Retinoic acid is a cofactor for translational regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in human endometrial stromal cells.
Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) ·doi:10.1210/me.2009-0155

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endometrial angiogenesis play a critical role in successful embryonic implantation. Despite many studies of the effects of estrogen and progesterone on VEGF expression, its focal regulation at t…

review 2008
Mechanistic and Therapeutic Implications of Angiogenesis in Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719108324893

Like tumor metastases, endometriotic implants require neovascularization to proliferate and invade into ectopic sites within the host. Endometrial tissue, with its robust stem cell populations and remarkable regenerative capabilities, is a …

article 2003
Cytokine regulation by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in human endometrial cells
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(02)04835-5

ObjectiveTo determine whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma ligands can affect the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and cytokines related to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.DesignIn vitro study to determine whe…

review 2002
Regulation and modulation of abnormal immune responses in endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb02777.x

There is ample evidence demonstrating that endometriosis is accompanied by inflammatory reactions in the peritoneum, resulting in abnormal levels of a variety of cytokines and chemokines in the peritoneal fluid. Among the immunological para…

Retinoic acid suppresses interleukin-6 production in human endometrial cells
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(00)00483-0

ObjectiveTo determine whether retinoic acid (RA) can regulate the expression of interleukin (IL)-6 in human endometrial cells in a manner that might be beneficial to women with endometriosis.DesignIn vitro study.SettingAcademic medical cent…

article 2000
RU486-induced growth inhibition of human endometrial cells
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(00)01606-x

ObjectiveTo determine the direct action of RU486 on endometrial cell proliferation and to differentiate whether the antioxidant or the antiprogesterone property of RU486 is predominately responsible for its effect on cell growth.DesignIn vi…
