Estrogen receptor expression affected by hypoxia inducible factor-1α in stromal cells from patients with endometriosis
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2012.01.010

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the different expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and its relation to hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in stromal cells from women with e…

Prostaglandin E 2 : the master of endometriosis?
Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.) ·doi:10.1258/ebm.2010.009321

Endometriosis is the primary cause of infertility in women, with a prevalence rate ranging from 5% to 10%. Women with endometriosis suffer from symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, which significantly reduce t…

Cyclic Adenosine 3′,5′-Monophosphate Response Element-Binding Protein and CCAAT/Enhancer-Binding Protein Mediate Prostaglandin E2-Induced Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein Expression in Endometriotic Stromal Cells
The American Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.2353/ajpath.2008.080199

Aberrant expression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in human endometriotic stromal cells plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is a potent inducer of StAR expression in…
