may contribute to the maintenance of the mesenchymal-like phenotype. We conclude that transformation of CTB to EVT is consistent with an EMT, although the differences with other types of EMT suggest this may be a unique form

Project description:We report the single nuclear RNA sequencing analysis for the profiling of trophoblast lineages generated from human embryoinc stem cells (hESCs) in vitro under 20 % and 5 % O2 concentration conditions. The hESCs were exposed to bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) in presence of inhibitors of ACTIVIN/TGFB (A83–01) and FGF2 (PD1730) signaling formerly called BAP treatment for 8 days after passaging, which generated a mixture of cytotrophoblast, syncytiotrophoblast, and HLA-G positive cells with similarities to extravillous trophoblast under both high and low O2 conditions (20 % and 5 %, respectively). A single nuclei RNA sequence approach from both O2 conditions determined two major groupings of cell clusters, one comprised of five and the second of four subcluster cell populations respectively. Of these, two subclusters resembled extravillous trophoblast, two carried the hallmark transcripts of syncytiotrophoblast, while the remaining five were likely different kinds of mononucleated cytotrophoblast.
