Effect of HP-MSCs on the migration of human endometrial stromal cells. A Schematic of co-culturing the stromal cells with HP-MSCs. Stromal cells were inoculated in the upper insert transwell (8 um), while HP-MSCs were in the lower hole plate. B Transwell migration assay was conducted at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, respectively, after culturing without and with HP-MSCs, respectively. The migrated cells were stained with purple. C The average number of migrated stromal cells after culturing without or with HP-MSCs for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, respectively (± SEM). * indicates P < 0.05, ** indicates P < 0.01, *** indicates P < 0.001. D p-JNK, p-Stat3, p-Erk1/2, VEGF, and corresponding total protein western blot analysis at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, respectively, after culturing without and with HP-MSCs, respectively
