Abstract:
Molecular events at the maternal-fetal interface establish successful pregnancies. Identifying and characterizing the heterogeneous cell population and their cross-talk at the cellular and molecular levels are essential to expand our knowledge on the progression and maintenance of pregnancy. In this chapter, we briefly discuss the organization of maternal-fetal interface in mice/rats and humans. We illustrate methods for studying the cell composition using flow cytometry, immunocytochemical and biochemical studies, intercellular interaction using co-culture system and spheroid assay, and function of trophoblast cells using ELISA, RNA sequencing, mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze the proteome, invasion assay, and scratch wound assay.
