Serum depletion induces changes in protein expression in the trophoblast-derived cell line HTR-8/SVneo.

ABSTRACT: How nutrition and growth factor restriction due to serum depletion affect trophoblast function remains poorly understood. We performed a proteomic differential study of the effects of serum depletion on a first trimester human immortalized trophoblast cell line.The viability of HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells in culture with 0, 0.5 and 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) were assayed via MTT at 24, 48 and 64 h. A comparative proteomic analysis of the cells grown with those FBS levels for 24 h was performed using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE), followed by mass spectrometry for protein spot identification, and a database search and bioinformatics analysis of the expressed proteins. Differential spots were identified using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (n?=?3, significance level 0.10, D?>?0.642) and/or ANOVA (n?=?3, p?

Project description:Trichloroethylene is an industrial solvent and common environmental pollutant. Despite efforts to ban trichloroethylene, its availability and usage persist globally, constituting a hazard to human health. Recent studies reported associations between maternal trichloroethylene exposure and increased risk for low birth weight. Despite these associations, the toxicological mechanism underlying trichloroethylene adverse effects on pregnancy remains largely unknown. The trichloroethylene metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) induces mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in a trophoblast cell line. To gain further understanding of mitochondrial-mediated DCVC placental toxicity, this study investigated the effects of DCVC exposure on mitochondrial function using non-cytolethal concentrations in placental cells. Human trophoblasts, HTR-8/SVneo, were exposed in vitro to a maximum of 20 μM DCVC for up to 12 h. Cell-based oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification assays were used to evaluate key aspects of mitochondrial function. Following 6 h of exposure to 20 μM DCVC, elevated oxygen consumption, mitochondrial proton leak and sustained energy coupling deficiency were observed. Similarly, 12 h of exposure to 20 μM DCVC decreased mitochondrial-dependent basal, ATP-linked and maximum oxygen consumption rates. Using the fluorochrome TMRE, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential was detected after a 12-h exposure to 20 μM DCVC, and (±)-α-tocopherol, a known suppressor of lipid peroxidation, attenuated DCVC-stimulated mitochondrial membrane depolarization but failed to rescue oxygen consumption perturbations. Together, these results suggest that DCVC caused progressive mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in lipid peroxidation-associated mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Our findings contribute to the biological plausibility of DCVC-induced placental impairment and provide new insights into the role of the mitochondria in DCVC-induced toxicity.

Project description:BackgroundValproate, thalidomide and alcohol (ethanol) exposure during the first trimester of pregnancy is known to cause several developmental disorders. All these teratogens are known to pass the placental barrier and interfere directly with the normal development of the fetus. However, these teratogens also alter the formation and function of the placenta itself which may in turn affect the proper nourishment and development of the fetus. Optimum development of the placenta requires adequate invasion of trophoblast into the maternal uterine tissues. Changes in the migratory behavior of trophoblast by maternal exposure to these teratogens during placentogenesis may therefore alter the structure and function of the placenta.MethodsIn the present study, the effects of sodium valproate, thalidomide and alcohol on the migration of human first trimester trophoblast cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) were examined in vitro. Cells were cultured in the wells of 48-well culture plates as mono or multilayers. Circular patches of cells were removed from the center of the wells by suction, and the migration of cells into the wound was studied using microscopy. Effects of low and high concentrations of valproate, thalidomide and alcohol were examined on the healing of wounds and on the migration rate of cells by determining the wound areas at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. Effects of drugs and alcohol on the proliferation and the expression levels of integrin subunits beta1 and alpha5 in cells were examined.ResultsThe migration rates of trophoblast differed between wounds created in mono and multilayers of cells. Exposure to teratogens altered the migration of trophoblast into mono and multilayer wounds. The effects of valproate, thalidomide and alcohol on the proliferation of cells during the rapid migratory phase were mild. Drug exposure caused significant changes in the expression levels of beta1 and alpha5 integrin subunits.ConclusionResults suggest that exposure to valproate, thalidomide or alcohol during the first trimester of pregnancy may change the ultrastructure of the placenta by altering the migration of trophoblast cells and this effect may be mediated by drug- or alcohol-induced changes in the expression levels of beta1 and alpha5 integrin subunits.
