CRH plays a functional role in fetal development, labor initiation, and the regulation of gestational length.

Robust linear models were fitted to estimate associations between CRH and placental gene expression at birth.

These genes were involved in several metabolic pathways. Seven genes were significantly associated with both plasma CRH and gestational length. Four genes were concordantly decreased and 7 genes were concordantly increased in primary trophoblasts treated with CRH.</div></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><div>Overall, this study reveals potential novel transcriptional mechanisms by which CRH may regulate metabolic pathways important for placental function and identifies genes associated with both CRH and gestational length.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20203,"journal":{"name":"Placenta","volume":"160 ","pages":"Pages 29-38"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142927385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is partly due to lack of accuracy of current biomarkers to predict high-risk pregnancies at an earlier stage.

Various bioanalytical techniques were used to detect PLAP expressions in the cells and EVs. The EVs were characterized by size/quantity, PLAP as a cargo, and canonical EV protein markers.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>PLAP expression was determined in the chorion trophoblast cells (CTCs) of the fetal membranes and the placental trophoblasts; however, it was absent in the amnion layer of the fetal membranes and the maternal uterine cells used in this study. Using multiple experimental approaches, we further verified the cellular sources of PLAP and confirmed that the EVs from the chorion and placental trophoblasts contain PLAP.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Our studies suggest that PLAP is not truly placental. Instead, cells of trophoblast lineage in both fetal membranes and the placenta express PLAP in cells and their EVs. Although PLAP + ve EVs for biomarkers are not exclusively placental, they still represent real-time fetal-specific tissues conditions during pregnancy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20203,"journal":{"name":"Placenta","volume":"160 ","pages":"Pages 118-125"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142966333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
