Effect of ethanol and acetaldehyde on invasive capacity of SGHPL4 extravillous cytotrophoblast cells.

<p>Invasion through a matrigel coated filter of SGHPL4 cells after treatment. (a) Invasion after exposure to ethanol. There was no effect of ethanol at any concentrations used (p>0.05; N = 6). (b) Invasion after exposure to acetaldehyde. Treatment with acetaldehyde also had no effect on the cell’s ability to invade through the matrigel-coated barrier membrane (p>0.05; N = 5). Statistical analysis with Wilcoxon signed-rank as compared to control.
