Abstract:
:The present study has demonstrated that human extravillous trophoblast cells isolated from first trimester placentae can bind granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). We have used a technique which incorporates a phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated GM-CSF in association with a monoclonal antibody against trophoblast (BC-1) in single and double flow cytometric analysis. Trophoblast cells are also observed to show increased DNA synthesis in response to GM-CSF as assayed by [3H]thymidine incorporation and proliferative activity as demonstrated by double immunocytochemical staining of cells with a trophoblast cytokeratin marker (PKK1) and for the nuclear proliferation antigen (Ki-67). These findings provide evidence that human extravillous trophoblast expresses receptors for GM-CSF and responds to this cytokine.
