Detección de fibronectina durante la placentación porcina

Abstract

La placenta porcina es de tipo epiteliocorial, no invasiva, adecidua, plegada y difusa. La fibronectina (FN) es una glicoproteína dimérica presente en la matriz extracelular de la mayoría de los tejidos animales, que interviene en los procesos de adhesión celular, migración, implantación y embriogénesis. En este estudio se investigó la expresión de la FN en la interfase feto-materna durante la placentación porcina. Se recolectaron muestras de tejido placentario porcino (n = 12) a los 17, 32, 60 y 107 d de gestación (dg) y muestras de útero no gestante (n = 4). La detección de FN se realizó por inmunoperoxidasa indirecta y se determinó el área de inmunomarcaje de FN con el programa Image Pro-plus® 3.0. Se encontró la tinción más intensa de FN en el trofoblasto del conceptus, particularmente en la membrana apical a los 17, 32 y 60 dg; en los mismos períodos la tinción fue más débil en la superficie del epitelio uterino. La FN no se expresó en el epitelio glandular hasta los 107 dg. En el trofoblasto no se encontró diferencia significativa en el porcentaje de área inmunomarcada hasta los 60 dg, momento en el cual se incrementó. En el epitelio luminal endometrial hubo diferencias significativas en el área positiva a FN durante la placentación. Estos resultados sugieren que la FN podría estar involucrada en los mecanismos moleculares que participan en la adhesión y fijación de los epitelios que conforman la interfase feto-materna durante la placentación porcina.

The porcine placenta is epitheliochorial, diffuse, folded, adecidual, and non invasive. Fibronectin (FN) is a dimeric glycoprotein present in the extracellular matrix of most animal tissues; it plays a major role in cell adhesion, migration, implantation and embryogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of FN in the maternal-fetal interface during porcine placentation. Placental tissue samples from sows (n = 12) at 17, 32, 60, and 107 d of gestation (dg) and non-pregnant uterus samples (n = 4) were collected. The detection of FN was performed by indirect immunoperoxidase and the FN area immunolabled was determined with the software Image Pro-Plus® 3.0. The most intensive staining for FN was found in the conceptus´ trophectoderm, particularly in the apical membrane on 17, 32, and 60 dg; staining was weaker in the surface of the uterine epithelium on the same days. FN did not express itself in the glandular epithelium until 107 dg. No significant difference was found in the trophoblast as to the percentage of the immunostaining area until day 60 of gestation, when it decreased. In the endometrial luminal epithelium significant differences were found in the area positive to FN during placentation. These results suggest that FN might be involved in the molecular mechanisms that take part in the adhesion and attachment of the epithelia that makes up the maternal-fetal interface during porcine placentation.
