Immunohistochemical analysis of selected stem cell markers including stage-specific mouse embryonic antigen 1 (SSEA-1) in porcine and bovine endometrium throughout the oestrous cycle
Abstract:There has been a lack of research regarding endometrial stem cells in farm animals, and particularly, regarding epithelial stem/progenitor cells. We aimed to identify potential stem cell subpopulations in porcine and bovine endometrium by measuring the expression of selected stem cell markers (OCT3/4, CD44, SSEA-1, SOX10, CD73, and CD117) during the follicular and luteal phases of the oestrous cycle. We studied 28 endometrial tissue samples collected from 14 healthy, cycling pigs and cows. The endometrial muco… Show more
