Decidual stimulation did not inhibit the motility of the human ectopic endometrial stromal cells (HEcESCs). The confluent monolayers of (A,B) the human eutopic endometrial stromal cells (HEuESCs) and (C,D) the HEcESCs were cultured with (A,C) or without 8‐bromo‐cyclic adenosine monophosphate (8‐br‐cAMP) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (B,D) for 6 days. The HEuESCs and HEcESCs were photographed at 0 hour and 24 hours after scratching of the monolayer. (E) Each wound area was measured. Each gray bar represents the mean±standard error of the mean, relative to the closed area at 24 hours that had been obtained from three independent experiments. *P<.05. Scale bar, 200 μm
