1. Endometrial biopsies were collected from women undergoing gynaecological
2. All women reported regular menstrual cycles (25–35 days) and had not received
any form of hormonal treatment in the 3 months preceding biopsy.
3. Biopsies were dated from the patient's last menstrual period (LMP).
4. Histological dating according to published criteria and circulating sex steroid
concentrations were consistent with the date of LMP.
5. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to biopsy collection
and ethical approval was received from Research Ethics Committee.
6. Tissue samples were collected in primary cell medium and were subsequently
7. Endometrium was: (i) fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin overnight at 4°C,
stored in 70% ethanol and then wax embedded; and (ii) separated into glandular
and stromal compartments for cell culture.
1. This method for separation of glandular and stromal compartments of
endometrium was adapted from that of Reference.
2. Several modifications were made and the details of the method used in this study
3. Endometrial biopsies were washed twice in phosphate-buffered saline, sliced into
small fragments, immersed in collagenase/DNAase (1 and 0.1 mg/ml) and
4. After incubation, primary cell medium was added and tissue was broken up using
5. This yielded single cells and larger, glandular fragments.
6. This suspension was centrifuged (450 g, 3 min) and then cells/fragments were
resuspended in fresh medium and allowed to separate by density sedimentation.
7. After 5 min the supernatant (stromal compartment) was removed leaving 2 ml of
8. Fresh medium was added and the density sedimentation was repeated. The
remaining 2 ml of medium contained glandular fragments that were centrifuged as
9. Medium was discarded and the epithelial fragments were incubated with
collagenase/DNAase for 2 h at 37°C.
10. After incubation, medium was added and the cell suspension was centrifuged (see
11. Medium was removed and the epithelial cell pellet was resuspended in 50%
1. Primary endometrial epithelial cells were grown in Matrigel in primary cell
medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, penicillin (50 μg/ml; Sigma),
streptomycin (50 μg/ml; Sigma), gentamycin (5 μg/ml; Sigma), epidermal growth
factor (25 ng/ml), vascular endothelial growth factor (1 ng/ml), basic fibroblast
growth factor (5 ng/ml;) and estradiol (10–7 mol/l).
2. These growth factors were included in the primary culture medium as there is
evidence that endometrial epithelial cells express their receptors and hence they
are likely to be involved in modulation of cell growth.
