Abstract: tN-carbamylglutamate (NCG) had a positive effect on placental development and function in sow. To reveal the mechanism of NCG regulation on placental function, this research used pig placental trophoblast cells (pTr) as an in vitro model to evaluate the effect of NCG on cell proliferation and related gene expression. The result showed that NCG (1-25 mmol/L) increased pTr cell proliferation 1.2 to 1.5 folds (P<0.05), in which 10 mmol/L NCG upregulated CDK4, CCND1, SLC2A, and CAT gene expressions (P<0.05). The result demonstrated that NCG could stimulate pTr cell proliferation through upregulating genes related with cell cycle, glucose transportation and antioxidant stress processes.

Key words: N-carbamylglutamate, placenta trophoblast cell, cell proliferation, gene expression
