  • Transcription Factors Underlying the Development and Endocrine Functions of the Placenta † † † JAMES C
    Transcription Factors Underlying the Development and Endocrine Functions of the Placenta † † † JAMES C. CROSS,* LYNN ANSON-CARTWRIGHT, AND IAN C. SCOTT *Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1 Canada; †Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X5 Canada ABSTRACT The placenta has been the subject of extensive basic research efforts in two distinct fields. The developmental biology of placenta has been studied because it is the first organ to develop during embryogenesis and because a number of different gene mutations in mice result in embryonic lethality due to placental defects. The trophoblast cell lineage is relatively simple such that only two major, terminally differentiated cell types appear: an “invasive trophoblast” cell subtype such as extravillous cytotrophoblast cells in humans and trophoblast giant cells in mice, and a “transport trophoblast” cell subtype that is a syncytium (syncytiotrophoblast) in humans and mice. These two cell types also have been the focus of endocrinologists because they are the source of major placental hormones. Understanding the transcriptional regulation of placental hormone genes has given insights into the control of specificity of gene expression. Because most placental hormones are produced by very specific trophoblast cell subtypes, the transcriptional details promise to give insights into cell-subtype specification. The fields of developmental biology and molecular endocrinology appear to be meeting on this common ground with the recent discovery of key transcription factors. Specifically, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hand1 is essential for differen- tiation of trophoblast giant cells in mice and also regulates the promoter for the giant cell-specific hormone, placental lactogen I gene (Pl1).

Doan, PhD Michele La Merrill, PhD, MPH Heather Patisaul, PhD Ami Zota, ScD, MS December 2014 A JOINT ENDOCRINE SOCIETY–IPEN INITIATIVE TO RAISE GLOBAL AWARENESS ABOUT ENDOCRINE-DISRUPTING CHEMICALS Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hor- mones and the clinical practice of endo- crinology. The Endocrine Society’s mem- bership consists of over 18,000 scientists, physicians, educators, nurses, and students in more than 100 countries. Society members represent all basic, applied and clinical interests in endocrinology. Included among the Society’s members are the world’s leading experts on the health effects of EDCs. Endocrine Society members have been at the forefront of scientific advancements in the field of EDCs since it was first recognized that exogenous chemicals can have effects on endocrine systems. The Society held its first public meeting on EDCs in conjunction with its Annual Meeting in San Francisco in 2005. The So- ciety’s landmark 2009 Scientific Statement on EDCs was the first comprehensive review of the EDC literature, and it represented the first public statement on the issue from a major mainstream international medical society. IPEN is a leading global network of 700 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in more than 100 developing countries and countries with economies in transition. IPEN works to establish and implement safe chemicals policies and practices to protect human health and the environment.
