(A) Volcano plot for the comparison of RNA-seq data between control and in vitro decidualization (IVD). Nonchanged genes are shown in blue, while differently expressed genes (fold-change > 2 and FDR < 0.05) are denoted in red or green. (B) Validation of PRL and IGFBP1 gene expression by quantitative RT-PCR. The GAPDH gene was used as the reference gene for normalization. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Primer sequences: PRL-forward: aagctgtagagattgaggagcaaa; PRL-reverse: tcaggatgaacctggctgacta; IGFBP1-forward: ccaaactgcaacaagaatg; IGFBP1-reverse: gtagacgcaccagcagag; GAPDH-forward: gaaggtgaaggtcggagt; GAPDH-reverse: gatggcaacaatatccactt. (C) PRL and IGFBP1 gene expression upon IVD according to microarray data from Garrido-Gomez et al. (2).

(A) Overview of genomic studies performed on decidua basalis from preeclampsia patients. Included are Garrido-Gomez et al. (2), Lian et al. (3), Løset et al. (4), and Yong et al. (5). (B and C) Overlap of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes among these four studies, respectively. Differentially expressed genes shared in two or more studies are labeled on the Venn diagram. (D and E) Overlap of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes between in vitro decidualization and in vivo decidualization (DB and DP) from Garrido-Gomez et al. (2), respectively.
