Effect of passage number or estrous cycle stage on MUC16, OVGP1 and IL8 mRNA expression. Normalized mRNA expression of a MUC16; c OVGP1; and e IL8 in BOEC of in vivo samples and of cell culture passages P0, P1, P2 and P3 with LOW and HIGH glucose medium content (n = 8); and d magnified inset of OVGP1 in BOEC in cell culture passages P0, P1, P2 and P3 with LOW and HIGH glucose medium content as well as normalized mRNA expression depending of the phase of the estrous cycle on day of collecting cells of b MUC16 in LOW glucose medium; and f IL8 in HIGH glucose medium (n = 4). Different letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) between cell culture passages of the same glucose medium content (ab and de for LOW and HIGH glucose medium content, respectively). Asterisk on top of the line represents significant difference between different glucose content of medium at each cell culture passage or between the different estrous cycle phases on day of collection (P < 0.05)
