Figure 4. RNA transcripts consistently enriched in placental decidua basalis (DB) specimens compared to villous trophoblast (VT).

Figure 4.

(A) Heat map of RNA transcripts identified as being relatively enriched in the DB or VT in at least one of the three delivery scenarios [intra-amniotic infection (IAI), idiopathic preterm birth (iPTB), and term). (B) Three-dimensional scatterplot of principal component analysis (PCA) results for transcripts enriched in either the DB (red dots) or VT (green dots) specimens. Both methods revealed that 13 of the 15 DB specimens co-clustered, whereas the remainder clustered with the VT specimens.
