Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated that AP-2alpha induces the expression of the hPL and hCG genes in cultured trophoblast cells

Since AP-2alpha induces the expression of hPL , hCG and other syncytiotrophoblast-specific marker genes in cytotrophoblast cells during in vitro differentiation, we have examined whether AP-2alpha also induces hCRH gene expression during differentiation of cytotrophoblast cells
