2. Figure 1
Changes of total FOXO1 (A) and pSer256-FOXO1 protein (B) level in leiomyoma and adjacent myometrium during menstrual cycle and at menopause. Bars, represent mean ± SE of data. Black bars represent adjacent myometrium, and open bars represent leiomyoma. The Relative density (ordinates) is the density of studied protein/density of actin. Inserts show representative blots. Western blot analyses were made at least three times in three independent tissue preparations with comparable results. Actin is shown as a load control. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences at P < 0.05: ∗leiomyoma vs. corresponding myometrium. P, proliferative phase (n = 19); S, secretory phase (n = 19); Meno, menopause (n = 20).

3. Figure 2
Changes of pSer473-Akt/Akt ratio in leiomyoma and adjacent myometrium during menstrual cycle and at menopause. Bars represent mean ± SE of data. Black bars represent adjacent myometrium; open bars represent leiomyoma. Relative density (ordinate) is the density of pAkt/density of total Akt; both of them are corrected by loading controls. Inserts show representative blots. Western blot analyses were made at least three times in three independent tissue preparations with comparable results. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences at P < ∗Leiomyoma vs. corresponding myometrium; P, proliferative phase (n = 19); S, secretory phase (n = 19); Meno, menopause (n = 20).

4. Figure 3
Subcellular distribution of pSer256-FOXO1 protein in cytoplasmic (A) and in nuclear-rich (B) fractions of leiomyoma and adjacent myometrium during the menstrual cycle and at menopause. Bars represent mean ± SE of data. Black bars represent host myometrium of leiomyoma; open bars represent leiomyoma. Inserts show representative blots. Relative density (ordinates) is the density of studied protein/density of actin. Western blot analyses were made at least three times in three independent tissue preparations with comparable results. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences at P < ∗Leiomyoma vs. corresponding myometrium; P, proliferative phase; S, secretory phase; Meno, menopause.

5. Figure 4
Changes of γ protein level in leiomyoma and adjacent myometrium during menstrual cycle and at menopause. Bars represent mean ± SE of data. Black bars represent host myometrium of leiomyoma; open bars represent leiomyoma. Relative density (ordinates) is the density of studied protein/density of actin. Inserts show representative blots. Western blot analyses were made at least three times in three independent tissue preparations with comparable results. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences at P < 0.05 level. ∗Leiomyoma vs. corresponding myometrium; P, proliferative phase (n = 19); S, secretory phase (n = 19); Meno, menopause (n = 20).
