Placental apoptosis is increased in vivo in preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The cause and pathological implications of this phenomenon are unknown. This study considers the apoptotic susceptibility of villous trophoblasts from normal, PE, and IUGR pregnancies. Cultured cytotro-phoblasts (CTs) and an in vitro model of syncytialization were used. CTs were isolated from term placentas of 12 normal, 12 PE, and 12 IUGR pregnancies. Apoptosis was determined by terminal dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), Annexin V binding, and ADP:ATP ratios. Cells were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha/interferon-gamma or reduced oxygen (
