We applied in the previous study miRNA microarray screening analysis to identify several differentially expressed miRNAs, including miR-183 in normal, eutopic, and ectopic endometrium. Knockdown of miR-183 expression induced the invasivenes…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, yet its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Recent studies have demonstrated that the aberrant expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) may correlate with the development and progression …

Endometriosis is a common disease in females of reproductive age and has the classic characteristic of mononuclear cell infiltration into lesions. Shikonin is an anti-inflammatory phytocompound obtained from Lithospermum erythrorhizon whose…

RANTES (C-C chemokine, regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) is involved in progression of endometriosis, but the precise mechanism is understood inadequately. This study is to elucidate the roles of RANTES in macro…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of the combined E(2) with the environmental pollutant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on CCR8-I-309 expression by the endometriotic lesion-associated cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. …

BACKGROUND: Chemokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In the present study, the transcription of 18 chemokine receptors in eutopic endometrium and ectopic tissue with endometriosis was first analysed by RT-PCR.…
