Live and let die - regulation of villous trophoblast apoptosis in normal and abnormal pregnancies

Placenta
Alexander E P Heazell, Ian P Crocker

Abstract

Since 1995 the number of publications investigating apoptosis in villous trophoblast has increased exponentially. This scientific interest is in part due to observations that this specialised form of cell death is increased in pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia and intra-uterine growth restriction. In addition, apoptosis is described in normal villous trophoblast and elements of the apoptotic machinery are involved in the fusion between cytotrophoblast and the overlying multinucleate syncytiotrophoblast. The increase in descriptions of apoptotic cell death in villous trophoblast has been accompanied by investigations of regulators of apoptosis. It is anticipated that understanding the regulation of apoptosis in villous trophoblast may provide new insights into placental pathologies. This review describes current knowledge regarding the expression and function of these regulators in villous trophoblast, both in normal and complicated pregnancies.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

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
