RND3 is upregulated in first-trimester placental CTB in patients with RM. (A,B,D) RND3 expression in first-trimester human villi tissues from patients with RM or HC was determined using qRT-PCR (n = 11) and western blot analysis (n = 6). (C,E) Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded villous tissues showed that RND3 expression was increased in patients with RM compared with that in HC (n = 18). Scale bar = 100 μm. (D) Histogram showing the relative expression level of RND3 protein in HTR-8 cells as determined using ImageJ software. (E) The staining intensity of RND3 in both CTB and STB in paraffin-embedded villous tissues was quantified using Image-Pro Plus 6.0. CTB, cytotrophoblast; STB, syncytiotrophoblast. ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 vs. HC.
