Comparative Study of PPARγ Targets in Human Extravillous and Villous Cytotrophoblasts

Figure 8

Expression of genes targeted by PPARγ and RXRα in RT-EVCTs and RT-VCTs. Gene symbols were retrieved from the normalized gene expression matrix, together with the log2 fold change values in each sample. With these values, boxplots were graphed for (a) RT-EVCTs and (b) RT-VCTs, with upregulation represented in red and downregulation in blue. The grey dashed box indicates the only gene found in both tissue types. PPARγ: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ; RXRα: retinoid x receptor-α; RT-EVCTs: rosiglitazone-treated extravillous cytotrophoblasts; RT-VCTs: rosiglitazone-treated cytotrophoblasts.
