Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Effects of DES on estrogen receptor expression in the spleen of adult male golden hamsters: (A–C) Immunohistochemical localization of ERα, ERβ, and GPER in the splenic tissue. Triangles indicate estrogen receptor-positive cells. Scale bar = 50 µm. (D–F) mRNA expression levels of Esr1, Esr2, and Gper in the spleen. (G–I) Protein expression levels of ERα, ERβ, and GPER in the spleen. Different letters (e.g., a, b, c) indicate statistically significant differences between groups (p < 0.05). Groups sharing at least one common letter are no different from each other (p > 0.05). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
Article Snippet: The sections were then incubated overnight at 4 ◦C with primary antibodies, including mouse anti-human Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antige (PCNA) monoclonal antibody (1:2000, ZSGBBIO, Beijng, China), rabbit anti-mouse caspase-3 polyclonal antibody (1:200, ZSGB-BIO, Beijng, China), rabbit anti-mouse inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) polyclonal antibody (1:200, ZSGB-BIO, Beijng, China), mouse anti-estrogen receptor α (ERα) monoclonal antibody (1:100, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA), rabbit anti-mouse estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) polyclonal antibody (1:300, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), and rabbit anti-mouse G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) polyclonal antibody (1:200, Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA).
