Research Abstract |
N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) is expressed in extravillous trophoblast (EVT) of human placenta in the first-trimester. We investigated factors which regulate expression of GnT-V in EVT cells using EVT cell line, HTR-8/SVneo. The supernatant of decidual tissue culture made GnT-V expression reduced and we confirmed TGF-b was the factor in cytokines. Hypoxia (1% Oxygen) promoted GnT-V expression in mRNA and protein levels after incubation for 48 hours compared to normoxia. Because GnT-V regulates trophoblast invasion by glycosylation of integrina5b1, we investigated the affection on phosphorylation of FAK after incubation with fibronectin. The result was that phosphorylation of FAK was reduced in GnT-V shRNA transfectants copared to control cells. We also investigated the difference of GnT-V expression between normal placentas and pregnancy-induced hypertension's ones, but there was no difference in immunohistochemistry and Western blot.
