Figure Lengend Snippet: Impaired alveolar development in STAT5B Y665 mutant mice at day 18.5 of pregnancy. A Sections of mammary tissue stained with hematoxylin and eosin at day 18.5 of pregnancy with high magnification (x400, Scale bars, 100 μm). The arrow and Asterix indicates alveoli and lumen. Y665, n = 3; Y665H, n = 3; Y665F, n = 4. 50–100 of the alveolar architecture on each slide was quantitatively analyzed using the ImageJ software, with the results visualized through dot plots. (a) milk-secreting alveoli; (b) alveolar lumen; (c) alveolar epithelial cells. B , D and E Heatmaps showing fold activity of significantly regulated genes of milk proteins in red, enzymes in green, fat metabolism in gray, membrane transporters in blue, transcription factors in black (B), cell marker genes (D) and skin-related genes (E) in STAT5B Y665H and STAT5B Y665F mutants compared to WT (RNA-seq; Y665, n = 3; Y665H, n = 3; Y665F, n = 4). C Dot plots with the normalized read counts from RNA-seq to mRNA levels of Stat5 genes controlled by autoregulatory enhancer. Results are shown as the means ± SEM of independent biological replicates (Y665, n = 3; Y665H, n = 3). The Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p -value was used for significance. *** p < 0.0001, **** p < 0.0001
Article Snippet: The expression of STAT5A and STAT5B proteins was detected by overnight incubation with primary antibodies: STAT5A (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-271542) and STAT5B (1:200, R&D Systems, AF1584) at room temperature.
