From: Role of SMOC2 in adenomyosis: implications for ECM remodeling and EMT pathogenesis
Evidence of positive expression of SMOC2 in ectopic endometrial tissue. A HE staining and SMOC2 immunoreactivity staining in ADM patients (ectopic endometrial tissue indicated by arrows) and normal endometrial tissues; SMOC2 expression on glandular epithelial cell membranes (indicated by arrows). Magnification: × 200.Scale bar = 100 µm. B Boxplots of SMOC2 Positive Area (** p < 0.05) and H-SCORE (percentage of weak intensity × 1 + percentage of moderate intensity × 2 + percentage of strong intensity × 3) in adenomyotic lesions and control endometrium
