Figure Lengend Snippet: PS-NPs exposure induced placental injuries ( A ) Representative images of placentas from the control and different PS-NPs treatment groups (1, 10, and 100 mg/kg) at GD 18.5. ( B ) Histograms of placental weight ( n = 8). ( C ) Histograms of the placental/body weight ratio (%; n = 8). ( D ) Histograms of placental diameter ( n = 8). ( E ) Representative HE stained images of placental tissues (D: decidual, JZ: junctional zone, LZ: labyrinth zone, scale bar = 500 μm). ( F ) Percentages of the decidual, junctional and labyrinth zones relative to the total placental area. ( G ) Representative HE stained images of the blood sinus, scale bar = 50 μm. ( H ) Quantification of the blood sinus area. ( I ) Immunostaining images of CD34 in the mouse placenta, scale bar = 20 μm. ( J ) Quantification of CD34-positive area in mouse placenta. ( K ) Relative mRNA expression of Eomes , Ascl2 , Fra1 and Hand1 in various groups. ( L ) PCNA protein expression in different groups. ( M , N ) Relative mRNA and protein expression of ZO1 , Claudin1 and Occludin . * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
Article Snippet: After three washes with PBS, the sections were incubated with a recombinant rabbit anti-CD34 primary antibody (GB15001, Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) at a dilution of 1:200 for immunohistochemical analysis.
