Gene expression regulating epithelial intercellular junction biogenesis during human blastocyst development in vitro
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
We investigated gene expression associated with trophectoderm epithelial intercellular junction formation in single human embryos at different stages of cleavage using RT-PCR methods based upon magnetic bead separation of polyA+ RNA. Trophectoderm tight junction (TJ) and desmosome biogenesis contribute to intercellular sealing and tissue integrity, critical for vectorial transport and blastocoel cavity formation....
