CAPN 7 expression in endometriosis. (A) CAPN 7 expression in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis and endometrial from normal fertile controls was measured using quantitative real-time PCR; * * P < 0.01 compared to the endometrium from normal fertile women (n = 7, triangles indicate the median expression in each group). (B) CAPN 7 expression in the eutopic endometrium stromal cells from women with endometriosis (Eu-hESCs) and hESCs from normal fertile controls was measured using quantitative real-time PCR; * * P < 0.01 compared to normal fertile women. (n = 7, triangles indicate the median expression in each group). (C) Western blotting results showed higher CAPN 7 protein expression in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis (n = 3).
