Canonical annotations from Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) of increased expression of genes in the whole cervix from prepartum (D21) versus NP rats (A) and Mφ genes exclusively up-regulated in the cervix (whole vs Mφ—depleted) from prepartum rats (B).

<p>Canonical pathways are IPA designations of rankings based on the number of genes with increased or decreased expression; p < 0.01. p value is indicated by triangles. Subheadings reflect IPA assignment of genes in common for Category annotations. Mφ data analysis included expression of genes that were most divergently regulated, exclusively and in common, in cervices from D21 prepartum and NP groups (ratio of fold >2 or < 2, D21 vs NP groups).
