Human endometrial stromal cells as a source of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 molecules

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a019353

Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1-mediated cell-cell adhesion is essential for various immunological functions, including natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity against endometrium. The present study was designed to establish…

Modulation of NK cell lytic function by endometrial secretory factors: potential role in endometriosis

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1996.tb00179.x

PROBLEM: Development and progression of endometriosis have been suggested to be related to a defect of NK cells in the ability to eliminate endometrial fragments regurgitated with menstrual debris in ectopic sites. However, it has not been …

Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on cultured human endometrial stromal cells and its role in the interaction with natural killers

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1994.tb01104.x

PROBLEM: Recent evidence emphasizes the role of natural killer cells (NKs) as potential effectors of peritoneal immune surveillance directed against the outgrowth of endometrial cells, refluxed with menstrual debris, in ectopic sites. This …

Gestrinone inhibits macrophage function and mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation in vitro

Journal of Reproductive Immunology ·doi:10.1016/0165-0378(94)90015-9

Clinical and experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that some steroidal drugs with androgenic effects might influence the immune system. The present study investigated whether gestrinone is able to affect macrophage and lymphocyte ac…

Immunosuppressive effect of danazol on lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity toward human endometrial stromal cells

Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.3109/09513599409028452

The influence of danazol on the expression of lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity toward the stromal component of the endometrium was examined. Stromal cells were isolated from endometrial biopsy specimens of nine women without endometrial pat…

Danazol suppresses both spontaneous and activated human lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1992.tb00754.x

Danazol is an effective drug in the treatment of endometriosis. Previous reports suggest that it can act by influencing the immune system. Thus, in this study we evaluated whether danazol is able to affect the expression of natural and acti…
