Figure 6.
Northern analysis of cyclin D1 and c-myc mRNA levels in wt and ΔN89β-catenin mammary glands. mRNA was extracted from virgin (10 wk [10w Vir]), midpregnant (8 d [8d Preg]), and late pregnant (18 d [18d Preg]) mammary glands. Northern blots were prepared and probed with cDNAs encoding cyclin D1, c-myc, and K18 as a control to permit normalization for epithelial content of the mRNA samples. Note cyclin D1 and c-myc levels are abnormally elevated in transgenic (TG) virgin mice compared with their wt littermates.
