Endometriosis is a disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. Loss of the tumor suppressor gene AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) occurs in some endometriosis cases. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC-6)…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases with an occurrence approximately 10% in reproductive age. Endometriosis has been proposed as a possible precursor of certain ovarian carcinomas such as clear …

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic condition affecting up to one woman out of ten of reproductive age. It is defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue in localizations outside of the uterine cavity. It often causes symptoms such…

Endometriosis, a painful disorder associated with infertility, is estimated to occur in approximately 7-10% of reproductive age women. Although endometriosis is considered as an estrogen-dependent disease, the role of estrogen metabolites v…

ARID1A mutations are observed in various tumors, including ovarian clear cell (OCCC) and endometrioid carcinomas, endometrial, and breast carcinomas. They commonly result in loss of ARID1A-protein expression and frequently co-occur with PI3…

International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms140918824

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue in localizations outside of the uterine cavity as, e.g., endometriotic ovarian cys…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether histone deacetylase inhibitors reduce the expression of the G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) and whether the functional inhibition of GPER by the antagonist G-15 decreases the proliferation of end…

Class I histone deacetylases (HDACs-1-3) play an important role in steroid hormone-dependent gene expression and in modulating cell survival and proliferation. We analyzed their expression in a tissue microarray including 74 endometriosis s…

BACKGROUND: The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) is thought to be involved in non-genomic estrogen responses as well as processes such as cell proliferation and migration. In this study, we analyzed GPER expression patterns from e…

Mutations of the tumor-suppressor gene ARID1A result in the loss of protein expression of the BRG-associated factor 250a (BAF250a), a large subunit of transcription-regulating Human SWI/SNF complexes, which have an important role in the con…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor romidepsin down-regulates VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) gene expression and abrogates VEGF protein secretion in human epithelial endometriotic cells. DE…
