Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP), and the two splice variants of survivin (survivin-2B and survivin-EX3) have been identified. Gene expression levels of survivin, survivin-2B and survivin-EX3 in 56 ectopic (16 peritoneal red…
Angiogenesis is essential for the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Gene expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A and C in 10 eutopic endometrial, 23 normal peritoneal, and 62 endometriotic tissues surgically obtained f…
Like carcinoma, endometriosis has the unique characteristics, of invasion and metastasis, though pathologically, it is a benign tumor. However, the mechanism of destruction of the surrounding tissue in endometriosis is still unclear. In thi…
Various types of cell adhesion molecules and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) seem to play an important role in the invasion process of endometriosis; however, limited investigation has focused on their gene expression in human peritoneal e…
ObjectiveTo evaluate how endometriosis affects expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in granulosa cells.DesignProspective study.SettingIVF-ET program at Osaka Medical College.Patient(s)Seventeen pa…
Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis and is expressed during fetal development and in cancer tissues, but its expression has not been reported in normal adult tissues or benign diseases. We investigated survivin gene and protein expre…
