Tregs enhance ESC proliferation and invasiveness. (a) ESCs from ectopic lesions from patients with endometriosis were co-cultured with or without CD4+CD25+Tregs for 48 h. BrdU proliferation (a), Matrigel invasion (b) and In-cell Western assays (c, d) were performed to examine the proliferation, invasiveness and MMP2/9, TIMP1/2, Cox-2 and p53 expression in ESCs, respectively. MMP2, MMP9, TIMP1 and TIMP1 (red), actin (green); Cox-2 and p53 (green), actin (red). Original magnification: × 200 (b). All data are expressed as the mean±S.D. *P<0.05 compared with the vehicle control
