mRNA expression of collagen and factors involved in fibrillogenesis. Messenger RNA expression of genes encoding collagens I and III (Col1a and Col3a), enzymes required for collagen cross-link formation (Lox and Plod2), and matricellular proteins (Sparc, Tnc, and Thbs 1, 2) were evaluated in gestation day 15, day 15 sham, day 15 IU-LPS, and day 18 cervix. Data represent the average of five to eight cervices for each time point or treatment ±SEM (*P ≤ 0.05).
