This review aims to provide a summation of latest research that is improving our understanding of placental metabolism and nutrient allocation between the mother and the fetus. It highlights that in addition to transporter-mediated processes for glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid transport, the human placental trophoblast utilizes a unique macropinocytosis strategy to uptake large molecules from maternal circulation in conditions of nutrient stress. In addition, placental trophoblasts undergo intensive metabolic programming and post-translational modifications during the differentiation process, which regulate trophoblast cell fate, function, and pregnancy outcomes. A number of imprinted genes have been identified to play crucial roles in balancing allocation between the mother and the fetus, yet their role in trophoblast macropinocytosis and metabolic reprogramming requires study. Further work in this area of placental nutrient allocation is essential for identifying the pathogenesis of pregnancy disorders and developing novel therapeutic interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50606,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Genetics & Development","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102305"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
