Lipoxin A₄ prevents the progression of de novo and established endometriosis in a mouse model by attenuating prostaglandin E₂ production and estrogen signaling
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0089742

Endometriosis, a leading cause of pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue and affects approximately 176 million women worldwide. The pathophysiology involves inflammatory and angiogenic med…

Augmented epithelial multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 expression in peritoneal endometriosis: regulation by lipoxin A(4)
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2013.01.146

OBJECTIVE: To compare the expression of the prostaglandin (PG) E(2) transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4) in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue from endometriosis patients with that of control subjects and to exam…

Tumor necrosis factor-α activates estrogen signaling pathways in endometrial epithelial cells via estrogen receptor α
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2011.06.043

The pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and the female hormone estrogen have been implicated in the pathophysiology of two common gynecological diseases, endometriosis and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Here we describe a novel capacity of TNF-α t…
