Title Transcriptional insights from the human embryo identify laminin-511 as a suitable matrix for human trophoblast stem cell culture.
Journal Placenta
Abstract The establishment of culture conditions to propagate self-renewing human trophoblast stem cells in long-term culture provides a paradigm for in vitro modelling of trophoblast. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical determinant of cell identity and behaviour. Therefore, models aiming to reproduce cells in vitro should recapitulate the native cell-ECM microenvironment. Here, we mine human embryo transcriptional datasets to identify ECM components and cognate receptors expressed in the trophectoderm. Following, we identify laminin-511-E8 protein fragment as a physiologically relevant ECM capable of maintaining hTSCs in the stem cell state and retaining differentiation ability.
