Effects of hormone stimulation of 3D-cultured BOECs on cell height, ciliation and oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) expression under control, and simulated luteal and pre-ovulatory conditions. a Top and middle figures: 3D reconstruction of confocal immunofluorescent (IF) images for cilia (acetylated alpha-tubulin, green), nuclei (HOECHST 33342, blue), and actin filaments (phalloidin, red); bottom figures: IF for nuclei (blue) and OVGP1 (yellow). b Quantification of cell height in the different groups (F = 697.51, p < 0.0001; ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test). c Average percentage of ciliated cells for each group (F = 20.415, p = 0.002; ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test). d Quantification of OVGP1 expression adjusted for cell number (F = 12.52, p < 0.0001; ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test). Graph of b displays average ± s.d and graphs of c and d display average + s.d. Different letters (a vs b vs c in b; a vs b in c and d) indicate statistically significant differences (n = 6 devices per condition and pool, p < 0.05). Scale bars represent 10 µm
