Intracellular serpin A1 regulates inflammatory cytokines expression via toll-like receptor signaling pathway in endometrial stromal cells
·doi:10.1254/jpssuppl.96.0_4-b-p-319

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of inflamed and fibrotic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. We have previously found that serpin A1 (SERPINA1) was decreased in the endometriosis-like lesion of the mouse model, whi…

Toll-like receptor signaling pathway triggered by inhibition of serpin A1 stimulates production of inflammatory cytokines by endometrial stromal cells
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2022.966455

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of inflamed and fibrotic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Previously, we found decreased SERPINA1 (alpha-1 antitrypsin) expression in endometriosis-like lesions in a mouse model o…

PGE2 and Thrombin Induce Myofibroblast Transdifferentiation via Activin A and CTGF in Endometrial Stromal Cells
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/endocr/bqab207

Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrotic changes. Our previous study using a mouse model showed that proinflammatory factors present in peritoneal hemorrhage exacerbated inflammation in endometriosis-like grafts, at least…
