Abstract
The establishment of culture conditions to propagate self-renewing human trophoblast stem cells in long-term culture provides a paradigm for in vitro modelling of trophoblast. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical determinant of cell identity and behaviour. Therefore, models aiming to reproduce cells in vitro should recapitulate the native cell-ECM microenvironment. Here, we mine human embryo transcriptional datasets to identify ECM components and cognate receptors expressed in the trophectoderm. Following, we identify laminin-511-E8 protein fragment as a physiologically relevant ECM capable of maintaining hTSCs in the stem cell state and retaining differentiation ability.
期刊介绍:
Placenta publishes high-quality original articles and invited topical reviews on all aspects of human and animal placentation, and the interactions between the mother, the placenta and fetal development. Topics covered include evolution, development, genetics and epigenetics, stem cells, metabolism, transport, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, cell and molecular biology, and developmental programming. The Editors welcome studies on implantation and the endometrium, comparative placentation, the uterine and umbilical circulations, the relationship between fetal and placental development, clinical aspects of altered placental development or function, the placental membranes, the influence of paternal factors on placental development or function, and the assessment of biomarkers of placental disorders.
