Abstract

ADAMTS-7, a member of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) family, was recently identified to be associated with cell migration and invasion. However, its function on trophoblasts remains unknown. In this study, we are aimed to investigate the role of ADAMTS-7 on trophoblasts in human first trimester gestation. The expression of ADAMTS-7 in trophoblasts and HTR8/SVneo cells is examined by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR. BrdU incorporation and Annexin V/PI staining are utilized to measure the effect of ADAMTS-7 on the proliferation and apoptosis of HTR8/SVneo cells, respectively. In addition, we detect the role of ADAMTS-7 on the invasion ability of HTR8/SVneo cells using matrigel invasion assays. The activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and integrinβ1 induced by ADAMTS-7 were determined by Western blot. ADAMTS-7 and its substrate cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) were expressed in both primary human trophoblasts and human trophoblast cell lines. TGF-β1 induced a continuous and significant decrease of ADAMTS-7. Inversely, IL-1β up-regulated the ADAMTS-7 level in a dosage dependent manner. In addition, knockdown of ADAMTS-7 inhibited the growth and invasion o...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
