From: In vitro study on human cytomegalovirus affecting early pregnancy villous EVT's invasion function
The expression of MMP-9 protein in two groups' villous explants. A, B. In the villus of two groups, MMP-9 protein expressed mainly in villous interstitial substance, EVT and VT endochylema but little in ST; C. According to the comparison of average optical density of two groups' MMP-9 protein expression, the protein expression significantly decreased in infected group(P < 0.05); D. Western blot method was detected MMP-9 protein of two groups' villus and the protein was detected at 92kDa; E. In infected group, MMP-9 protein expression level reduced(P < 0.05). These experiments above were repeated 3 times.
