Deletion of <i>Prss35</i> on embryo implantation and the expression of decidualization markers in D7.5 uterus.

<p>A. A representative uterus from D7.5 WT mice. B. A representative uterus from D7.5 <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) mice. A & B. Red arrows, implantation sites. C. The average number of implantation sites per mouse in the WT (+/+, N = 7) or <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) (−/−, N = 7) females. All the mating males were <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) for both groups except one WT male mated with one female in the WT group. Error bars, standard deviation. D∼I. Expression of decidualization markers in D7.5 uterus by <i>in situ</i> hybridization. D. <i>Dtprp</i> in WT uterus. E. <i>Dtprp</i> in <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) uterus. F. <i>Prlpi</i> in WT uterus. G. <i>Prlpi</i> in <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) uterus. H. <i>Abp1</i> in WT uterus. I. <i>Abp1</i> in <i>Prss35</i>^(−/−) uterus. Red star, embryo; M, mesometrial side; AM, antimesometrial side; scale bars, 500 µm.
