Expression of epithelial, fibroblast and endometrial markers in the primary epithelial and fibroblast cell cultures.

<p>Total RNA was subjected to quantitative real-time PCR analysis of epithelial markers (EpCAM, cytokeratin 8, E-cadherin), fibroblast markers (alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), vimentin) (<b>A</b>–<b>C</b>), estrogen receptor 1 and 2 (ER1, 2), progesterone receptor (PR), progestagen-associated endometrial protein (PAEP) and matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 9 (MMP1, 9) (<b>D</b>–<b>F</b>). Data, average; error bars, S.E.M. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments.
