kE2F8 is induced by oxidative stress and DNA damage during decidualization. (A) The SOD activity in decidua tissues on day 8 of pregnancy. (B) The SOD activity in stromal cells under in vitro decidualization. The mRNA level of E2f8 in stromal cells treated with H₂O₂ (C) and Paraquat (D) for the induction of oxidative stress. (E) Western blot of p-H2A.X in mouse uterus from day 7 and 8 of pregnancy. The mRNA of E2f8 in stromal cells treated with UV (F) and CPT (G). (H) Western blot of E2F8 and p-H2A.X in stromal cells treated with CPT.
