[Characteristics of the production of chorionic gonadotropin by the cells of trophoblastic tumors (immunohistochemical research)]. 1988

K M Pozharisskiĭ, and E E Zueva, and A Iu Nikitin

An immunohistochemical investigation of chorionic gonadotropin (CGT) in normal placental, hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma tissues was undertaken. Cyto- and syncytiotrophoblast both were shown to produce the hormone in normal and tumor trophoblast; the rate of synthesis increased in proportion to the degree of cell elements differentiation, except for very large elements of syncytiotrophoblast with numerous pycnotic nuclei which were found to contain either only traces of response to CGT or none at all. The percentage of syncytiotrophoblast--produced hormone progressively increased in the succession of the placenta--hydatidiform mole--choriocarcinoma. No significant difference in the levels of immunohistochemically--identified hormone was found in the hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma.

D008297 Male Males
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D002822 Choriocarcinoma A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL). Choriocarcinomas
D005260 Female Females
D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).

D006828 Hydatidiform Mole Trophoblastic hyperplasia associated with normal gestation, or molar pregnancy. It is characterized by the swelling of the CHORIONIC VILLI and elevated human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Hydatidiform moles or molar pregnancy may be categorized as complete or partial based on their gross morphology, histopathology, and karyotype.
