Abstract
We have previously shown that both HCG and insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) stimulate trophoblastic invasion. Furthermore, the invasion-promoting function of IGF-II resulted from IGF-II mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF-II/M6PR) activation. Since HCG and IGF-II did not have an additive effect on cell migration of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell line, HTR-8 SVneo, we hypothesized that HCG actions are mediated via alterations in the expression and/or function of IGF-II axis. HCG treatment (50-50,000 mU/ml) of the HTR-8/SVneo cells did not alter the expression of either insulin-like growth factor-I or IGF-II mRNA or peptide synthesis, but caused (i) an increase in the (125)I-IGF-II binding to EVT cells, and (ii) an increase in the externalization rate of the IGF-II binding sites without affecting their internalization. This effect was due to the increase in the number of IGF-II binding sites in the plasma membrane without any change in the IGF-II binding affinity. Although HCG did not influence the abundance of IGF-II/M6PR mRNA or protein, anti-IGF-II/M6PR antibody decreased HCG-induced migration of EVT, supporting the hypothesis that HCG might stimulate EVT migration by increasing IGF-II binding to the plasma membrane and subsequently by increasing the IGF-II effect probably mediated via the IGF-II/M6PR.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
