Gene expression signatures in uteri from WT and Arg260-ERα mice in response to E2

To further study gene expression regulated by 17b-estradiol in uteri, we have employed whole gene microarray profiling to identify genes specifically regulated by this site of methylation of ERa (Arg260). Control littermates were used named WT. 17b-estradiol induced gene expression in uteri from ovariectomized mice was measured after 6 hours exposure to 0 (PLB) and 8µg/kg of 17b-estradiol (E2) injected subcutaneously in castor oil.
