Expression of MiTF in cervical stromal and myometrial tissues from pregnant women before or after labor. Quantitative PCR with isoform-specific primers and standard curves for each isoform were used to compare expression of MiTF in cervical and myometrial tissues from pregnant women before cervical ripening [not in labor (NIL), open bar)] and after labor [in labor (IL), solid bar)]. Data represent mean ± sem of 12–13 women in each group. **, P ≤ 0.01; *, P ≤ 0.05.
