Abstract
Ontogenesis and localization expression of genes encoding for the nuclear receptors for oxysterols (lxralpha and lxrbeta) were investigated in human and mouse placenta during gestation. Both mRNAs were detectable in the placentation throughout the gestation (from 7 days postcoitum and 6th week of gestation in mouse and human, respectively) by Northern blots or RT-PCR experiments. Lxralpha showed a higher accumulation in the mouse yolk sac. In situ hybridization pointed a specific expression of lxralpha in the human amniotic membranes.
