Insights into endometriosis-associated endometrial dysfunctions: a review
Frontiers in bioscience (Elite edition) ·doi:10.2741/E38

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus cavity. This disease, afflicting women during their reproductive age, is mainly associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Sampson's theory whi…

Abnormal interleukin 1 receptor types I and II gene expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues of women with endometriosis
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2007.04.002

Interleukin-1 (IL1) is believed to play a central role in the immuno-inflammatory process associated with endometriosis. IL1 triggers cell activation via its receptor type I (IL1R1), but its receptor type II (IL1R2) is known instead as a sc…

Imbalance in the expression of the activating type I and the inhibitory type II interleukin 1 receptors in endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dem021

BACKGROUND: The ectopic establishment and progression of endometrial tissue is dependent upon its interaction with and responsiveness to the stimuli present in its new environment. Immune cell-derived cytokines, such as interleukin 1 (IL1),…

Increased expression of interleukin-1 receptor type 1 in active endometriotic lesions
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep.1.01121

Abstract The establishment and progression of ectopic endometrial implants are dependent upon their interaction with and responsiveness to the stimuli present in their new environment. According to our and other previous studies, immune cel…

article 2006
Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in the eutopic endometrial tissue of women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del297

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease where endometrial tissue implants in ectopic locations. Remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a prerequisite for the implantation of this tissue to be possible. METHODS: In this study, we de…

Stimulation of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Expression in Endometrial Stromal Cells by Interleukin 1, beta Involving the Nuclear Transcription Factor NFκB1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.104.038331

Endometriosis, the ectopic development of endometrial tissue, is, particularly in peritoneal endometriosis, believed to result from tubal reflux of menstrual tissue. The release of cytokines and growth factors by refluxed endometrial cells …

Estradiol and Interleukin-1β Exert a Synergistic Stimulatory Effect on the Expression of the Chemokine Regulated upon Activation, Normal T Cell Expressed, and Secreted in Endometriotic Cells
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2002-020106

Endometriosis, commonly associated with intraperitoneal inflammation, is estrogen dependent. Possible links between the immunoinflammatory and endocrine changes observed in endometriotic women have been poorly understood. In this study, we …

Characteristics Related to the Prevalence of Minimal or Mild Endometriosis in Infertile Women
Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.) ·doi:10.1097/00001648-199809000-00006

The objective of this case-control study is to identify factors associated with the prevalence of minimal or mild endometriosis among infertile women. Cases (N = 329) were women diagnosed by laparoscopy with minimal or mild endometriosis an…
