Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the placental expression of P-glycoprotein shows a quantitative difference during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: Villous tissue was collected from chorionic villus samples (13-14 weeks of gestation; n = 3 and 20-25 weeks of gestation; n = 4) and from full-term placentas (38-41 weeks of gestation; n = 28). P-glycoprotein was detected by western blot analysis and quantified by densitometry. RESULTS: We showed for the first time a significant and progressive two-fold decrease in the mean expression of P-glycoprotein between early and late samples, with a major overlap of values. CONCLUSION: As P-glycoprotein appears to be involved in drug extrusion, these data suggest that the placenta's ability to protect the fetus from xenobiotics is greater in early pregnancy than at term.
