a The effect of cyclopamine, Gant61 or recombinant Shh 10.1038/s12276-020-00530-6 on regulating migration and invasion of JAR cells. Scale bars, 200 μm. b Migrated or invaded cells from panel a were quantified by Image J software. c The effect of cyclopamine, Gant61 orrecombinant Shh on regulating motility of extravillous trophoblasts in first-trimester villous. Scale bars, 500 μm. d Outgrowth area from panel c was quantified by Image J software. e After with or without cyclopamine treatment, expression of p-AKT S473, p-AKT T308, and pan-AKT proteins were detected by western blot. f After with or without cyclopamine treatment, expression of E-Cadherin, VEGF-A, and GAPDH proteins were detected by western blot. g VEGF-Astaining in control group and recurrent miscarriage group were detected by immunohistochemistry. Scale bars, 100 μm. h Expression of VEGF-A from panel g was analyzed and quantified by Image J software. i CD31 staining in control group and recurrent miscarriage group were detected by immunohistochemistry. Scale bars, 100 μm. j Expression of CD31 from panel i was analyzed and quantified by Image J software. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
