From: Dysregulated erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2) is involved in tubal pregnancy via regulating cell adhesion of the Fallopian tube epithelial cells

Fig. 2

EphA2 immunostaining (brown) on the Fallopian tube epithelium during tubal pregnancy. a EphA2 was present in the epithelial cells located in the implantation site of tubal pregnancy (arrow). b EphA2 was present in trophoblast cells found in the implantation site (arrow). c EphA2 was present in the non-implantation site of tubal pregnancy, and a stronger staining was evident on the cytomembrane (arrow) than that in the cytoplasm. d EphA2 expressions on the Fallopian tube epithelia with tubal pregnancy (n = 17) and the secretory Fallopian tube epithelia of normal controls (n = 15). EphA2 expression in the implantation group presented with the highest-level, compared with that in the non-implantation group and the control group (P < 0.05). EphA2 expressions in the latter two groups did not differ (P > 0.05)
