Molecular defects in the oviduct of Lgr4-deficient mice. (A) RNA-seq for mouse oviducts (the estrus stage). Clustered heat map of log2-transformed FPKMs showing the differentially expressed genes after LGR4 deletion. Indicated genes are marked on the right side of the heat map. (B) Gene Ontology analysis. (C) RT-PCR assay showing the relative changes of some representative small molecular factor genes. (D) IHC assays to detect the protein level of OVGP1 in the WT or Lgr4-deficient oviducts. (E) IHC assays to detect the location of PAX8 in the WT and Lgr4-deficient oviductal epithelial cells. p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗p ≤ 0.01. Scale bar, 25 μm in (D,E). RT-PCR, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; IHC, immunohistochemistry.
