Barrier Function
 Fetal membrane has long been considered as a
protective barrier to the fetus against noxious agents
circulating in maternal blood.
 In general , substances of higher molecular weight of >
500 daltons can not cross it, but there are some
exceptions.Antibodies and antigens can cross the
placental barrier in both direction by process of endo &
exo cytosis. It is facilitated by pinocytosis .The race of
drug transfer is increased in late pregnancy . Maternal
viral, bacterial / protozoa infections can reach to fetus
by crossing placental barrier . SimilarlyAny drug taken
by women during pregnancy can cross the placental
barrier in variable concentration and may have
deleterious effect on fetus
Placental Circulation
Placental  blood barrier
Factors for Placental Transfer From Mother
to FetusA. SUBSTANCE Properties
1, Molecular weight : Lower the MW
more is transfer .
2. Lipid solubility: Lipophilic
substances diffuse rapidly.
3 . Ionization : non ionized form
crosses lipid membrane freely.
4 . pH of bnlood favours ionization of
many drugs delays diffusion .
5. Pritein binding.
6. Spatial confugration
B. Maternal Properties
1. drug concentration in maternal
blood – higher concentration –more is
diffusion.
2. Uterine blood flow
3. Concentration gradient on either
side of placental membrane.
C. Placental properties 
1. Lipid membrane of placenta
enhances transfer of lipophilic
substances.
2.Total surface area of placental
membrane .
3. Functional integrity and thickness
of placental barrier.
Mechanism Involved in placental
Transfer
 1, Simple Diffusion: O2 & CO2 transfer take place
by simple diffusion . Partial pressure gradient across
placental barrier is the driving force. O2 supply to
fetus is at the rate of 8ml / Kg / min and this is
achieved with cord flood flow of 165-330 ml/ min
.Excretion of urea, uric acid ,creatinine.
 Facilitated Diffusion: ( transformer mediated using
transporter protein in syncytotrophoblast., glucose
with the help of transporter protein (GLUT I) ,
glucose transfer increases more when maternal
blood glucose is low.
 ActiveTransfer: Against pressure gradient, energy
Atlases mediated ,
Mechanism involved in placental
transfer --------
 Endocytosis: Invagination of cell membrane to
form intra cellular vesicle which contain the extra
cellular molecule.IgG immunoglobulin is taken
up by endocytosis from maternal circulation
 Exocytosis: Release of molecule with in the
vesicle to the extra cellular space ---IgG
immunoglobulin are transferred to fetus from
placenta by exocytosis.
 Leakage: break in placental membrane –Foetal
RBC leak into maternal circulation.
Other functions of Placenta
 Transfer of nutrients and waste products
between mother and fetus ; Hence it attributes
to –1. respiration, 2.excretion 3. nutrition.
 Endocrine function-- placenta is an endocrine
gland ., secrets –HCG , Steroids and peptide
hormones.
 Immunological function.
 Blood Barrier.
Nutritive Function
 Fetus obtains its nutrients from mother., when
mother’s diet is inadequate , then only depletion
of maternal tissue storage occur.
Glucose The principle source of energy is
transferred by Facilitated diffusion .There are
transporter proteins (GLUT I) for this mode of
diffusion. Glucose transfer to fetus is not linear .,
it decreases when mother glucose concentration
increases. Fetal blood glucose level is lower than
that of mother indicating rapid utilization by
fetus.
Nutritive function--
 Lipids Triglycerides and fatty acids are directly
transferred to fetus in early pregnancy but probably
synthesized by fetus itself in late pregnancy
Essential fatty acids are transferred more then non
essential fatty acids. Cholesterol is able to transfer
directly.Thus lipids have dual origin.
 Amino acids They are transferred by active
transfer , energy requiring mechanism(ATPS
Enzyme ). Amino acid concentration in fetal blood is
more then maternal. Gig cross by endocytosis. Fetal
proteins are synthesized from transferred amino
acids ., their concentration is lower than mother.
A
Nutritive Function----
 Water and Electrolytes  Na ,K, Cal
transferred by simple diffusion., Ca, P and Fe
are transferred by active transfer with the
help of transporter proteins against a
concentration gradient.There concentration
is higher than maternal. Water soluble
vitamins are transferred rapidly by active
transport while fat soluble vitamins are
transferred slowly.
Nutritive function---
 Hormones Insulin, steroids from adrenals
,thyroid, HCG, placental Lactogen, cross the
placenta very slowly . Neither paratharmone
nor calcitonin cross the placenta. Placenta
also produceTSH and Growth Hormone.
Enzymatic Function
 Numerous enzymes are mentioned in
placenta ., few of them are---
 1. Diamine oxidase which inactivates
circulatory pressure amines.
 2. Oxytocinase --- neutralises the oxytocin .
 Phospholipase A2-- synthesises archadonic
acid precursor of PGs.
Immunological function
 Fetus and placenta have partial pareantral antigens foreign to
mother inspite of this , fetus is not rejected.Placenta offers
immunological protection,
 Placental hormones , proteins( SP1) early pregnancy factor (EPF)
PAPP-A , Steroid , HCG have got some immune suppressive
effect.
 Villous trophoblast do not express HLA Class 1or class 2
molecules .
 There is shift of maternal response from cell mediated (T helper I
) to hormonal (T helper 2 ) immunity.
 Decidual Natural Killer (NK) cells and extravascular trophoblast
HLA class I molecules inter act ., the cytokinines just derived will
regulate the invasion of extracellular trophoblast in spiral arteies ,
which are converted into low resistance, high conductance utero
placental vessels.

Placental blood barrier

  • 1. PLACENTAL BLOOD BARRIER Prof. M.C.Bansal. Founder Principal &Controller; Jhalawar Medical CollegeAnd Hospital, Jhalawar. Ex Principal & Controller; MahatmaGandhi Medical CollegeAnd Hospital. Sitapura, Jaipur.
  • 2. Barrier Function  Fetal membrane has long been considered as a protective barrier to the fetus against noxious agents circulating in maternal blood.  In general , substances of higher molecular weight of > 500 daltons can not cross it, but there are some exceptions.Antibodies and antigens can cross the placental barrier in both direction by process of endo & exo cytosis. It is facilitated by pinocytosis .The race of drug transfer is increased in late pregnancy . Maternal viral, bacterial / protozoa infections can reach to fetus by crossing placental barrier . SimilarlyAny drug taken by women during pregnancy can cross the placental barrier in variable concentration and may have deleterious effect on fetus
  • 5. Factors for Placental Transfer From Mother to FetusA. SUBSTANCE Properties 1, Molecular weight : Lower the MW more is transfer . 2. Lipid solubility: Lipophilic substances diffuse rapidly. 3 . Ionization : non ionized form crosses lipid membrane freely. 4 . pH of bnlood favours ionization of many drugs delays diffusion . 5. Pritein binding. 6. Spatial confugration B. Maternal Properties 1. drug concentration in maternal blood – higher concentration –more is diffusion. 2. Uterine blood flow 3. Concentration gradient on either side of placental membrane. C. Placental properties  1. Lipid membrane of placenta enhances transfer of lipophilic substances. 2.Total surface area of placental membrane . 3. Functional integrity and thickness of placental barrier.
  • 6. Mechanism Involved in placental Transfer  1, Simple Diffusion: O2 & CO2 transfer take place by simple diffusion . Partial pressure gradient across placental barrier is the driving force. O2 supply to fetus is at the rate of 8ml / Kg / min and this is achieved with cord flood flow of 165-330 ml/ min .Excretion of urea, uric acid ,creatinine.  Facilitated Diffusion: ( transformer mediated using transporter protein in syncytotrophoblast., glucose with the help of transporter protein (GLUT I) , glucose transfer increases more when maternal blood glucose is low.  ActiveTransfer: Against pressure gradient, energy Atlases mediated ,
  • 7. Mechanism involved in placental transfer --------  Endocytosis: Invagination of cell membrane to form intra cellular vesicle which contain the extra cellular molecule.IgG immunoglobulin is taken up by endocytosis from maternal circulation  Exocytosis: Release of molecule with in the vesicle to the extra cellular space ---IgG immunoglobulin are transferred to fetus from placenta by exocytosis.  Leakage: break in placental membrane –Foetal RBC leak into maternal circulation.
  • 8. Other functions of Placenta  Transfer of nutrients and waste products between mother and fetus ; Hence it attributes to –1. respiration, 2.excretion 3. nutrition.  Endocrine function-- placenta is an endocrine gland ., secrets –HCG , Steroids and peptide hormones.  Immunological function.  Blood Barrier.
  • 9. Nutritive Function  Fetus obtains its nutrients from mother., when mother’s diet is inadequate , then only depletion of maternal tissue storage occur. Glucose The principle source of energy is transferred by Facilitated diffusion .There are transporter proteins (GLUT I) for this mode of diffusion. Glucose transfer to fetus is not linear ., it decreases when mother glucose concentration increases. Fetal blood glucose level is lower than that of mother indicating rapid utilization by fetus.
  • 10. Nutritive function--  Lipids Triglycerides and fatty acids are directly transferred to fetus in early pregnancy but probably synthesized by fetus itself in late pregnancy Essential fatty acids are transferred more then non essential fatty acids. Cholesterol is able to transfer directly.Thus lipids have dual origin.  Amino acids They are transferred by active transfer , energy requiring mechanism(ATPS Enzyme ). Amino acid concentration in fetal blood is more then maternal. Gig cross by endocytosis. Fetal proteins are synthesized from transferred amino acids ., their concentration is lower than mother. A
  • 11. Nutritive Function----  Water and Electrolytes  Na ,K, Cal transferred by simple diffusion., Ca, P and Fe are transferred by active transfer with the help of transporter proteins against a concentration gradient.There concentration is higher than maternal. Water soluble vitamins are transferred rapidly by active transport while fat soluble vitamins are transferred slowly.
  • 12. Nutritive function---  Hormones Insulin, steroids from adrenals ,thyroid, HCG, placental Lactogen, cross the placenta very slowly . Neither paratharmone nor calcitonin cross the placenta. Placenta also produceTSH and Growth Hormone.
  • 13. Enzymatic Function  Numerous enzymes are mentioned in placenta ., few of them are---  1. Diamine oxidase which inactivates circulatory pressure amines.  2. Oxytocinase --- neutralises the oxytocin .  Phospholipase A2-- synthesises archadonic acid precursor of PGs.
  • 14. Immunological function  Fetus and placenta have partial pareantral antigens foreign to mother inspite of this , fetus is not rejected.Placenta offers immunological protection,  Placental hormones , proteins( SP1) early pregnancy factor (EPF) PAPP-A , Steroid , HCG have got some immune suppressive effect.  Villous trophoblast do not express HLA Class 1or class 2 molecules .  There is shift of maternal response from cell mediated (T helper I ) to hormonal (T helper 2 ) immunity.  Decidual Natural Killer (NK) cells and extravascular trophoblast HLA class I molecules inter act ., the cytokinines just derived will regulate the invasion of extracellular trophoblast in spiral arteies , which are converted into low resistance, high conductance utero placental vessels.
