Macrophage migration inhibitory factor expression in the intrauterine endometrium of women with endometriosis varies with disease stage, infertility status, and pelvic pain
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.10.073

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the concentrations of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the eutopic endometrial tissue of women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective study using ELISA to measure MIF concentrations in t…

Evidence for an increased release of proteolytic activity by the eutopic endometrial tissue in women with endometriosis and for involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-9
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh290

BACKGROUND: For the implantation of endometrium in ectopic locations, remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is necessary. Many studies have shown an increased expression of various proteases in the ectopic endometrium of women with …

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is markedly expressed in active and early-stage endometriotic lesions
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.87.2.8260

The establishment of a new vascular supply is essential for the survival of endometrial tissue and its development in ectopic locations. We have previously shown that ectopic endometrial cells release an important mitogenic activity for hum…

Marked elevation of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(02)03189-8

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the presence of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the peritoneal fluid of normal fertile women and patients with endometriosis and its growth-promoting activity toward human endothelial cells. DESIGN: R…
