摘要

AbstractMammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein that regulates cell growth in response to altered nutrient and growth factor availability. Our objective was to assess activated mTOR and its intracellular intermediates p70, and 4EBP1 in placental and invasive trophoblast cells in a hypoxia-induced model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in rats. Rats were treated with hypoxia (9%) for 4 days. Placental and fetal weights, as well as conceptus numbers were recorded at the time of necropsy. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the level of trophoblast invasion and apoptosis. Western blots were used to determine the activation of mTOR, p70, and 4EBP1 in the placenta and the uterine mesometrial compartment. We observed (1) decreased placental (21%) and fetal (24%) weights (P  0.05); (2) decreased trophoblast invasion; (3) significantly increased active 4EBP1 (28%; P  0.05) in invasive trophoblast cells yet no changes in the activation of mTOR and p70 proteins; and (4) a significant decrease in the activation of mTOR (48%; P  0.05) with no differences in p70 or 4EBP1 activation in the placenta. We conclude that the development of IUGR is correlated with decreased activation of the mTOR protein in the placenta and increased 4EBP1 activity in the invading trophoblast. These results provide important insight into the physiological relevance of these pathways. Furthermore, modification of these and other related targets during gestation may alleviate IUGR severity.
