Effects of Acupuncture on CCL2 and CXCL8 Expression and the Subset of uNK Cells in Rats with Embryo Implantation Failure
Figure 2
Immunohistochemical localization of CCL2 (a) and CXCL8 (b) in rat endometrium on D6, D8, and D10 of pregnancy. The positive staining was in brown. (a) CCL2 staining in rat endometrium: panel A showed the expression of CCL2 in the endometrial luminal epithelium; panel B represented the staining of CCL2 in the endometrial glandular epithelium and vascular endothelium; panel C was the expression of CCL2 in decidualized stroma; N6-W10 displayed the expression of CCL2 in rat decidualized region on D6, D8, and D10 of pregnancy. (b) CXCL8 localization in rat endometrium: N6-W6 was weak CXCL8 expression in rat endometrial glandular epithelium on D6 of pregnancy; N8-W8 presented CXCL8 localization in rat decidualized region on D8 of pregnancy; CXCL8 was expressed in placental district on N10, A10, and W10, but in endometrial glandular epithelium on M10. Except for A, B, C, D, and E (100), magnification for other graphs was 200.
