Figure 5. Effects of Gαqloop on proliferation of parathyroid glands.

Figure 5

(a) Fluorescence microscopy images of the parathyroid gland of control double transgenic TgPTHp–Cre/ROSA26-rtTA-IRES-EGFP/WT and triple transgenic TgPTHp–Cre/ROSA26-rtTA-IRES-EGFP/TgPTHp–Gqloop mice. Parathryroid glands express eGFP under the control of the ROSA26 promoter (generated by crossing PTH-Cre with ROSA26-rtTA-IRES-EGFP mice). (b) Histologic appearance of parathyroid gland from wild-type (WT) mice and TgPTHp–Gqloop sex-matched littermates. Sections were prepared from adult mice for light microscopy and stained with H&E. The upper panels show original magnification × 10, and the lower panels show magnification × 40 of the thyroid and parathyroid glands from wild-type mice (WT) and TgPTHp–Gqloop littermates. All mice are 2 months of age. Tissues are formalin fixed and have been stained with H&E.
