| Popis: | The expression of the tumor suppressor/oncoprotein p53 has been investigated in normal human placental villous trophoblast, in vitro propagated invasive extravillous trophoblast, SV40 tumor antigen (Tag)-immortalized extravillous trophoblast, human cytomegalovirus (hCMV)-infected syncytiotrophoblast and malignant trophoblast (choriocarcinoma) cell lines (JAR, JEG-3 and BeWo) using quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western immunoblot methods using monoclonal antibodies specific for wild-type and mutant p53. The normal villous and extravillous trophoblast cells expressed low levels of the wild-type p53 protein, whereas normal terminally differentiated multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast cells, as well as hCMV-infected syncytiotrophoblast, showed a higher expression of the wild-type p53 protein. SV40 Tag-immortalized invasive trophoblast cells also showed a high expression of the wild-type p53 protein which remained complexed with the Tag protein. All the choriocarcinoma cell lines over expressed the mutant form of the p53 protein. The increased expression of p53 protein in the SV40 Tag-immortalized invasive trophoblast and choriocarcinoma cells paralleled with increased expression of the mouse double minute 2 (mdm2) oncogenic protein. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta inhibited proliferation of normal extravillous trophoblast cells. The antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta were reduced in SV40 Tag-immortalized cells and non-detectable in choriocarcinoma cell lines JAR, BeWo and JEG-3. The inactivation of p53 owing to complexing with Tag in the immortalized premalignant trophoblast and p53 mutation in the malignant trophoblast may be responsible for their aberrant proliferation and refractoriness to antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta observed in these cells as compared to the normal trophoblast. These results may suggest the role of p53 protein in trophoblast differentiation, transformation and tumorigenesis. |
