A-F E-cadherin expression in the endometrium of fertile and RIF patients. Representative photomicrographs of E-cadherin immunostaining of paraffin sections of fertile female endometrium (A, B) on day 10, and (C, D) day 21 when E-cadherin was localized in the epithelial cell membrane. Almost no E-cadherin expression was detected in RIF patients’ endometrial tissue on day 21 (E, F). (Bar: A, C, E: 100 μm; B, D, F: 50 μm). G Quantification of E-cadherin protein expression levels by Western blot (WB) of endometrium from fertile women on day 10 (n = 9) and day 21 of the menstrual cycle (n = 10), and of RIF patients on day 21 of the cycle (n = 12, p < 0.05, 1-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post-test). Expression levels were quantified by the band intensity relative to α-tubulin. H Representative E-cadherin WB
