NLRP7 promoted progesterone receptor activity. T-HESCs were co-transfected with PR reporter and NLRP7-expressed vector or RFP-expressed vector. Cells co-transfected with control reporter and NLRP7-expressed vector or RFP-expressed vector served as the control. The transfected cells were subjected to in-vitro decidualization. After 24 h, the firefly and Renilla luminescence were detected. The results are shown as the relative ratio of PR reporter activity to control reporter activity. NLPR7-expressed PR reporter group has higher progesterone receptor activity than that of RFP-expressed group. The statistics were calculated from three individual experiments. p-values less than 0.05 are marked with “*”
