探讨高危孕妇胎盘植入的临床危险因素及MRI价值征象

目的探讨高危孕妇胎盘植入的临床危险因素及MRI价值征象。方法91例高危孕妇,年龄23~44岁、平均年龄32岁;孕周27~38.5周、平均孕周36.2周;分别分析临床资料及MRI宫内征象1)胎盘异常增厚及胎盘内T2WI低信号带;2)胎盘与肌层分界线不连续或中断;3)子宫肌层变薄及局部膨隆。最终诊断结果均经手术及病理证实。采用卡方检验比较临床高危因素及MRI宫内征象在总体胎盘植入与对照组间以及MRI宫内征象在胎盘植入组内的统计学差异。结果41/91例为胎盘植入,其中26例浅植入(胎盘粘连)、13例胎盘深植入、2例胎盘穿透,余50例阴性。临床资料剖宫产和/或流产史次数大于等于2次、前置胎盘以及上述MRI宫内征象在总体胎盘植入组间均具有统计学差异(P<0.05)。其中胎盘T2WI低信号带(P=0.015)、胎盘与肌层分界线不连续或中断(P=0.007)、子宫肌层变薄(P=0.000)及局部膨隆(P=0.006)在胎盘植入组内具有统计学差异。结论剖宫产和/或流产史次数大于等于2次及前置胎盘是高危孕妇胎盘植入的临床危险因素。上述MRI宫内征象均为高危孕妇胎盘植入的价值征象。其中胎盘与肌层分界线不连续或中断,是胎盘浅植入的敏感征象。除胎盘异常增厚外,余下MRI宫内价值征象出现越多,提示胎盘植入越深,危险性越大。     

Implication of Human Endogenous Retrovirus Envelope Proteins in Placental Functions

Human endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) represent 8% of the total human genome. Although the majority of these ancient proviral sequences have only retained non-coding long terminal repeats (LTRs), a number of “endogenized” retroviral genes encode functional proteins. Previous studies have underlined the implication of these ERV-derived proteins in the development and the function of the placenta. In this review, we summarize recent findings showing that two ERV genes, termed Syncytin-1 and Syncytin-2, which encode former envelope (Env) proteins, trigger fusion events between villous cytotrophoblasts and the peripheral multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast layer. Such fusion events maintain the stability of this latter cell structure, which plays an important role in fetal development by the active secretion of various soluble factors, gas exchange and regulation of fetomaternal immunotolerance. We also highlight new studies showing that these ERV proteins, in addition to their localization at the cell surface of cytotrophoblasts, are also incorporated on the surface of various extracellular microvesicles, including exosomes. Such exosome-associated proteins could be involved in the various functions attributed to these vesicles and could provide a form of tropism. Additionally, through their immunosuppressive domains, these ERV proteins could also contribute to fetomaternal immunotolerance in a local and more distal manner. These various aspects of the implication of Syncytin-1 and -2 in placental function are also addressed in the context of the placenta-related disorder, preeclampsia.

Dendritic polyglycerol nanoparticles show charge dependent bio-distribution in early human placental explants and reduce hCG secretion

A thorough understanding of nanoparticle bio-distribution at the feto-maternal interface will be a prerequisite for their diagnostic or therapeutic application in women of childbearing age and for teratologic risk assessment. Therefore, the tissue interaction of biocompatible dendritic polyglycerol nanoparticles (dPG-NPs) with first- trimester human placental explants were analyzed and compared to less sophisticated trophoblast-cell based models. First-trimester human placental explants, BeWo cells and primary trophoblast cells from human term placenta were exposed to fluorescence labeled, ～5?nm dPG-NPs, with differently charged surfaces, at concentrations of 1 µM and 10?nM, for 6 and 24?h. Accumulation of dPGs was visualized by fluorescence microscopy. To assess the impact of dPG-NP on trophoblast integrity and endocrine function, LDH, and hCG releases were measured. A dose- and charge-dependent accumulation of dPG-NPs was observed at the early placental barrier and in cell lines, with positive dPG-NP-surface causing deposits even in the mesenchymal core of the placental villi. No signs of plasma membrane damage could be detected. After 24?h we observed a significant reduction of hCG secretion in placental explants, without significant changes in trophoblast apoptosis, at low concentrations of charged dPG-NPs. In conclusion, dPG-NP’s surface charge substantially influences their bio-distribution at the feto-maternal interface, with positive charge facilitating trans-trophoblast passage, and in contrast to more artificial models, the first-trimester placental explant culture model reveals potentially hazardous influences of charged dPG-NPs on early placental physiology.     

Hypoxia Upregulates GCM1 in Human Placenta Explants

Studies in mice have shown that a variety of genes, including GCM1, regulate the differentiation of trophoblast cells. GCM1 is also expressed in the human placenta. Placental GCM1 protein has been reported to be reduced in preeclampsia. In view of the close link between hypoxia, hypoxia-reoxygenation, preeclampsia, placental development and the reported reduction in GCM1, we hypothesised that GCM1 expression would be affected by hypoxia. The aim was to determine the effects of hypoxia on GCM1 expression in the human placenta. Two model systems were used; villous explants and cultured primary cytotrophoblast cells. GCM1 protein was detectable at low levels in explants maintained for 7 h in 8 or 20% O₂. A striking increase in GCM1 was observed when villous explants were incubated for 1h in 1% O₂ (p < 0.002). Incubation of explants for 1 h in 1% O₂ followed by re-oxygenation for 6 h in 8 or 20% O₂ resulted in a decline in GCM1 protein. Expression of GCM1 was also analysed in primary cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast cultured in 8 or 20% O₂ or reduced oxygen (1–2% O₂) conditions. GCM1 protein was not detected in any of the experimental conditions used. This study has shown that acute hypoxia increases GCM-1 protein in villous explants. The experiments with purified trophoblast do not support a role for hypoxia increasing GCM-1 in these cells under the conditions used. The present findings are in keeping with the complex effects of oxygen depending on the conditions used. The hypoxic effects on GCM1 warrant further investigation as they may provide further information on the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
