Molecular analysis of the damaged murine endometrium 14 days post-treatment. Murine uterine horns were damaged with ethanol and treated with saline, hUC-PRP or EndoECM + hUC-PRP, and mRNA was extracted. Relative gene expression of aSMA (A), Akt1 (B), VEGF (C) and Ang (D). Data were normalized with respect to the gene expression from the sham group and presented as a mean ± SD. For all the experiments, n = 5 per group. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. *, P < 0.05. Akt1, thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1; Ang, angiogenin; aSMA, actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta; EndoECM, decellularized porcine endometrium-derived extracellular-matrix hydrogel; hUC-PRP, platelet-rich plasma from human umbilical cord blood; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
