Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma in normal human pregnancy and miscarriage
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) belong to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. Recent investigations emphasize a possible involvement of PPAR in obstetric and gynaecologic disorders like polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis and preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) in normal human pregnancy and miscarriage. Placental tissue was obtained from normal human pregnancy and miscarriage during the first trimester of pregnancy. PPARγ localisation was investigated by immunohistochemical methods. Immediate immunoreactivity of PPARγ was observed in villous and extravillous trophoblast nuclei in normal first trimester pregnancy. A significantly enhanced labelling of PPARγ was identified in extravillous trophoblast of miscarriage patients. This enhanced immunopositivity was also found in nuclei of villous trophoblast cells of miscarriage patients but without statistical significance. Because trophoblast invasion is negatively correlated to PPARγ stimulation and blocking of PPARγ leads to increased trophoblast invasion, our findings may suggest that enhanced expression of PPARγ in abortive extravillous trophoblasts may be one factor linked to miscarriage.
