All TGF-β ligands are expressed in peritoneal fluid from women with and without endometriosis.
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0106773.g001

TGF-β1 was significantly increased in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis compared to women without. Levels of TGF-β2 do not change between women with and without endometriosis. TGF-β3 levels appear to increase in women with endo…

Data S1 - The Peritoneum Is Both a Source and Target of TGF-β in Women with Endometriosis
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0106773.s001

The TGF-β signalling targets array (Quigen, Manchester UK) assays 84 TGF-β regulated genes involved in functional processes, including; differentiation, proliferation, migration, apoptosis and cell cycle control. We made three comparisons u…

Expression of markers of decidualization.
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0023595.g002

PRL and IGFBP1 are known markers of endometrial decidualization. A) Both PRL (P<0.001) and IGFBP1 (P<0.001) were higher in the decidualized samples (++) (n = 7) than the non-decidualized samples (−) (n = 5). B) In tubal ectopic pregnancy (E…

Expression of trophoblast-regulated endometrial genes.
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0023595.g004

Expression of genes in partially decidualized (+) (n = 6) and non-decidualized (−) (n = 5) endometrium from ectopic pregnancy (EP) and in the partially decidualized (+) (n = 6) and decidualized (++) (n = 7) endometrium from intrauterine pre…

TGFB1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in the peritoneum adjacent to endometriosis lesions compared to peritoneum distal to lesions in women with endometriosis (B).
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0106773.g003

There was no signifianct difference in TGFB1 expression between women with and without endometriosis, nor was there a difference in expression between control and prone sites of peritoneum in women without endometriosis. There is no signifi…

n = 6.Table displays gene expression including fold change and p value of TGF-β signalling target genes in peritoneal biopsies from women with endometriosis at sites ajacent compared to sites distal to endometriosis lesions.

TGF-β1, TGF-βR1, TGF-βR2, and pSmad 2/3, are localized to the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum of women without endometriosis at contol sites and prone sites.
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0106773.g002

TGF-β1, TGF-βR1, TGF-βR2, and pSmad 2/3, are localized to the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum of with endometriosis at sites disteal and ajacent to endometriosis lesions. No staining was observed in the negative control sections. n = 8.
