OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of aquaporin 5(AQP5) on proliferation and migration of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells. METHODS: AQP5 shRNA interference fragments were designed and transfected into ectopic endometrial epithelial …

Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) participates in the migration of endometrial cells. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms associated with AQP5-mediated, migration of endometrial cells may contribute to a better understanding of endometriosis. Our obje…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease defined by extrauterine growth of endometrial glands and stroma. A variety of theories have been proposed to account for the pathogenesis of this disease, including retrograde transplantation …

Aquaporin (AQP)-dependent cell migration has broad implications in angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, wound healing, glial scarring and other events requiring cell movement. There are 13 isoforms of AQP (0-12) that have been identified in mamm…

Ezrin is a member of the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family of membrane-cytoskeletal linkage proteins. It is important for maintenance of cell shape, adhesion, migration and division. The overexpression of ezrin in some tumours is associated…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of PRL-3 siRNA (small interfering RNA) on the migration of endometriotic stromal cells. METHODS: Primary endometriotic stromal cells were cultured in vitro. Then PRL-3 (phosphatase of regenerating liver-3…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) in ectopic, eutopic, and normal endometria and explore its relationship with endometriosis. DESIGN: A clinical retrospective and molecular study. SETT…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of aquaporin (AQP) in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues from women with endometriomas. DESIGN: Controlled laboratory research. SETTING: Hospital-based unit for gynecology and obstetrics and r…
