Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. LEFTY1 Simultaneously Suppresses SMAD2 and SMAD5 in Basal Cells (A) Quantification of pSMAD2-positive cells within the luminal and basal compartments of endogenous ductal structures exposed to LEFTY1-secreting fibro- blasts. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis, Student’s t test. ****p < 0.0001. (B) Quantification of pSMAD2-positive cells within the luminal and basal compartments of endogenous ductal structures exposed to BMP7-secreting fibroblasts. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis, Student’s t test. n.s., non-significant. (C) Quantification of pSMAD5-positive cells within the luminal and basal compartments of endogenous ductal structures exposed to LEFTY1-secreting fibro- blasts. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis, Student’s t test. *p < 0.05; ****p < 0.0001. (D) Quantification of pSMAD5-positive cells within the luminal and basal compartments of endogenous ductal structures exposed to BMP7-secreting fibroblasts. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis, Student’s t test. *p < 0.05; n.s., non-significant. (E) Representative images of the quantified sections for pSMAD2 analysis of mammary glands exposed to LEFTY1-secreting fibroblasts. (F) Representative images of the quantified sections for pSMAD5 analysis of mammary glands exposed to LEFTY1-secreting fibroblasts. (G) Representative images of the quantified sections for pSMAD2 analysis of mammary glands exposed to BMP7-secreting fibroblasts. (H) Representative images of the quantified sections for pSMAD5 analysis of mammary glands exposed to BMP7-secreting fibroblasts. (I) Western blot for pSMAD2, pSMAD5, total SMAD2/3, or SMAD1/5/8 proteins in COMMA-D cells blocked with LEFTY1 and stimulated with BMP7 and Nodal (n = 3). (J) Quantification of the pSMAD5 signal detected by western blot in the indicated conditions. (K) Quantification of the pSMAD2 signal detected by western blot in the indicated conditions. Scale bar, 20 mm. See also Figure S5.
