E2 was associated with increasing cell density, ERα, PR, cytoskeletal proteins and angiogenesis expressions in the xenografted mice model. a Staining for H&E, and IHC for ERα, PR, Ki67, vimentin, VEGF, and CD34 of implanted myoma in the three groups (Control, OVX and E2 groups). Original magnification: ×400; the scale bars represent 400 μm; b IHS of the samples of implanted myoma. c–e Compared with Control group, there were less MVD, cell density and Ki-67 index in the OVX group (*P < 0.05), while there were more MVD, cell density and Ki-67 index in the E2 group (* P < 0.05). OXV = ovariectomy. **P < 0.01
