BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 2 PROMOTES HUMAN TROPHOBLAST CELL INVASION AND ENDOTHELIAL-LIKE TUBE FORMATION THROUGH ID1-MEDIATED UP-REGULATION OF IGF BINDING PROTEIN-3
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVTs) invade into the uterine wall and remodel spiral arteries for proper placentation. Insufficient EVTs invasion and poor spiral arterial remodeling are associated with preeclampsia occurrence. Studies from us and others have demonstrated that the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily member bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plays important roles in endometrial decidualization and trophoblast cell invasion. However, BMP2 has also been shown to regulate endothelial cell migration and capillary-like tube formation, as has its downstream signaling molecule inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1). Interestingly, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) also promotes endothelial precursor cell migration and angiogenesis. Moreover, Id1 shows regulatory effect on Igfbp3 expression in rat prostate epithelial cells. However, whether ID1 and IGFBP3 are integrated in BMP2 signaling and involved in the regulation of trophoblast invasive and endovascular differentiation remains unknown. The objective of our study was to examine the effects of BMP2 on ID1 and IGFBP3 expression and their roles in BMP2-regulated human trophoblast invasion and endothelial-like tube formation. Design and method: Primary and immortalized (HTR8/SVneo) cultures of human trophoblast cells were employed as study models. RT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to study mRNA and protein levels. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to check the roles of key molecules. Matrigel-coated transwell assay and endothelial-like tube formation assay were used to examine cell invasiveness and angiogenesis respectively. Results: BMP2 treatment increased ID1 and IGFBP3 mRNA and protein levels in HTR8/SVneo and primary human EVT cells. Intriguingly, ID1 was essential for BMP2-induced IGFBP3 up-regulation in both study models, and BMP2-induced trophoblast invasion was attenuated by knockdown of either ID1 or IGFBP3. In addition, BMP2 significantly increased endothelial-like tube formation and knockdown of ID1 and IGFBP3 reduced basal and BMP2-induced tube formation in HTR8/SVneo cells. Similarly, BMP2 increased placenta growth factor (PlGF) production in HTR8/SVneo cells and these effects were attenuated by knockdown of ID1 or IGFBP3. Conclusions: Our results reveal that BMP2 promotes trophoblast cell invasion and endothelial-like tube formation by ID1-mediated IGFBP3 up-regulation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
