This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of trophoblast cell differentiation using mouse trophoblast stem cells. The researchers identified N-oleoyldopamine (OLDA) as a compound that promotes the differentiation of trophoblast cells into parietal trophoblast giant cells and represses their differentiation into spongiotrophoblast cells. They also discovered that OLDA regulates the expression of Fosl1, a key regulatory factor in trophoblast cell differentiation.
The placenta plays various roles in a healthy pregnancy, and abnormalities in the placenta result in adverse outcomes. Adequate differentiation of trophoblast subtypes is necessary for placental function, but the molecular mechanisms that determine trophoblast cell fate remain unclear. Here, we screened small molecular compound (SMC) libraries (1904 SMCs) to identify particular SMCs which regulate trophoblast differentiation in mouse trophoblast stem cells (mTSCs) to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate decision in trophoblast cells. The two-step screening revealed a novel effect of N-oleoyldopamine (OLDA), an endogenic vanilloid, to promote differentiation into parietal trophoblast giant cells (P-TGCs) and repress them into spongiotrophoblast cells in mTSCs. Analyses by gene deletion and inhibitor treatments indicated that transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3 (Trpv3), one of the candidates for targeting by OLDA, was involved in maintaining stem status and P-TGC differentiation in mTSCs. Finally, transcriptome analysis revealed that Fosl1, a key regulatory factor in differentiation into P-TGCs, was upregulated by OLDA treatment, suggesting that OLDA promoted the differentiation of mTSCs into P-TGCs via regulation of Fosl1 expression.
