| Abstract | Differentiation of the nonadherent trophectoderm cells of the mammalian embryo into attachment-competent trophoblast cells appears to be a prerequisite to invasion of the uterine stroma. To investigate the molecular basis of trophoblast differentiation free of maternal environmental constraints, we used a model system in which attachment and outgrowth of trophoblast cells occurs in vitro. Recently, it was found that either fibronectin or laminin, both of which are extracellular matrix glycoproteins of the uterine stroma, will support trophoblast outgrowth in vitro. In this study we report that the outgrowth of blastocysts on fibronectin-coated dishes is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the presence of a hexapeptide containing the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, which has been shown previously to be recognized by the fibronectin receptor. This peptide had no effect on laminin-mediated trophoblast outgrowth, suggesting that the trophoblasts contain different cell surface receptors for fibronectin and laminin. Trophoblast attachment and limited outgrowth also could be obtained on dishes to which the hexapeptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro was coupled. Under these conditions, however, outward migration of the trophoblast cells appeared to be reduced. Vitronectin, another adhesion molecule that apparently binds to cells via a cell surface receptor that recognizes Arg-Gly-Asp sequences, also was capable of supporting trophoblast outgrowth. These findings suggest that differentiation of cells of the trophectoderm into trophoblast cells with an invasive phenotype may involve the production of cell surface receptors for fibronectin and possibly for other proteins that contain the Arg-Gly-Asp recognition sequence. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
