mRNA expression of LYVE1 and podoplanin and LYVE1 protein in the bovine CL during PGF2α-induced luteolysis. LYVE1 mRNA expression decreased in the CL at 12 h as compared with 15 min and 2 h after PGF2α injection (A). LYVE1 protein expression also decreased at 12 h compared with that at 0 min after PGF2α injection (B). Podoplanin mRNA expression was decreased in the CL at all points after PGF2α injection (C). All values are shown as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM; n = 4–5 in each time). *,** Significant difference (P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with control) as determined by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test. # Tendency for a difference (P<0.1) as determined by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test.
