      The enlarged spongiotrophoblast layer in Slc13a1 null mice, has also been noted in other mouse models of reduced fetal survival, including trisomy 15 syndrome [71], hydroxysteroid 17β dehydrogenase 2 knockout mice [72], and over-expression of epidermal growth factor receptor [73]. These findings suggesting a common physiological response such as the endocrine activity of spongiotrophoblasts [74], which is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy and fetal development [75–77]. Interestingly, hyposulfataemia in pregnant Slc13a1 null mice, did not lead to any changes in placental mRNA expression levels of the Slc13a4 and Slc26a2 sulfate transporters, as well as 2 sulfotransferases Sult1e1 and Hs3st1 that contribute vital roles in sulfonation of estrogen and heparan sulfate, respectively [70,78].

      2016, Placenta
      Citation Excerpt :

      The placenta plays a key role in ensuring survival and development of the fetus by producing a variety of endocrine, paracrine and autocrine mediators: hormones, growth factors, cytokines, etc [1]. The concept of a placental cytokine network has been generally accepted [2–4]. However, it is necessary to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying placental function, especially cytokine signaling at the local level, where cell constituents of the placenta are the primary sources of such signals.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Many cells in the amnion and choriodecidua, including amniotic epithelial cells, trophoblasts in the chorion and decidual cells can contribute to secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and MMPs (Menon et al., 1995; Keelan et al., 1999; Vadillo-Ortega et al., 1995). Analyses of the cellular origin of TNF-α, IL-1β and MMP-9 in gestational tissues have shown that infiltrating leukocytes may contribute to secretion of these proteins (Mitchell et al., 1993; Peltier, 2003). Neutrophils, macrophages and T lymphocytes invade the placenta, myometrium, cervix and fetal membranes at the end of pregnancy, coincidently with the local increase of TNF-α, IL-1β and MMP-9 (Bulmer and Sunderland, 1984; Bokstrom et al., 1997; Young et al., 2002).

      2006, Journal of Biological Chemistry
      Citation Excerpt :

      Placenta produces pregnancy-specific hormones and a multitude of chemokines, growth factors, cytokines, and other factors that are essential for the maintenance and progression of pregnancy, modulation of immune and endrocrine functions, development of the fetus, and delivery (27–31). For example, prostaglandins and endothelins produced in response to certain cytokines have been reported to function as the key myometrial contratile agents essential for delivery (27, 32). Placental hormones and growth factors are likely to enter fetal compartments, where they promote fetal development.
