Fig. 7. Lif overexpression upregulates BMP signaling and antagonizes IGF signal. (A) Embryos were either not injected (-) or injected with 20 pg of lif mRNA (lif) at the two-cell stage. They were cultured until stage 12.5 and processed for RT-qPCR analysis. (B) Embryos were injected with 1 ng of igf1 mRNA (igf) or with 1 ng of igf1 together with 20 pg of lif mRNA (igf+lif). Animal caps were explanted at blastula stage and cultured until stage 18 before RT-qPCR analysis. (C) Embryos were either not injected (-) or injected with 20 pg of lif mRNA (lif). They were cultured until stage 18 and processed for RT-qPCR analysis. Soc3 was used as a control of lif signaling activation. Five embryos or 15–20 caps were used in each lot. All values were normalized and calibrated to the expression of the reference gene odc. Bar plots show the mean ±SEM of at least three independent experiments. Image published in: Jalvy S et al.
