Article Title: LPS Disrupts Endometrial Receptivity by Inhibiting STAT1 Phosphorylation in Sheep
doi: 10.3390/ijms252413673
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of LPS or fludarabine treatment on the expression of endometrial receptivity-related genes under hormone treatment. ( A ) The protein level of p-STAT1 and T-STAT1 in sEECs. ( B ) The secretion of PGE2 and PGF2α in sEECs. ( C – E ) The pro-conceptus elongation genes ISG15 , RSAD2 , CXCL10 , adhesion molecules ITGB1/3/5 , MUC1 , SPP1 , and receptivity markers HOXA10 , HOXA11 , LIF mRNA expression levels in sEECs. GAPDH (sheep) was used as the reference gene in all samples. ( F ) Confocal microscope images of SPP1 expression in four treatment groups. Red: Cy3-labeled SPP1 protein; blue, DAPI-labeled nuclei; scale bar: 20 µm. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n ≥ 3; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, the permeabilized cells were blocked with 2% BSA for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies against SPP1 (1:200; WL02378; Wanleibio Co., Ltd., Shenyang, China) and cytokeratin 18 (1:200; AF0191; Affinity Biosciences, Cincinnati, OH, USA) at 4 °C overnight.
