ALDH1 is expressed within the basal layer of the endometrium. (A) Representative cores representing the stratum basalis (A1) compared to proliferative (A2) or secretory (A3) endometrium. All images are 100X. The percentage of glands with positive expression were scored. In benign endometrial tissue, (B) Cytoplasmic ALDH1 expression was observed in endometrial glands of the stratum basalis (26.76 ± 3.24, n = 116 cores) compared to both proliferative and secretory endometrium (Kruskal–Wallis p value = 1.145e−14). Significantly lower expression of ALDH1 was observed in the proliferative phase (6.15 ± 1.17, n = 264 cores) and in the secretory phase (9.08 ± 2.43, n = 104).
