Temporal Regulation of the Expression of Syncytin (HERV-W), Maternally Imprinted PEG10, and SGCE in Human Placenta1
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Maternally imprinted PEG10 and SGCE, separated by approximately 2.15 Mb from Syncytin (HERV-W) gene at 7q21.3, are implicated in choriocarcinoma and Silver-Russell syndrome. Here we have analyzed the temporal regulation of mRNA expression of these genes in placenta and demonstrate that Syncytin gene activation is highest in term placenta, PEG10, downregulated at early hypoxic phase, and highly activated at 11-12...
