Abstract excerpt
We tested the hypothesis that the expression levels of p53 and the pro-apoptotic mediators from the Bcl-2 family are higher in cytotrophoblasts, when compared to cultures with abundant syncytiotrophoblasts. Cytotrophoblasts isolated from normal term human placentas were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle medium (DMEM) for 24 h, when the cytotrophoblast phenotype predominates, in DMEM for 72 h, when the...
