Objective: The purpose Of this Study was to test the hypothesis that the thiazolidinedione troglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma ligand, attenuates hypoxia-induced trophoblast injury.Study design: Cytotrophoblasts from 4 term human placentas were cultured in the presence or absence of 10 mumol/L troglitazone in either 20% oxygen (standard conditions) or 1% oxygen (hypoxic conditions) for variable periods before cell harvest. Medium beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and human placental lacto.-en were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Apoptosis was quantified by cytokeratin-18 cleavage products staining; p53 expression was examined by Western blot analysis.Results: beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and human placental lactogen levels were greater than or equal to2-fold higher in troglitazone-exposed cells at 16 hours of hypoxia. compared with vehicle control cells (P < .05). The apoptotic index was reduced by greater than or equal to 30% (P < .001), and the expression of p53 was 2-fold lower (P < .02) in troglitazone-exposed cells under hypoxia for less than or equal to16 hours but not different after >24 hours of low oxygen.Conclusion: Troglitazone attenuates the influence of acute hypoxia on Cultured term human trophoblasts.
