Fig. 3. Reduction in proliferation and in the levels of differentiation markers
in Stat6-/- mice. (A) Immunoblots for Stat6,
phosphorylated (p)Akt, Akt, pERK1/2, ERK1/2, ß-casein, pStat5, Stat5,
Gata3, Pten, IL-4R
and
-tubulin were performed on wild-type (WT)
and Stat6-/- tissue extracts at the indicated time points.
(B) Immunoblots from A were quantified using ImageJ software and
plotted on a histogram. (C) A microarray analysis of differentially
regulated genes at day 5 of gestation comparing wild-type and
Stat6-/- mammary glands. Genes listed displayed a
statistically significant change across three biological replicates with a
P value of <0.01.
