placenta | by analyzing villous samples representing different gestational ages, it is shown that TACE is continuously expressed in the placentas throughout gestation and that the levels of TACE are positively correlated with the levels of TGF-alpha, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor, and amphiregulin | Homo sapiens | - |
placental cell line | Villous explant cultures or cytotrophoblastic cells are used. Preadministration of TACE inhibitor in villous explant cultures or transfection of cytotrophoblastic cells with TACE-specific small interference RNA decreases the shedding of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor and amphiregulin. Hypoxia (2% O2) causes an increase in the levels of TACE mRNA and protein in villous explants and primary cytotrophoblastic cells in vitro | Homo sapiens | - |
