Hypoxia alters expression and function of syncytin and its receptor during trophoblast cell fusion of human placental BeWo cells: implications for impaired trophoblast syncytialisation in pre-eclampsia.

The fundamental process of placental trophoblast cell fusion (syncytiotrophoblast formation or syncytialisation) which is a characteristic of this tissue is poorly understood. Pre-eclampsia is associated with placental hypoxia and suppressed syncytiotrophoblast formation. We therefore have studied t...
