Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative photomicrographs of macrophages (F4/80-stained) and neutrophils (GR-1-stained) with methyl green or hematoxylin counterstain in sections of cervix from mice on day 16.5 postbreeding or postpartum (PP*, indicates for Veh group postbreeding day 19 and for onapristone [Ona] and RU486 groups day 17 postbreeding). Mice were treated with vehicle (Veh) or PR antagonist (Ona or RU486).

Article Snippet: 52 Adjacent sections were processed by immunohistochemistry to identify F4/80-stained macrophages (1:800 dilution; product no. T-2006; Bachem, Torrance, California) or GR-1 neutrophils (1:100; MCA771G; Abd Serotec, Raleigh, North Carolina).

Techniques: Staining

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of PR antagonist treatment on cell nuclei (CN), density of macrophage, and neutrophils on days postbreeding and postpartum (PP). Groups and other designations are the same as in previous figures. Density of immune cells was normalized to CN to account for structural variability as detailed in the Methods section. Data are the mean ± standard error of the mean [SEM]. P < .05 vs aD15 controls (Con), bD16.5 vehicle-injected (Veh), cD16.5 onapristone (Ona), dD16.5 RU486, and fD17 Ona (analysis of variance [ANOVA]).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of progestogen on density of resident macrophages and neutrophils in the cervix from groups of mice described in Figure 4. P < .05 versus aD15 controls (Con), bD16.5 Sham-operated (Sham), cD16.5 E + P ovariectomized (Ovx), dD16.5 R5020 Ovx, eD16.5 medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA Ovx), fD17 Sham, gD18 Sham, hD18 mice ovariectomized with estradiol and progesterone (E + P Ovx) and D18.5 E-P Ovx (data not shown), iD18 R5020 Ovx, jD18 MPA Ovx, and oD16.5 mice ovariectomized with vehicle (Ovx + Veh).

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) F4/80 labeling of primary tumors from rlOrl −/− and rlOrl +/+ mice. Bar = 50 µm. (b) High magnification view of the areas outlined in (a). Bar = 20 µm. (c) Quantification of the area occupied by F4/80-positive cells, rlOrl +/+ n=6, rlOrl −/−: n=6. (d) qPCR analysis of iNOS (M1), Arg1 (M2), Mrc1 (M2), and IL-10 gene expression in primary tumors from rlOrl −/−mice, gene expression levels are relative to those in tumors from rlOrl +/+ controls. (e) Western blot of Arg1 and β-actin expression in primary tumors from rlOrl −/− and rlOrl +/+mice. (f) Quantification of band intensities in (e). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Statistical significance determined using two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t-test.

Article Snippet: The antibodies used were rat anti-F4/80 (1:1000, Abbiotec), Alexa Fluor 594 donkey anti-rat (1:500, Life Technologies).
