Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is a common gynecologic malignancy. Evidence from several studies suggests that subtypes of this cancer-specifically clear-cell ovarian carcinoma and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (ENOC)-are associated with end…

BACKGROUND: Tumor microenvironment is well known to have a key role in tumor development. Extracellular vesicles are capable in cell signaling transduction and important in regulation of tumor microenvironment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whe…

Endometriosis is a common disease in women and may be one of the factors that induces malignant epithelial ovarian tumors. Previous studies suggested that endometriosis is related to ARID1A mutation mediating the expression of HDAC6, but th…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5-10% of reproductive-aged women. However, the etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis are currently unclear. The objective of this study was to identify a pot…

CONTEXT: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as modulators of the disease microenvironment, thereby supporting disease progression. However, the potential role of EVs and their content to the pathophysiology of endometriosis re…

Endometriosis is considered a high risk factor for the development of ovarian carcinoma, including clear cell and endometrioid malignancies. The mechanism by which endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) avoids anti-tumor immune surv…

Abstract An elevated level of IL‐10 has been considered a critical factor for the development of endometriosis; however, its detailed mechanism and causal relationship remain unclear. This study explored the cellular source and angiogenic a…

Ovarian cancer is the one of the most lethal gynecological cancer types. MicroRNAs (miRs) are noncoding RNAs that modulate the translation of their target mRNAs via binding to a complementary sequence in the target 3' untranslated region, a…

Phthalate, an environmental toxin, has been considered as an endocrine-disrupting chemical. Growing evidence has demonstrated links between endocrine-disrupting chemicals, tissue development, and reproductive physiology, but the mechanisms …

Ovarian carcinosarcoma cancer is the most lethal form of gynecological malignancy, but the pathogenesis and biological function for this ovarian cancer remain unknown. We establishment the transgenic mouse model of K‐ras G12D p53 loxP/loxP …

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…

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…

Environmental hormones play important roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, drug resistance, and breast cancer risk; however, their precise role in human breast cancer cells during cancer progression re…

Phthalates--substances used in the manufacture of plastics--are considered as possible human carcinogens and tumor-promoting agents. The worldwide annual production of plastics surpassed 300 million tons in 2010. Plastics are an indispensab…

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…
