Fig 3. Relative expression (mRNA) and protein levels of FOLR1 in BP and CP of human placentas.

Fig 3

A) mRNA of FOLR1 was determined by RT-qPCR in relation to the geometric mean expression of 3 housekeeping genes (GAPDH, YWHAZ and β-actin) and expressed as median and 25-75th percentiles. *p<0.0001; # p<0.0001 vs. term newborns. B) Western blots using Vinculin as calibrator and Caco2 cells as positive control. C) Western blot signals were determined by densitometry and expressed as median and 25-75th percentiles. *p <0.0013; #p <0.0001 vs term newborns. Mann Whitney test. FOLR1: α folate receptor; BP: basal plate; CP: chorionic plate.
