Cyclooxygenase 2 overexpression suppresses Smad3 and augments ERK1/2 signaling activated by TGFβ1 in endometrial stromal cells: A novel insight into endometriosis pathogenesis
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2025.112470

RESEARCH QUESTION: To investigate the underlying mechanisms driving the opposing effects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) on the proliferation of control (CESCs) and ectopic (EESCs) endometrial stromal cells. DESIGN: Cell proli…

Identification and validation of an endoplasmic-reticulum-stress-related gene signature as an effective diagnostic marker of endometriosis
PeerJ ·doi:10.7717/peerj.17070

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases and is characterized by chronic pain and infertility. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a cellular adaptive response that plays a pivotal role in many cell…

Puerarin suppresses proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells in part via differential recruitment of nuclear receptor coregulators to estrogen receptor-α
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2013.07.006

Background and objectivesPuerarin, a phytoestrogen with a weak estrogenic effect, binds to estrogen receptors, thereby competing with 17β-estradiol and producing an anti-estrogenic effect. In our early clinical practice to treat endometrios…

Puerarin suppresses invasion and vascularization of endometriosis tissue stimulated by 17beta-estradiol. PLoS One 6: e25011

Background: Puerarin, a phytoestrogen with a weak estrogenic effect, binds to estrogen receptors, thereby competing with 17b-estradiol (E2) and producing an anti-estrogenic effect. This study was to investigate whether puerarin could suppre…
