Abnormal Expression of Prostaglandins E2 and F2α Receptors and Transporters in Patients with Endometriosis

Figure 1

Expression of PGE2 and PGF2α receptors and prostaglandin transporters in endometrium, = 30, 50, and 28, respectively, for healthy (control) subjects, eutopic tissue samples from endometriosis patients, and ectopic tissue samples. Total RNA was extracted and reverse-transcribed and mRNA was quantified by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized relative to GAPDH (internal control). (a) EP1, (b) EP2, (c) EP3, (d) EP4, (e) FP, (f) PGT, (g) total MRP4, and (h) MRP4 variant 1. The horizontal lines represent the mean for each set of data. , , and .
