초록

태반 (placenta)은 임신기간 동안에만 존재하는 태아유래 일시적인 기관으로, 모체와 태아간의 정확한 조절 기전을 통해 태아의 발달을 수행하는 중요한 기관이다. 영양막세포 (trophoblast)는 임신 초기 빠른 분열 및 분화 과정을 거쳐 태반을 형성하는 주요 세포이다. 영양막세포의 역할은 초기 배아 착상 시기부터 40주간의 임신기간 동안 태반의 형성 과정에서 다양하게 변화된다. 착상은 모체 자궁내막층으로의 포배의 가장 밖에 존재하는 분화된 영양막세포(예, 합포영양막세포)의 침윤에 의해 이루어진다. 또한, 영양막세포은 임신기간 동안 배아의 성숙과 발달에 필요한 영양분과 노폐물 등을 모체와 태아 양방향으로 적절하게 전달할 뿐 아니라 태반 내에서 침윤과 다양한 물질들의 합성 혹은 분비에 관련된 대사작용에 관여한다. 이 기간 동안 영양막세포의 기능 이상은 태아의 선천적인 기형뿐 아니라 자간전증 등을 포함하는 다양한 산과질환을 유발하기도 한다. 그러므로, 영양막세포는 태반과 태아의 발달에 결정적인 요인으로 작용한다. 본 고찰에서는 다양한 영양막세포들의 기능을 이해하기 위해 분류 및 그 종류별 특징 등을 살펴보고, 착상 단계와 태반 발달에 따른 영양막세포의 고유한 역할에 대해 알아보고 향후 활용될 수 있는 연구 분야에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

The placenta, which is a temporary organ derived from the fetus during pregnancy, is critical to support fetus development via optimal regulation between mother and fetus. Trophoblast as a major cell population of the placenta is one of the earliest to differentiate and shows an extensive proliferation or/and differentiation up to the formation of the placenta. The role of the trophoblast show dynamic changes from early embryo implantation to placentation during pregnancy. Implantation of the blastocyst into the endometrium of the maternal uterus is mediated by invasion of the differentiated trophoblast (e.g. syncytiotrophoblast) from the trophectoderm. During pregnancy, the unique role of the trophoblast is to invasion, eroding, and metastasizing in the placenta as well as to ensure appropriate bidirectional nutrient or waste flow required for growth and maturation of the embryo. The dysfunction of the trophoblast during pregnancy can result in several gynecological diseases including preeclampsia and congenital malformation in neonatal medicine. Therefore, trophoblasts act as a conclusive factor in placental and fetal development. This brief review outlines the classification of trophoblast and its function in the placenta during pregnancy. Also, we introduce the latest research in trophoblast for implantation and the placenta development, and the application potential of trophoblast for infertility and obstetrical diseases.
