Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in cultured eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells (expression)

Transcriptome profiles were investigated in isolated endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The profiles were quite different between eutopic ESC and ectopic ESC, whereas no clear dfference was recognized between eutopic ESC with and without endometriosis. Total RNA from three cultured endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from eutopic endometria without endometriosis, three ESCs with endometriosis and three ESCs from chocolate cysts were hybridised to the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array.
