High concentrations of PAF were detected in MSC-CM. MSCs and OCCs secreted different concentrations of PAF. MSCs and different types of OCCs were cultured in serum-free medium. High concentrations of PAF were detected in MSC-CM and MSC-OCC-CM. Non-mucinous OCCs secreted a low concentration of PAF, while mucinous OCCs did not secrete PAF. The PAF concentration was measured in the peritoneal fluid and serum of patients with OC (6 patients) and endometriosis (8 patients) as a positive control. Bars represent the average of triplicates ± SD for media and Mean ± SD for patient samples. EP: peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients. ES: serum of endometriosis patients. OP: peritoneal fluid of OC patients. OS: serum of OC patients
