(A) Immunocytochemical staining of α-SMA in human primary myometrial and leiomyoma cells. (B–D) Real-time PCR of fibronectin, collagen 1A1, and versican in human primary myometrial and leiomyoma cells. Results are the mean ± SEM of three experiments performed using independent cell cultures from different tissues. Each experiment was done in triplicate. ∗P<.05. NT = untreated cells.

(A–C) Real-time PCR of fibronectin, collagen 1A1, and versican in leiomyoma cell line. Experiments were performed twice, and no statistically significant difference was observed between experiments. Values are expressed as the mean of six replications from independent experiment ± SEM. ∗P<.05. NT = untreated cells.
