2.4 result
The results show that compared with normal endometrial tissue, the mRNA level in-site of SPARCL1 gene in endometrial
Obvious to lower, relative expression quantity is 0.18 ± 0.012, and difference has statistical significance (P < 0.05).
3, it is verified on protein level
3.1 extract tissue total protein
The operation of protein extraction is carried out according to the specification of EpiQuik tissue/cell total protein extraction kit.
3.2Western blot detection
The protein quantification of extraction is subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, carry out later transferring film, closing, primary antibody is incubated for, secondary antibody is incubated for,
Colour developing.
3.3 statistical procedures
The gray value of protein band is analyzed using Image J software, using β-actin as internal reference, by SPARCL1 egg
The gray value of informal voucher band is normalized.Result data is indicated in a manner of mean+SD, is used
SPSS13.0 statistical software is next for statistical analysis, and difference between the two is examined using t, it is believed that has system as P < 0.05
Meter learns meaning.
3.4 result
As a result as shown in Figure 1, compared with normal endometrial tissue, SPARCL1 protein level in endometrial
It significantly reduces, difference has statistical significance (P < 0.05).
