Protein concentrations from cultured ESCs were quantified using the BCA protein assay kit (P0010S, Beyotime, China). Equal amount of protein (30μg) was subjected to 12% sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (0.45mm, Millipore, USA). After blocked for 1 hour at room temperature (RT) with blocking buffer (0.1% Tris-buffered saline with Tween (TBST) with 5% fat-free dried milk powder), the blots were incubated with primary antibodies against GPER (1: 500, ab39742, Abcam) or HIF-1α (1:1000, #AF1009, Affinity) at 4°C for overnight. The target proteins were visualized by the ECL western blotting detection system (Millipore) after incubation with a secondary antibody (1:5000 diluted with 5% fat-free dried milk powder in 0.1% 5 TBST).

Paraffin-embedded endometrial sections were subjected to immunohistochemistry as described previously using rabbit anti-human GPER (1:50 ab39742, Abcam) and HIF-1α (1:150 AF1009, Affinity) antibodies (22 (link)). The stained slides were evaluated by light microscope and digitally scanned images by two independent pathologists. All scoring was performed unaware of patient outcome. The immunohistochemical scores (IHS) were calculated by positive rate (PR) and staining intensity (SI) of cells reactive with antibodies. PR was categorized as 0 (no positive cells), 0 (<10% positive cells), 1 (10–25% positive cells), 2 (26–50% positive cells), or 3(50%–75% positive cells) 4 (76 – 100% positive cells) and SI was categorized as 0 (negative), 1 (weak), 2(moderate), or 3 (strong). The scoring pattern for staining was multiplied to give a total IHS and IHS ranged from 0 to 12. Scores of 0 – 2 points were considered as negative (0); 3 – 5 points as weak staining (+); 6 – 8 points as intermediate (++); and 9 – 12 points as strong staining (+++).
