Transcriptomic Drivers of Differentiation, Maturation, and Polyploidy in Human Extravillous Trophoblast.

ABSTRACT: During pregnancy, conceptus-derived extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invades the endomyometrium, anchors the placenta to the maternal uterus, and remodels the spiral arteries in order to establish maternal blood supply to the fetoplacental unit. Recent reports have described early gestation EVT as polyploid and senescent. Here, we extend these reports by performing comprehensive profiling of both the genomic organization and transcriptome of first trimester and term EVT. We define pathways and gene regulatory networks involved in both initial differentiation and maturation of this important trophoblast lineage at the maternal-fetal interface. Our results suggest that like first trimester EVT, term EVT undergoes senescence and endoreduplication, is primarily tetraploid, and lacks high rates of copy number variations. Additionally, we have highlighted senescence and polyploidy-related genes, pathways, networks, and transcription factors that appeared to be important in normal EVT differentiation and maturation and validated a key role for the unfolded protein response in this context.

Transcriptomic Drivers of Differentiation, Maturation, and Polyploidy in Human Extravillous Trophoblast [RNA-seq]

Project description:During pregnancy, normal extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invade the endomyometrium of the maternal uterus and remodel the spiral arteries to control blood supply and nutrient transfer. Recent reports have described first trimester EVT as polyploid and senescent. Here we extend these earlier reports by performing comprehensive profiling of the genomic organization and transcriptome of first trimester EVT and term EVT. We define pathways and gene regulatory networks involved in both initial differentiation and maturation of this important trophoblast lineage at the maternal-fetal interface.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition during extravillous trophoblast differentiation.

Project description:A successful pregnancy depends on the intricate and timely interactions of maternal and fetal cells. Placental extravillous cytotrophoblast invasion involves a cellular transition from an epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype. Villous cytotrophoblasts undergo a partial epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) when differentiating into extravillous cytotrophoblasts and gain the capacity to migrate and invade. This review summarizes our current knowledge regarding known regulators of EMT in the human placenta, including the inducers of EMT, upstream transcription factors that control EMT and the downstream effectors, cell adhesion molecules and their differential expression and functions in pregnancy pathologies, preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR). The review also describes the research strategies that were used for the identification of the functional role of EMT targets in vitro. A better understanding of molecular pathways driven by placental EMT and further elucidation of signaling pathways underlying the developmental programs may offer novel strategies of targeted therapy for improving feto-placental growth in placental pathologies including PE and FGR.

Transcriptomic and functional analyses of 3D placental extravillous trophoblast spheroids.

Project description:Placental extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion is essential in establishing proper blood supply to the fetus during pregnancy. However, traditional 2D in vitro systems do not model the in vivo invasion process in an anatomically-relevant manner. Our objectives were to develop a 3D spheroid model that would allow better emulation of placental invasion in vitro and to characterize the transcriptomic and functional outcomes. HTR8/SVneo EVT cells were self-assembled into 3D spheroids using ultra-low attachment plates. Transcriptomic profiling followed by gene set enrichment and gene ontology analyses revealed major global transcriptomic differences, with significant up-regulations in EVTs cultured as 3D spheroids in canonical pathways and biological processes such as immune response, angiogenesis, response to stimulus, wound healing, and others. These findings were further validated by RT-qPCR, showing significant up-regulations in genes and/or proteins related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell-cell contact, angiogenesis, and invasion/migration. A high-throughput, spheroid invasion assay was applied to reveal the dynamic invasion of EVTs away from the spheroid core into extracellular matrix. Lastly, lipopolysaccharide, dexamethasone, or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure was found to impact the invasion of EVT spheroids. Altogether, we present a well-characterized, 3D spheroid model of EVT invasion and demonstrate its potential use in drug and toxin screening during pregnancy.

Hypoxia Directs Human Extravillous Trophoblast Differentiation in a Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-Dependent Manner.

Project description:Villous cytotrophoblasts are epithelial stem cells of the early human placenta, able to differentiate either into syncytiotrophoblasts in floating chorionic villi or extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) at the anchoring villi. The signaling pathways regulating differentiation into these two lineages are incompletely understood. The bulk of placental growth and development in the first trimester occurs under low oxygen tension. One major mechanism by which oxygen regulates cellular function is through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a transcription factor complex stabilized under low oxygen tension to mediate cellular responses, including cell fate decisions. HIF is known to play a role in trophoblast differentiation in rodents; however, its role in human trophoblast differentiation is poorly understood. Using RNA profiling of sorted populations of primary first-trimester trophoblasts, we evaluated the first stage of EVT differentiation, the transition from epidermal growth factor receptor+ villous cytotrophoblasts into human leukocyte antigen-G+ proximal column EVT (pcEVT) and identified hypoxia as a major pcEVT-associated pathway. Using primary cytotrophoblasts, we determined that culture in low oxygen directs differentiation preferentially toward human leukocyte antigen-G+ pcEVT, and that an intact HIF complex is required for this process. Finally, using global RNA profiling, we identified integrin-linked kinase and associated cytoskeletal remodeling and adhesion to be among HIF-dependent pcEVT-associated signaling pathways. Taken together, we propose that oxygen regulates EVT differentiation through HIF-dependent modulation of various cell adhesion and morphology-related pathways.

New regulatory mechanisms for human extravillous trophoblast invasion.

Project description:Human extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) invade maternal deciduas and reconstructed maternal spiral arteries during early placentation. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms to induce EVT invasion toward arteries and/or to protect EVT from further invasion have not been well understood. Recently, it was found that EVT that had already ceased their invasion, specifically expressed cluster of differentiation (CD9) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) on their cell surface. In addition, EVT migrating to maternal spiral arteries expressed CC chemokine receptor type-1 (CCR-1), which is a chemokine receptor for regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and so on. CD9 is associated with integrin molecules on the cell surface and is considered to modulate integrin function. In contrast, DPPIV is a cell surface peptidase that can metabolize RANTES at extracellular sites before its accessing to the chemokine receptors. In vitro functional assay showed that CD9, DPPIV and RANTES are involved in the regulation for EVT invasion. From these findings, it can be proposed that CD9 and DPPIV, including chemokines, are new regulatory factors for human extravillous trophoblasts. (Reprod Med Biol 2005; 4: 189-195).
