Expression of steroid hormone receptors, ESR1 and PGR, detected by quantitative RT–PCR and immunohistochemistry after intrauterine infusion of hCG or vehicle. (A) Both ESR1 and PGR mRNA expression were significantly increased in hCG-treated patients. (B) Consistent with mRNA expression, both endometrial glandular epithelial and stromal compartments from hCG-treated patients expressed significantly elevated protein levels of both ESR1 and PGR. Staining intensity for glandular epithelial (GE) and stromal compartments was quantified by image analysis software ImageJ (D-HSCORE). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; Scale bar = 100 µm.
