Expression of cytokines in menstrual conditioned medium. a Cytokine array showing the densitometry spots of serum-free conditioned medium from monoculture, coculture with epithelial or stromal cells from the menstrual phase. b Fold change of cytokines: CXCL5, GM-CSF, CXCL-1, IL-6 and MCP-3 in conditioned medium coculture with epithelial (white bars) or stromal (grey bars) cells from the menstrual phase (n = 2). c Table showing the concentration of cytokines in monoculture, coculture with epithelial or stromal cells from the menstrual phase (n = 3). Relative cloning efficiency (n = 4) and proportion of CD140b+CD146+ cells (n = 4) in growth medium (ctrl) or addition of d, e CXCL5 at 600 pg/ml, f, g GM-CSF at 500 pg/ml, h, i CXCL1 at 1000 pg/ml and j, k IL-6 at 500 pg/ml. Results are shown as mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05. CXCL1, C-X-C motif ligand 1; CXCL5, C-X-C motif ligand 5; IL-6, interleukin 6; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; MCP-3, monocyte chemotactic protein-3
