A, Representative images of immunoblotting against β-actin, CD44s, and CD10 expressed by ESCs, eESCs and CSCs. B, The results of the densitometric analysis of the expression of CD10. CD10 was significantly induced by stimulation of cells with progesterone, 17β-estradiol, and dibutyryl cAMP for 48 hours and 96 hours (EPA48 h and EPA96 h) in ESCs and eESCs, but not in CSCs, compared with control (cont) cells. The stimulation with 17β-estradiol for 48 hours and 96 hours (E48 h and E96 h) did not lead to a significant increase in CD10. The boxes and bars represent the means and SD of 12 and 16 samples of ESC and eESC/CSC, respectively. Asterisks show a significant increase compared with each cont (P < .05). ESCs indicates the stromal cells taken from the eutopic endometrium of patients without endometriosis; eESCs, the stromal cells taken from the eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis; CSCs, the stromal cells taken from the chocolate cyst linings of the ovaries of patients with endometriosis ; cAMP, cyclic adenosine monophosphate; SD, standard deviation.
