Figure 5.
Platelets up-regulate the expression of EZH2, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3 in endometriotic epithelial cells. Western blotting (upper panel) and quantification (lower panel) of EZH2, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3 in 11Z cells treated with buffer (PBS), platelets, activated platelets or thrombin alone (n = 5). NS: not statistically significant. The cropped blots are used in the figure. The membranes were cut prior to exposure so that only the portion of gel containing desired bands would be visualized, as described in materials and methods. * P < 0.05.
