E-cadherin expression in 3D RL95–2 epithelial model after 2 weeks of culture in estrogen-containing medium. A Quantification of E-cadherin mRNA expression levels evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). mRNA expression levels were normalized to the ribosomal protein large P0 (RPLP0) mRNA and to expression in 1-week old cell constructs in hormone-free medium (*- p < 0.05, 2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni’s post-hoc test, n = 8). B Representative E-cadherin immunostaining of cryo-sections (10 μm thick) of RL95–2 endometrial cell constructs cultured in (a, b) estrogen-containing medium or in (c, d) hormone-free medium for (a, c) 2 weeks or (b, d) 3 weeks (Bar: 100 μm).
