Dalteparin and gsHep elicit similar gene expression and protein release from first trimester placental villous explants. (A) Both treatments dose-dependently suppressed mRNA levels of PlGF and sFLT1 while increasing mRNA levels of the proliferation gene PCNA. (B) Glycol-split heparin and dalteparin increased PlGF release into the conditioned media without significantly affecting sFlt1 release. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared to no heparin controls. n = 6 placenta and media samples. PlGF, placental growth factor; sFlt1, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
