Integrin beta8 and FAK participate in the blastocyst attachment reaction. (A) Attachment of human placenta origin JAr cells spheroids on the endometrial epithelial cells (Ishikawa) was analyzed post-Itgb8 silencing from endometrial cells in percentage. The percentage spheroids adhered/attached were determined after the 24 hrs incubation. (B) This was accompanied by the analysis of Itgb8 knockdown efficiency in the Ishikawa cells by immunoblotting and densitometry. (C) Post-FAK activity (tyrosine 397 phosphorylation) inhibition in the Ishikawa cells, JAr cells spheroids attachment were seen and analyzed in the form of the percentage. (D) The activity of FAK (phosphorylation) was determined in the Ishikawa cells post-FAK activity inhibition employing ELISA based method. (***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01,*p < 0.05). Scale bars: 200 μm (40X).
