Hyperactivation of canonical Wnt signaling disturbs EPC trophoblast differentiation via repressing Ascl2 expression. a Volcano plot displaying differentially expressed genes (DEG) between the Cyp19-cre and Cyp19-cre; Ctnnb1f(EX3)/+ placentas (fold change > 1.5, P value < 0.05). b, c GO enrichment analysis of increased genes (b) and decreased genes (c) between Cyp 19-cre and Cyp19-cre; Ctnnb1f(EX3)/+ placentas. d Heatmap showing the expression of trophoblast-located genes in the Cyp19-cre and Cyp19-cre; Ctnnb1f(EX3)/+ placentas. e, f The expression of Wnt target genes and Ascl2 was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Values are normalized by Gapdh expression level and indicated as means ± SD. N = 3. *P < 0.05
