From: The focal adhesion protein Hic-5 is highly expressed in the rat myometrium during late pregnancy and labour and co-localizes with FAK

Figure 5

Northern blot analysis of Hic-5 mRNA expression following administration of progesterone or corn oil (vehicle control) to pregnant rats. (A) Representative Northern blots of Hic-5mRNA expression and 18S rRNA expression. (B) Densitometric analysis illustrating a significant increase (p < 0.05) in Hic-5 mRNA expression on d23-P4 compared to d23 vehicle controls (active labour). Values are from 3 independent experiments (n = 3) ± SE. P4 = progesterone. Designations 21-Oil, 22-Oil, 23-Oil (active labour), 21-P4, 22-P4, 23-P4 represent gestational time-points in the two treatment groups.
