| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to elucidate the molecular biological mechanism of implantation and to acquire the comprehensive knowledge about the gene therapy on fetomaternal interface by virus vector
1. We have elucidated the biological mechanism of implantation, mainly in the control of invasion of extravillous trophoblast and decidua. We have described protease activated receptor (PAR)1, PAR2, and PAR3 protein distribution in the developing human placenta and implicated PAR1 and PAR2 activation in functions central to EVT invasion.
2. We have elucidated the mechanisms of viral infection (adenovirus, coxackievirus, herpes simplex virus, human cytomegalovirus) in fetomaternal interface. We have reported that differentiated EVT prepared from human first-trimester chorionic villi persistently express class I MHC molecules upon HCMV infection. Furthermore, we have reported that differentiation of cytotrophoblasts into syncytiotrophoblasts may be associated with the L-arginine metabolic pathway through modulation of L-arginine availability as a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and arginase
