mRNA expression levels of RGS2 and RGS5 during pregnancy in wild‐type (WT) and knockout mouse uterine arteries, mesenteric arteries, and aorta. mRNA expression was determined from isolated uterine arteries, mesenteric arteries, and aorta by RT‐qPCR. A, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in uterine arteries from WT mice at nonpregnant (NP), gestation day 10 (D10), gestation day 15 (D15), gestation day 18 (D18), and postpartum day 3 (PPD3; RGS2: NP n=3, D10 n=5, D15 n=6, D18 n=3, and PPD3 n=5; RGS4: NP n=4, D10 n=4, D15 n=4, D18 n=4, and PPD3 n=3; RGS5: NP n=7, D10 n=4, D15 n=9, D18 n=5, and PPD3 n=4). B, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in uterine arteries from Rgs2−/− mice at NP, D10, D15, D18, and PPD3 (RGS4: NP n=4, D10 n=5, D15 n=4, D18 n=5, and PPD3 n=5; RGS5: NP n=6, D10 n=5, D15 n=4, D18 n=5, and PPD3 n=5). C, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in uterine arteries from Rgs5−/− mice at NP, D10, D15, D18, and PPD3 (RGS2: NP n=6, D10 n=3, D15 n=5, D18 n=5, and PPD3 n=10; RGS4: NP n=5, D10 n=3, D15 n=5, D18 n=5, and PPD3 n=5). D, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in mesenteric arteries from WT mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS2: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=4; RGS4: NP n=4, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=4; RGS5: n=4, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=4). E, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in mesenteric arteries from Rgs2−/− mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS4: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS5: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3). F, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in mesenteric arteries from Rgs5−/− mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS2: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS4: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3). G, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in aorta from WT mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS2: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS4: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS5: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3). H, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in aorta from Rgs2−/− mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS4: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS5: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3). I, mRNA expression of RGS2, RGS4, and RGS5 in aorta from Rgs5−/− mice at NP, D15, and PPD3 (RGS2: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3; RGS4: NP n=3, D15 n=3, and PPD3 n=3). Values are mean±SE. *,**P<0.05, 0.01 vs NP.
