OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of aquaporin 5(AQP5) on proliferation and migration of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells. METHODS: AQP5 shRNA interference fragments were designed and transfected into ectopic endometrial epithelial …
Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) participates in the migration of endometrial cells. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms associated with AQP5-mediated, migration of endometrial cells may contribute to a better understanding of endometriosis. Our obje…
Aquaporin (AQP)-dependent cell migration has broad implications in angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, wound healing, glial scarring and other events requiring cell movement. There are 13 isoforms of AQP (0-12) that have been identified in mamm…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of aquaporin (AQP) in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues from women with endometriomas. DESIGN: Controlled laboratory research. SETTING: Hospital-based unit for gynecology and obstetrics and r…
