Beta-hCG/LH receptor (b-HCG/LH-R) expression is increased in invasive versus preinvasive breast cancer: implications for breast carcinogenesis?
Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology ·doi:10.1007/s00432-008-0458-3

IntroductionThe role of the b-HCG/LH/LH-R system in breast cancer is conflicting. Whereas some reports suggest a protective effect of b-HCG on breast epithelium, vitro studies implicate a role of b-HCG/LH-R in the development and growth of …

beta-HCG/LH receptor (beta-HCG/LH-R) expression in eutopic endometrium and endometriotic implants: evidence for beta-HCG sensitivity of endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719108316907

BACKGROUND: Luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) target their receptor in gonadal and nongonadal cells to stimulate steroidogenesis and cell growth. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression o…

Expression of Aromatase and Estrogen Sulfotransferase in Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium: Evidence for Unbalanced Estradiol Production in Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719107309120

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease causing pelvic pain and infertility. Impaired estrogen metabolism is thought to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the disease. While there is some information on factors …

Estrogen receptor β and matrix metalloproteinase 1 are coexpressed in uterine endometrium and endometriotic lesions of patients with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.06.014

ObjectiveTo evaluate the local matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1), estrogen receptor (ER) alpha, and ERbeta protein expression in eutopic and dystopic tissue from patients with endometriosis and to compare the endometrial expression pattern…

Interleukin 1alpha and tissue-lytic matrix metalloproteinase-1 are elevated in ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh794

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) play an essential role in tissue remodelling and menstruation and appear to be regulated by cytokines such as interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha). In order to investigate their role in the pathogenesis…
