Figure 4.
Expression of MMP-2 (A) and MMP-9 (B) in the endometrial stromal cells following treatment with the vehicle, transfection with the negative control siRNA or RBP4 siRNA (a), or treatment with HR-RBP4 (b). The error bars represent the mean ± SEM. Data are expressed as a percentage, in which the cells treated with the control are normalized to 100%, † p < 0.05 compared with vehicle group as well as negative control siRNA transfection group. * p < 0.05 compared with the control group. NC: negative control.
