Demethylation of a nonpromoter cytosine-phosphate-guanine island in the aromatase gene may cause the aberrant up-regulation in endometriotic tissues
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.06.024

OBJECTIVE: To search for the demethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) islands within the aromatase gene in stromal cells derived from endometriotic chocolate cysts. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gyn…

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 …

The role of survivin in the resistance of endometriotic stromal cells to drug-induced apoptosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dep305

BACKGROUND: Decreased susceptibility of endometrial tissue to apoptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We investigate the role of survivin in the pathophysiology of endometriosis through the ability of ectopic and euto…
