Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease affecting women's health, involves altered immune function. This study investigates the immune checkpoint protein, V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as a therape…

The studies on how mast cells mediate endometriosis pain are still limited. Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2), a receptor expressed on mast cells, participates in pain, inflammation, and itch. However, it is still u…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease whose pathogenesis is unclear. C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18), a chemokine, is involved in several inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigat…

Pain is one of the main clinical symptoms of endometriosis, but its underlying mechanism is still not clear. Recent studies have shown that the secretory mediators of mast cells activated by estrogen are involved in the pathogenesis of endo…

Patients with adenomyosis are hypercoagulable and often accompanied by anemia, but the specific changes in anemia-related coagulation parameters are still unclear. This study investigated the changes in and influencing factors of coagulatio…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-associated pain can be considered a type of neuropathic pain. Netrin-1 is an axon guidance cue that regulates axonal attraction or rejection in neural injury and regeneration. However, whether netrin-1 plays a role…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease. The pathogenesis of endometriosis remains controversial, although it is generally accepted that the inflammatory immune response plays a crucial role in this process. Mast cells …

Endometriosis is a benign, chronic inflammatory disease that commonly occurs in reproductive-aged women. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometrial epithelial cells plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. Re…

STUDY QUESTION: Does P2X ligand-gated ion channel 3 (P2X3) play a role in endometriosis pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: Upregulation of P2X3 in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) tissues via the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3)/activator protein (AP)-…

The density and the activity of mast cells are associated with endometriosis. However, the role of mast cells on the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Our study aims to investigate whether endometrial cells interact with mast c…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease. Recent studies have shown that increased coagulation parameters including fibrinogen and platelets are associated with endometriosis. The objective of this study was to…

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral treatment with ketotifen, a mast cell (MC) stabilizer, in a rat model of surgically induced endometriosis. Methods: At 14 days after Sprague–Dawley rats had surgery, they were trea…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease in reproductive-age women and usually causes pelvic pain. Endometriosis pain is considered as a kind of neuropathic pain and infiltrating nerve fiber in endometriotic lesions may play a…

Abstract: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with a lack of effective clinical treatment. Current therapy often results in endometriosis pain recurrence and serious side effects. P2X 3 receptor, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-…

Abstract Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Previous research has shown that abnormal enzymes associated with estrogen (E2) metabolism and an increased number of mast cells (MCs) in endometriomas are implicated in the pathogene…

The purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 3 (P2X3) is crucially involved in peripheral nociceptive processes of somatic and visceral pain. Endometriosis pain is considered as a kind of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. However, …
