Figure Lengend Snippet: Human endometrium organoids respond to estrogen treatment: ( A ) treatment plan and violin plots of gene expression changes in hEOs during 28 days with estrogen (E2) treatment measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR); ( B ) representative immunofluorescent images showing, Ki67, PGR (PR), E-cadherin (E-Cad), and PAEP expression through 28-day estrogen treatment in hEOs from donor 1 (cyan), donor 2 (red), and donor 3 (green). Results illustrated in ( A ) represent mean ± SD from three independent biological replicates ( n = 3 donors), each with three experimental replicates ( n = 9 total) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test and post hoc correction, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001; scale bar in ( B ): 50 µm.
Article Snippet: hEOs were divided into subgroups according to the hormone treatment regimen presented in C. Doses of hormones used were as follows: 0.1 nM (day 0–7), 1 nM (day 7–21) and 0.1 nM (day 21–28) for estrogen (E2) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany); 10 nM (day 14–21) and 50 nM (day 21–28) for progesterone (P4) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany); and 0.5 mM dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) (dbcAMP, day 14–21 and day 21–28) (MedChemExpress, South Brunswick, NJ, USA).
