Özet |
Ferroptosis and necroptosis are recognized as playing major roles in the regulation of various physiological processes. However, the physiological role of the cell death mediated by these two pathways in the developmental process has not yet been clearly established. This study investigated ferroptosis and necroptosis signalling pathways in maternal–fetal tissue in the different gestational days (GD) of rat pregnancy using immunohistochemical and western blot methods in order to fill this gap. Twenty-four female Wistar albino rats were mated and divided into three groups. Maternal–fetal tissue samples were collected on GD 5, 12 and 19 of pregnancy. Expression and total protein levels of the markers glutathione peroxidase-4, soluble transporter family 7 member 11, transferrin receptor, receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1, receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein were investigated on both the maternal and fetal surfaces of the placenta using immunohistochemical and western blot methods. The results showed varying levels of protein expression of both ferroptosis and necroptosis mediators in the GD 5, 12 and 19 of pregnancy. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that these mediators were located on both the maternal (decidua and metrial gland) and fetal surfaces (labyrinth zone, yolk sac and basal zone) and that their expression levels changed in the different GD. The findings revealed the existence of important ferroptosis and necroptosis pathway mediators in rat maternal–fetal tissue. These results may provide a molecular framework for a better understanding of the communication between the placenta, decidua and fetus during the developmental process. |
