PPARγ Regulates Trophoblast Proliferation and Promotes Labyrinthine Trilineage Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Abnormal trophoblast differentiation and function is the basis of many placenta-based pregnancy disorders, including pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. PPARgamma, a ligand-activated nuclear receptor, plays essential roles in placental development; null murine embryos die at midgestation due to abnormalities in all placental layers, in particular, small labyrinth and expanded giant cell layer....
