Fig. 3. Distribution of proteins involved in PG synthesis, hydrolysis, and signaling in implantation sites on day 8 of pregnancy.
A Fluorescence in situ hybridization of Ptgs1 and COX2 in Trp53f/f and Trp53d/d implantation sites on day 8 of pregnancy. The embryonic trophoblasts are outlined by Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) immunostaining. M mesometrial pole; AM anti-mesometrial pole; Em embryo; SDZ secondary decidual zone; Myo myometrium; scale bar, 500 µm. B Segmented RT-qPCR results for Ptgs2, Ptgs1, Ptgds, Hpgds, in the AM and M-poles in Trp53f/f and Trp53d/d implantation sites on day 8 of pregnancy. C Segmented RT-qPCR results showing the expression of Ptgs2, Ptgs1, Ptgds and Hpgds, Pgdh, Ptgdr, and Ptgdr2 in the M-pole and AM-pole of the implantation sites comparing the Trp53f/f and Trp53d/d implantation sites. Significance is determined by a two-tailed student’s t-test, where * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001.
