PPARγ/RXRα Heterodimers Are Involved in Human CGβ Synthesis and Human Trophoblast Differentiation
2001-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Recent studies performed with null mice suggested a role of either RXRα or PPARγ in murine placental development. We report here that both PPARγ and RXRα are strongly expressed in human villous cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts. Moreover, specific ligands for RXRs or PPARγ (but not for PPARα or PPARδ) increase both human CGβ transcript levels and the secretion of human CG and its free β-subunit. W...
