The placenta invades the adjacent uterus and controls the maternal immune system, like a cancer invades surrounding organs and suppresses the local immune response. Intriguingly, placental and cancer cells are globally hypomethylated and share an epigenetic phenomenon that is not well understood – they fail to silence repetitive DNA sequences (retrotransposons) that are silenced (methylated) in healthy...
Using a two-step screening system for genes involved in tissue invasion [Kataoka et al., Cancer Lett. 163(2) (2001) 213], we identified a cDNA whose expression level was higher in mouse placenta at later stages of gestation and in sublines of cancer cells with low degrees of invasiveness. The deduced amino acid sequence showed relatively high similarity with β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase2~5...
