Figure 1

Representative images of lobular outlining (green) and unmixing for protein quantification. An overlay image (a) was unmixed into blue hematoxylin (b) and red VDR (c). The unmixed images of dual-labeled slide enable quantification of individual, as well as overlapping signals within the same outlined lobular border. The scale bar represents 50 mm (10× magnification) in the photomicrographs. VDR, vitamin D receptor.

Figure 2

Quantitative comparison of mammary gland lobular CC-3 (a: within groups; b: between groups), P53 (c: within groups; d: between groups), and VDR (e: within groups; f: between groups) proteins measured in SC and HG-exposed rats following unmixing of chromophores using the CRi Nuance Multispectral Imaging System at G20, P1, and P3. Data are shown as mean ± SEM; *significantly different within and between each group (*p<0.05; **p<0.005; ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001).G20, day 20 of gestation; HG, hypergravity; P1, postpartum day 1; P3, postpartum day 3; P53, tumor protein p53; SC, stationary control; SEM, standard error of the mean; VDR, vitamin D receptor.
