From: TLR3 and TLR4 expression in healthy and diseased human endometrium
TLR3 and TLR4 mRNA expression is regulated in endometriosis. The expression of TLR3 (A, C) and TLR4 mRNA (B, D) in endometrium during proliferative (n = 13, run in triplicates, A, B) and secretory phase (n = 3, C, D) was decreased in eutopic endometriotic endometrium when compared to controls. In addition, four proliferative corresponding lesions were evaluated (A, B) showing a local upregulation of both receptors on ectopic sites. Columns represent the mean ratio of TLR copy number to ACTB copy number. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01.
