Heterogeneity of stromal cells in eutopic and ectopic tissues. (A) Sections of eutopic and ectopic tissues were stained with antibodies against stromal cell markers. CD140b for mesenchymal stromal cells (green), S100A4 for fibroblasts (red), and a-SMA for myofibroblasts (green). There are different kinds of stromal cells with different proportions in ectopic and eutopic tissues of EMs. (B–C) Representative FACS analyses (B) and statistical results (C) of HEuESCs and HEcESCs at early culture passages. The proportion of the CD140b or a-SMA positive cell types in HEuESCs and HEcESCs does differ significantly. Scale bars: 50 μm, Summary data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Significance in (C) was calculated using a Student t-test; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
