AQP1 gene silencing contributes to attenuated endometriosis. (a), pathological changes of ectopic foci tissues of mice in each group by HE staining (400 ×); (b), immunohistochemical staining of AQP1 in ectopic foci tissues of mice in each group (400 ×); (c), positive rate of AQP1 in ectopic foci tissues of mice in each group determined by immunohistochemistry. *, p < 0.05 vs. the sham group; #, p < 0.05 vs. the endometriosis and si-NC groups; all the results above were measurement data; these data were presented as means ± standard deviation and analyzed using one-way ANOVA, n = 5. AQP1, aquaporin-1; HE, hematoxylin-eosin; NC, negative control; ANOVA, analysis of variance; EMS: endometriosis.
