PPAR /RXR Heterodimers Are Involved in Human CG Synthesis and Human Trophoblast Differentiation
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies performed with null mice suggested a role of either RXR alpha or PPAR gamma in murine placental development. We report here that both PPAR gamma and RXR alpha are strongly expressed in human villous cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts. Moreover, specific ligands for RXRs or PPAR gamma (but not for PPAR alpha or PPAR delta) increase both human CG beta transcript levels and the secretion of...
