As PML is important for controlling major cellular processes, such as growth and differentiation, it is believed that it plays an important role during human gestation. The human placenta is a critical organ for the maintenance of gestation, but the expression pattern and functional significance of PML in the placenta have not been documented. The present study has therefore investigated the expression of PML in the human placenta and in choriocarcinoma, and has observed the biological effects following the overexpression of PML in choriocarcinoma cell lines (BeWo and JEG\u20103). In the human placenta, PML expression was readily found in villous stromal fibroblasts, capillary endothelial cells, Hofbauer cells, and occasionally in amnion cells. Moreover, immunoblotting of placental lysates demonstrated increased PML expression with increasing gestation. Interestingly, PML expression was confined to intermediate trophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells at the placental site (placental site giant cells) in the trophoblastic cell population. Intermediate trophoblasts at non\u2010placental sites, and villous cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts consistently did not express PML. Further screening of PML expression in hydatidiform moles (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 4) and choriocarcinomas (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 7) also revealed selective PML expression in intermediate trophoblastic cells and syncytiotrophoblastic cells, but not in the cytotrophoblastic populations, which corresponds well with observations in the placental bed. Adenoviral transduction of PML resulted in a marked reduction in cell growth in both choriocarcinoma cell lines, which was associated with increased apoptosis. The findings of the present study strongly suggest that PML plays an important role in human placental development and growth, and in the pathobiology of trophoblasts and trophoblastic neoplasia.
