Objective To examine the effects of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) on extravillous trophoblast (EVTC) invasiveness and on EVTC expression/secretion of heparin binding-EGF (HB-EGF) and cystein-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61), both of which are involved in the process of EVTC invasion. Furthermore, to investigate the intracellular DNA binding activity of activator protein (AP)-1. Design Experimental study. Setting Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome, Italy. Patient(s) Cultures of primary EVTC cells isolated from patients with first trimester unexplained recurrent miscarriage. Intervention(s) The effects of LMWHs on EVTC invasiveness were examined by an in vitro matrigel invasion assay. Matrix metalloprotease-2 activity (MMP-2) was examined by gelatin zimography. HB-EGF and Cyr61 expression and secretion were studied by Western blot analysis and ELISA assay. AP-1 activity was measured through a multiwell colorimetric assay. Main Outcome Measure(s) The EVTC invasiveness, the expression/secretion of HB-EGF and Cyr61 proteins, and the AP-1 DNA binding activity in the presence of increasing concentrations of LMWHs were investigated. Result(s) Both LMWHs, and primarily tinzaparin, increased EVTC invasiveness, by enhancing the MMP-2 proteolytic activity, and induced the expression/secretion of HB-EGF and Cyr61 in EVTC. This effect was mediated by an increased DNA binding activity of AP-1. Conclusion(s) Both LMWHs are able to promote EVTC development because they are able to stimulate the EVTC invasive properties. Our results may provide a possible biological rationale for the clinical use of LMWH for placental-mediated pregnancy complications unrelated to prothrombotic disorders.
