BACKGROUND Our present knowledge about trophoblast turnover in human first trimester placental villi based on multiparametric examination of proliferation and apoptosis is limited. METHODS Human villous placentae collected during 6, 7 and 8 weeks (n = 10/each group) of gestation were examined for trophoblast proliferation and apoptosis based on quantitative analyses of immunopositive Fas, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), cytokeratin 18 fragment (18f), number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) positive nuclei, scores of mitotic and apoptotic indices and ultrastructural characteristics. RESULTS Mitotic index in cytotrophoblast higher (P < 0.05) at 6 week compared with 7 and 8 weeks of gestation showed significant (P < 0.05) negative correlation between its prevalence and gestational age. Syncytiotrophoblast exhibited higher number of TUNEL positive nuclei (P < 0.01), TUNEL positive apoptotic nuclei (P < 0.05) and apoptotic index (P < 0.05) compared with cytotrophoblast at same gestational age. Positive correlations found between cytokeratin 18f and apoptotic index (P < 0.01), Fas and apoptotic index (P < 0.01), TUNEL positive nuclei and apoptotic index (P < 0.05), cytokeratin 18f and Fas (P < 0.01), whereas cytokeratin 18f (P < 0.05) and Fas (P < 0.05) showed positive correlation only with TUNEL positive apoptotic nuclear data. Phalangeal intrusions of syncytiotrophoblast between transitional cytotrophoblasts showed apposed plasma membranes bearing thickened membrane leaflets, inter-membranous gaps enclosing membranous invaginations, liposome-like particles; patches of membrane seen to be dissolved resulting in cytoplasmic continuity typical of syncytial formation. CONCLUSION Cellular remodeling of first trimester villous placenta requires a complex homeodynamics involving proliferation in cytotrophoblast, development-associated syncytialization and apoptosis in syncytiotrophoblast.
