Microarray analysis of trophoblast differentiation: gene expression reprogramming in key gene function categories
17 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Placental development results from a highly dynamic differentiation program. We used DNA microarray analysis to characterize the process by which human cytotrophoblast cells differentiate into syncytiotrophoblast cells in a purified cell culture system. Of 6,918 genes analyzed, 141 genes were induced and 256 were downregulated by more than 2-fold. Dynamically regulated genes were divided by the K-means algorithm...
