Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and four surfactant-associated proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D). The biological functions of SP-A and SP-D are primarily twofold, namely surfactant homeostasis and host defense. The hydrophobic surfactant proteins, SP-B and SP-C, are required for achieving the optimal surface tension reducing properties of surfactant by promoting the rapid adsorption of surfactant phospholipids along the alveolar surface. Despite the promising findings, only little is known about the extrapulmonary distribution of these proteins. Therefore, in this study, the presence of SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D in early human placenta has been investigated. First-trimester placental tissues (22–56 days) were obtained from women undergoing curettage during normal pregnancies. In parallel tissue sections, vimentin, cytokeratin-7 and CD-68 immunostainings were used for the identification of mesenchymal cells, trophoblast cells and Hofbauer cells, respectively. According to immunohistochemistry (IHC) results, SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D immunoreactivities with different staining intensities were observed in trophoblastic layers of chorionic villous tree, trophoblastic cell columns, stromal cells, Hofbauer cells, angiogenic cell cords and vascular endothelium. Fetal hematopoietic cells showed a variable staining pattern for all four surfactant proteins ranging from none to strong intensity. Western blotting of tissue extracts confirmed our IHC results. The presence of surfactant glycoproteins in early human placenta may yield a very important feature of surfactants during first trimester and enables further studies of the role of surfactants in various pregnancy complications.
