Agents Blocking the Nuclear Factor-κB Pathway Are Effective Inhibitors of Endometriosis in an in vivo Experimental Model
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000111148

BACKGROUND: In vitro studies suggest that the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) is implicated in the transduction of proinflammatory signals in endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of…

Estrogen metabolizing enzymes in endometrium and endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dem310

BACKGROUND: Estradiol (E(2)) is an important promoter of the growth of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The findings with regard to the expression and activity of steroidogenic enzymes in endometrium of controls, in endometrium of endo…

Identification of novel antigens in blood vessels in rectovaginal endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gam073

To identify specific markers of rectovaginal endometriotic nodule vasculature, highly enriched preparations of vascular endothelial cells and pericytes were obtained from endometriotic nodules and control endometrial and myometrial tissue b…

Laparoscopic management of peritoneal endometriosis

Endometriosis is the cause of pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia) and infertility in more than 35% of women of reproductive age. \nIn 1997, we demonstrated that three entities must be clearly distinguished:\n- Peritoneal endometriosis\n…

Nuclear factor-kappa B is constitutively activated in peritoneal endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gam033

Red (active), black and white endometriotic lesions are characteristic of peritoneal endometriosis. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activates proinflammatory, proliferative and antiapoptotic genes in many cell ty…

Iron overload enhances epithelial cell proliferation in endometriotic lesions induced in a murine model
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del261

BACKGROUND: Iron deposits are characteristic of endometriotic lesions, and pelvic iron concentrations are higher in endometriosis patients than in women without endometriosis. In this study, the effect of iron overload and iron chelation on…

Serum dioxin-like compounds and aromatase (CYP19) expression in endometriotic tissues
Toxicology letters ·doi:10.1016/j.toxlet.2006.10.005

Dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) are suspected etiological factors of endometriosis but their potential mechanisms of action remain elusive. Because endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease and since aromatase (CYP19), a key enzyme in est…
