Synthetic Steroid Hormones Regulated Cell Proliferation Through MicroRNA-34a-5p in Human Ovarian Endometrioma1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.115.133330

Endometriosis is the hormone-dependent product of endometrial tissue found outside the uterus. Recently, micro-RNAs (miRNAs) were shown to play a role in endometriotic lesion development. However, the mechanism of steroid hormones responsib…

miRNA ‐199a‐5p regulates VEGFA in endometrial mesenchymal stem cells and contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis
The Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1002/path.4295

It is believed that endometrial miRNAs contribute to the aetiology of endometriosis in stem cells; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here we collected serum samples from patients with or without endometriosis and characterized the miR…

Interleukin-1β induces cyclooxygenase-2 expression and promotes the invasive ability of human mesenchymal stem cells derived from ovarian endometrioma
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.06.041

ObjectiveTo elucidate the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and invasion of endometrioma-derived ectopic endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (EN-MSCs) and to develop an organoid method to study the invasiv…

Comparative study of human eutopic and ectopic endometrial mesenchymal stem cells and the development of an in vivo endometriotic invasion model
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.09.064

ObjectiveTo elucidate the role of endometrial stem-progenitor cells in the etiology of endometriosis and to develop an animal model to study the invasion ability of endometrial cells.DesignGene expression and cell function studies were desi…
