Figure 1. Kir7.1 is expressed in uterine myocytes and is regulated in pregnancy in mice and humans.

Figure 1

  1. mRNA expression of Kcnj13 in mice (n = 5; mean ± SD, per GD) normalized to GD13. *P < 0.05, Student's t-test.
  2. mRNA expression of KCNJ13 (plotted as arbitrary units relative to 18s rRNA) in human myometrial samples from women at term not in labour (NIL) and at term in labour (LAB) (n = 8; mean ± SD, per group). *P < 0.05, Student's t-test.
  3. Immunoblot of pooled lysates from eye, adipose tissue, NIL and LAB myometrium (n = 4) probed with antibody to human Kir7.1 (full blot available in Supplementary Fig S1).
  4. Immunohistochemistry for Kir7.1 in human NIL myometrium (left panel), GD13 murine myometrium (centre panel) and GD15 murine myometrium (right panel). Arrow indicates absence of staining in blood vessel. Inset panels show tissue treated with pre-absorbed primary antibody control counterstained with haematoxylin. Scale bar = 100 μm.
