GTP-bound state of RAC1 is influenced by the ITGB8 in the endometrial epithelial cells in course of endometrial receptivity. (A) RAC1 activity in terms of a GTP-bound state was analyzed in the isolated and cultured endometrial epithelial cells during various stages of endometrial receptivity period. (B) We also determined the activity of RAC1 in the whole uterus during endometrial receptivity period. (C) At the same time, we assayed the expression and activity of RAC1 in the endometrial epithelial cells after Itgb8 knockdown by its siRNA. (D) With the help of immunoblotting, PCR and densitometry, the expression of RAC1 and activity were determined in the whole uterus/endometrium during the post-receptivity phase in response to Itgb8 knockdown (morpholino oligonucleotides).
