Potential Foxl2 target genes validated by comparison to data from other microarray studies. Gene Functions were obtained from the Ovarian kaleidoscope data base¹, NCBI RefSeq², and UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot³. All genes listed that do not have an asterisk after the gene symbol are common to our study and the in vivo in mouse ovary study only [7]. Genes denoted by a single asterisk* are common to our study and the human KGN cell line only [6]. Those indicated by ** are common to all three studies. The StAR*** and GnRHR*** genes were found to be Foxl2 regulated in our study and do not appear in the KGN [6] or in vivo [7] studies. Fold change numbers indicate relative gene expression levels. Group designations: (-) decreased fold expression; (+) increased fold expression. NA = Normal: Activated (mock transfected compared to Foxl2-VP16 transfected). NR = Normal: Repressed (mock transfected compared Foxl2-Mad transfected). RA = Repressed: Activated (Foxl2-Mad compared to Foxl2-VP16). E16 = mouse embryonic stage day 16. E13 = mouse embryonic stage day 13. P0 = mouse birth stage.
