Figure 3

Real time PCR for the message for the short and long form of prolactin receptor in total cholangiocyte RNA (0.75 μg) from normal and BDL female rats. Normal female cholangiocytes express both the short and long form of prolactin receptor mRNA (expressed as ratio to GAPDH mRNA); following BDL, the expression of both the short and long form of prolactin receptor mRNA (expressed as ratio to GAPDH mRNA) significantly increased in purified cholangiocytes. Data are mean ± SEM of 3 experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. relative expression of short and long prolactin receptor mRNA of normal cholangiocytes. NR = normal rat; PRLR = prolactin receptor.
