E2 and PGE2 effect on USF2 variants protein contents and SF-1 E-Box DNA binding. USF2a (a) and USF2b (b) nuclear protein contents of endometrial epithelial cells (EEC) from women with and without (control) endometriosis treated with E2 (10−8 mol/L) and/or PGE2 (10−8 mol/L) in the presence or absence of ICI (10−6 mol/L; 30 min previously added); all data were normalized with TFIIB. Representative immunoblot is shown. Results are the mean ± SEM of EEC obtained from 7 control women and 7 women with endometriosis. c Representative SF-1 E-Box DNA shift assay from 3 gels. Lane 1 free probe; lanes 25 nuclear protein from control EEC (2 basal condition; 3 E2 treated; 4 basal + anti USF2 antibody; 5 E2 + anti USF2 antibody); lanes 6 and 7: nuclear protein from endometriosis endometrial epithelial cells (6 basal condition; 7 basal + anti USF2 antibody), and lane 8 basal condition + cold competitor. Protein procurements and assays are described in “Methods”. *p < 0.05 control; #p < 0.05 vs. baseline; ºp < 0.05 vs. E2
