Objective:To study the different expression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1(hnRNP A2/B1) among normal endometria, eutopic and ectopic endometria of patients with endometriosis. Methods:The expression differences among three normal proliferate-stage endometria, three proliferatestage eutopic and ectopic endometria of patients with endometriosis was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results:hnRNP A2/B1 was located in the nucleus of both epithelial glands and stroma. The expression level of hnRNP A2/B1 in ectopic and eutopic endometria of patients with endometriosis both were weaker than that in normal endometria(P < 0.05), while the difference between ectopic and eutopic endometria in the patients was not significant(P > 0.05). Conclusion:hnRNP A2/B1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
