Differential Expression of Placental Glucocorticoid Receptors and Growth Arrest-Specific Transcript 5 in Term and Preterm Pregnancies: Evidence for Involvement of Maternal Stress

Figure 2

(a) Immunofluorescent analysis demonstrated expression of GRα primarily in the syncytiotrophoblastic layer of term placentas. (b) Negative control, confirmed specificity of immunostaining. (c) RNA FISH confirmed expression of GAS5 in cytotrophoblasts cells (dotted arrows) and syncytiotrophoblasts cells (white arrows).
