Methods
The endometrial SCRIB expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry staining and western blot. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to explore the expression of SCRIB in ESC during in vitro decidualization. siRNA-mediated SCRIB knockdown followed by decidual markers expression analysis, flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis and phalloidin staining for morphological analysis were performed to examine the function of SCRIB in ESC decidualization. RNA-sequencing was performed to examine the SCRIB-mediated transcriptional changes in decidualized ESC (DSC). Rescue experiments using an AKT inhibitor MK2206 and aPKC inhibitor NSC37044 were used to investigate the signaling pathways through which could mediate SCRIB-regulated FOXO1 protein expression and ESC decidualization.
