GnRH and its receptor, GnRHR, were shown to promote trophoblastic cell invasion. Detection of elevated early development-related transcription factor TWIST and adhesion molecule N-cadherin in the invasive trophoblastic cells could suggest that GnRH promotes trophoblastic cell invasion through TWIST-regulated N-cadherin pathway.
