PPAR-γ Regulates Trophoblast Differentiation in the BeWo Cell Model

Figure 5

Effect of PPAR-γ manipulation on free β-hCG release from BeWo cells and cell number. (a) Free β-hCG release was measured at 48 hours after-treatment and its levels were normalized to total protein content in the media. (b) BeWo cell numbers were measured using CellTiter-Fluo Cell Viability Assay at 48 hours of treatment. Each drug treatment was compared to its respective vehicle control and expressed as fold-change (vehicle set as 1, red dashed line). Values are represented as mean ± SEM; # versus vehicle control; * ; ( ). Ro: rosiglitazone; T: T0070907; For: forskolin.
