Using double immunostaining procedures, this study clarifies the localization of immunoreactive somatostatin- and immunoreactive hCG-containing cells simultaneously in the human placental villi and decidua. Immunoreactive somatostatin-containing cells were distributed in the cytotrophoblastic monolayer and decidua, while immunoreactive hCG-containing cells distributed exclusively in the syncytiotrophoblastic layer. The immunostainability of endocrine cells in the villi reduced progressively with gestation, however this change was not detected in the decidua. The results indicate that the endocrine placenta is discriminated by a syncytiotrophoblastic layer containing tropic hormone (hCG) and a cytotrophoblastic layer containing suppressive hormone (somatostatin), and that gestation modifies the immunocytological features of the endocrine placenta. However the role of somatostatin in the placental villi and decidua remains unknown.
