Expression and function of YAP in mouse uterus during the repair phase. a, b Inflammatory-infected and postpartum mouse uterine sections stained with antibodies against YAP (a) were examined by immunofluorescence microscopy, and quantification of YAP+ positive cells was performed (b). Scale bars, 100 μm. c Percentage of sections encompassing each of morphological stages for the negative control (NC, DMSO) and verteporfin (VP) groups on Day 22 and Day 10. d, e Immunofluorescent images of uterine sections from inflammatory-infected mice stained with antibodies against BrdU (d) at Day 20, postpartum mice at Day 5, and quantification of BrdU+ positive cells (e). Scale bars, 100 μm. The data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. Data are means ± S.E.M. of at least three independent experiments.. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
