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 …

Aberrant expression of keratinocyte growth factor receptor in ovarian surface epithelial cells of endometrioma
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.02.060

Ovarian surface epithelial cells (OSEs) are considered to be the common source of endometrioma and epithelial ovarian cancer. The present study reveals that keratinocyte growth factor receptor (KGFR) messenger RNA was expressed in OSEs of e…

An epigenetic disorder may cause aberrant expression of aromatase gene in endometriotic stromal cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.03.078

ObjectiveTo examine the molecular basis of aromatase expression in stromal cell culture from endometriotic chocolate cysts.DesignProspective study.SettingDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Department of Biosignaling, Tottori Univer…

article 2007
Apoptosis and endometriosis
Frontiers in bioscience : a journal and virtual library ·doi:10.2741/2302

Apoptosis plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and represents a normal function to eliminate excess or dysfunctional cells. Accumulated evidence suggest that apoptosis helps to maintain cellular homeostasis during the men…

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ligand reduced tumor necrosis factor-α-induced interleukin-8 production and growth in endometriotic stromal cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.03.061

ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR gamma) ligand (pioglitazone) on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in endometriotic stromal cells (ESC…
