1. Influência das citocinas IL-10, TGF-β1 e IFN-γ na susceptibilidade de células trofoblásticas humanas (linhagem BeWo) e células epiteliais uterinas humanas (linhagem HeLa) à infecção por Toxoplasma gondii: papel na expressão de ICAM-1, na adesão do parasito à célula hospedeira e vias de sinalização intracelulares ativadas
Toxoplasma gondii é um protozoário parasito intracelular obrigatório capaz de infectar uma diversidade de células, incluindo células trofoblásticas. Estudos prévios demonstraram que interleucina (IL)-10, fator transformador de crescimento (TGF)-β1 e interferon (IFN)-γ são importantes citocinas envolvidas na susceptibilidade de células trof

2. Susceptibilidade diferencial de células trofoblásticas humanas (BeWo) e cervicais uterinas (HeLa) à infecção por Neospora caninum
Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite, closely related to Toxoplasma gondii, and considered a major cause of abortion and congenital neosporosis in cattle worldwide. As trophoblast cells act in mechanisms of innate immune defense at fetal-maternal interface, and no data are available about the interaction of this parasite with human trophobl

3. Apoptose e proliferação celular em células trofoblásticas (linhagem BeWo) são diferentemente moduladas pelas cepas de Toxoplasma gondii
Transplacental transmission causes one of the most severe forms of infection with protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The ability of the parasite to survive intracellularly largely depends on the blocking of different proapoptotic signaling cascade of its host cell. However, alterations in the incidence of apoptosis, during pregnancy, are associated with a

4. Gamma Interferon Fails To Induce Expression of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Does Not Control the Growth of Chlamydophila abortus in BeWo Trophoblast Cells
The BeWo trophoblast cell line does not constitutively express the tryptophan degrading enzyme indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), nor can IDO expression be induced by gamma interferon. This correlates with the inability of BeWo cells to control the growth of Chlamydophila abortus, in contrast to effects observed in HeLa cells treated with gamma interferon.

5. Characterization of the human c-fms gene product and its expression in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage.
The McDonough strain of feline sarcoma virus contains an oncogene called v-fms whose ultimate protein product (gp140v-fms) resembles a cell surface growth factor receptor. To identify and characterize the protein product of the proto-oncogene c-fms, antisera were prepared to the viral fms sequences and used to detect specific cross-reacting sequences in huma

6. Characterization of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors on BeWo choriocarcinoma cells including the identification of a novel 38-kDa TGF-beta binding glycoprotein.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potential mediator of placental trophoblast functions, including differentiation, hormone production, endometrial invasion, and immunosuppression. Equilibrium binding and affinity-labeling assays were used to investigate the binding characteristics of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 on an established human choriocarc

7. Cell-to-Cell Contact Results in a Selective Translocation of Maternal Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Quasispecies across a Trophoblastic Barrier by both Transcytosis and Infection
Mother-to-child transmission can occur in utero, mainly intrapartum and postpartum in case of breastfeeding. In utero transmission is highly restricted and results in selection of viral variant from the mother to the child. We have developed an in vitro system that mimics the interaction between viruses, infected cells present in maternal blood, and the trop

8. Cyclic AMP regulation of the human glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit gene is mediated by an 18-base-pair element.
cAMP regulates transcription of the gene encoding the alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in choriocarcinoma cells (BeWo). To define the sequences required for regulation by cAMP, we inserted fragments from the 5' flanking region of the alpha-subunit gene into a test vector containing the simian virus 40 early promoter (devoid of its enhancer

9. Human transformed trophoblast-derived cells lacking CD4 receptor exhibit restricted permissiveness for human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
We investigated the nature of interaction of the malignantly transformed cell lines of trophoblast origin BeWo, JAR, and JEG-3 with three different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates (RF, 3B, and NDK). After inoculation with cell-free virus, the persistence of infection was determined for 1 month by monitoring the presence of viral DNA in t

10. Expression of a fms-related oncogene in carcinogen-induced neoplastic epithelial cells.
Following carcinogen exposure in vitro, normal rat tracheal epithelial cells are transformed in a multistage process in which the cultured cells become immortal and, ultimately, neoplastic. Five cell lines derived from tumors produced by neoplastically transformed rat tracheal epithelial cells were examined for the expression of 11 cellular oncogenes previou

11. Cloning of the human keratin 18 gene and its expression in nonepithelial mouse cells.
Human keratin 18 (K18) and the homologous mouse protein, Endo B, are intermediate filament subunits of the type I keratin class. Both are expressed in many simple epithelial cell types including trophoblasts, the first differentiated cell type to appear during mouse embryogenesis. The K18 gene was identified and cloned from among the 15 to 20 similar sequenc

12. Pst I restriction fragment length polymorphism of the human placental alkaline phosphatase gene in normal placentae and tumors.
The structure of the human placental alkaline phosphatase gene from normal term placentae was studied by restriction enzyme digestion and Southern blot analysis using a cDNA probe to the gene for the placental enzyme. The DNA digests fall into three distinct patterns based on the presence and intensity of an extra 1.1-kilobase Pst I band. The extra 1.1-kilob
