From Cytotrophoblast to Syncytiotrophoblast - Telomere Length, Aggregate Formation and Senescence in Placenta From Complicated Pregnancies Compare to Placenta From Normal Pregnancies.
From Cytotrophoblast to Syncytiotrophoblast - Telomere Length, Aggregate Formation and Senescence in Placenta From Complicated Pregnancies Compare to Placenta From Normal Pregnancies.
A deeper understanding of the syncytiotrophoblast development processes and its properties may allow a better understanding of the placenta pathological process for the development of treatment models for the relevant pregnancy complications.The aim of this study is to compare telomere length, aggregate formation, and senescence markers in placentas from complicated pregnancy with placentas from normal pregnancy.
Protocol summary No. 2 for research 0202-14 of date: 22/11/2014. Rationale for the research A deeper understanding of the syncytiotrophoblast development processes and its properties may allow a better understanding of the placenta pathological process for the development of treatment models for the relevant pregnancy complications.
The aim of this study is to compare telomere length, aggregate formation, and senescence markers in the syncytiotrophoblast of placentas from complicated pregnancy with placentas from normal pregnancy.
Telomere lenght and aggregate formation will be assessed by the fluorescent intensity of telomere FISH.
Senescence will be assessed by immunohistochemistry for the markers - SAHF, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p16/p21, HLAX, ERVWE1, SA-B-gal.
