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. Human trophoblast cell-surface antigens defined by monoclonal antibodies.
A series of monoclonal antibodies has been raised against the human choriocarcinoma cell-line, BeWo. Four antigens, Trop-1, -2, -3, and -4, are defined on normal and malignant trophoblast cells. Trop-1 and Trop-2 appear to be specifically expressed on syncytio- and cytotrophoblasts, whereas Trop-3 and Trop-4 are also detected on various tumor cell lines, nor

6. 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

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. 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

9. Radioimmunochemical measurement of the transferrin receptor in human trophoblast and reticulocyte membranes with a specific anti-receptor antibody.
A radioimmunoassay was developed to directly assay the presence of transferrin receptors in human tissues. Antisera developed in a goat against purified human placental transferrin binding protein was purified by fractional sodium sulfate precipitation and adsorption against Sepharose-bound transferrin to remove trace anti-transferrin activity. The antisera

10. DNA methylation prevents transfection of genes for specific surface antigens.
Sperm and trophoblast are among the few nucleated human cells that do not express HLA class I antigens. DNA methylation, which is proposed to be a tight mechanism of regulation, may be necessary to turn off these genes. We have investigated the transfectability of HLA class I genes and of the genes for the T-cell differentiation antigens Leu-1 (CD5) and Leu-
