Lipopolysaccharide promoted proliferation and invasion of endometriotic stromal cells via induction of cyclooxygenase-2 expression
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.06.042

Lipopolysaccharide-enhanced cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production were compared in endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) and eutopic endometrial stromal cells. Lipopolysaccharide promotes the proliferation …
