Fig. 4From: Knockdown of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 impedes transforming growth factor beta 1-mediated proliferation, migration, and invasion of endometriotic cyst stromal cellsTGF-β1 treatment stimulates the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometriotic cyst stromal cells. Endometriotic cyst stromal cells were treated with recombinant human TGF-β1 (5 or 10 ng/mL) for indicated times (24, 48, or 72 h), and then subjected to CCK-8 assay (a). EdU assay was conducted to assess cell proliferation (b). The migration and invasion of endometriotic cyst stromal cells were assessed by transwell migration (c) and invasion (d) assays. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01Back to article page
