TNF system in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis
·doi:10.4236/ojog.2013.32051

The role of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) system in endometriosis is not completely clear and therefore was the focus of this study. In eutopic endometria obtained from women with (n = 41) and without (controls; n = 34) endometriosis duri…

article 2009
Association between MMP1 and MMP9 activities and ICAM1 cleavage induced by tumor necrosis factor in stromal cell cultures from eutopic endometria of women with endometriosis
·doi:10.1530/rep-09-0196

Abstract Endometriosis is a benign gynecological pathology in which immune system deregulation may play a role in its initiation and progression. In endometriotic lesions, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) is released from the cell …

article 2009
Nuclear factor κB pathway and interleukin-6 are affected in eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep-08-0407

In order to investigate the role of the nuclear factor kappaB (NFKB) pathway on gene expression in the eutopic endometrium in endometriosis, and in particular of interleukin-6 (IL6), we evaluated RELA, IkappaB kinase (CHUK), NFKBIA and IL6 …

article 2009
Peritoneal Fluid Obtained from Women with Endometriosis Induces CYP19A1 Expression in Isolated Control Endometrial Cells.
·doi:10.1093/biolreprod/81.s1.368

Endometriosis patients commonly present altered volume and composition of peritoneal fluid (PF) and also, an endometrial estrogenic micro-environment as consequence of anomalous CYP19A1 expression. This gene is positively regulated by NR5A1…

article 2005
Augmented cell survival in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis: Expression of c-myc, TGF-beta1 and bax genes
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-3-45

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. The fragments in normal menstruation are composed of necrotic and living cells, which do not survive in…
