Identification of Novel Trophoblast Invasion-Related Genes: Heme Oxygenase-1 Controls Motility via Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ
9 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Invasion of cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) into uterine tissues is essential for placental development. To identify molecules regulating trophoblast invasion, mRNA signatures of purified villous (CTB, poor invasiveness) and extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) (high invasiveness) isolated from first trimester human placentae and villous explant cultures, respectively, were compared using GeneChip analyses yielding 991...
