Abstract:
:Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and all-trans-retinal (retinal) were evaluated as possible phagocytic stimulators of cultured, post implantation, trophoblast cells. Ectoplacental cones dissected from 7.5 day-old mouse embryos provided the source of trophoblastic cells. Co-cultures were performed using stimulated and non-stimulated trophoblast cells and erythrocytes under standard conditions. Phagocytic activity was expressed as the total number of phagocytic cells per ectoplacental cone, and as phagosomic vacuoles per trophoblast giant cell, either in the presence or absence of the stimulators. Both chemical agents had similar effects, less than 12 h after stimulation, statistically significant numbers of erythrophagosomes appear in the trophoblast giant cells (TGC). These findings demonstrate that TGC, like neutrophils and macrophages, can be activated to phagocytosis by exogenous factors. This enhanced activity may result from the generation and release of reactive oxygen species. In conclusion, our data suggest that, because stimulation was provided, the remarkable in vivo phagocytic activity of the trophoblast can be maintained under in vitro conditions, allowing study of the pathways and regulatory steps involved in this process.
