Stromal deletion of STAT3 enhances estrogenic responses in the peri-implantation uterus. (A, B) The mRNA expression levels of E2 responsive genes Muc1, C3, and Ltf and P4 responsive genes Ihh and Hoxa10 in Stat3-eCtrl and Stat3-eKO uteri were examined by qPCR. (C, D) E2 responsive genes Muc1, C3 and Ltf and P4 responsive genes Ihh and Hoxa10 in Stat3-sCtrl and Stat3-sKO uteri were evaluated by qPCR (*, P < 0.05, mean ± SEM, Student’s t test). All assays were performed with more than three biological replicates derived from different mice.
