Addition of MCP-1 and MIP-3β to the IL-8 appraisal in peritoneal fluid enhances the probability of identifying women with endometriosis

Journal of Reproductive Immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2015.01.003

Chemokines have been associated with endometriosis. Our study was aimed at evaluating the levels of six chemokines--CXCL8 (IL-8), CXCL12 (SDF-1), CCL2 (MCP-1), CCL5 (RANTES), CCL19 (MIP-3β), and CCL21 (6-Ckine)--in the peritoneal fluid (PF)…

Immunohistochemical Investigation of Metastasis-Related Chemokines in Deep-Infiltrating Endometriosis and Compromised Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Nodes

Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115592711

Endometriosis is a prevalent benign disease, despite sharing several similarities with malignancies, such as the possibility of lymphatic spread. In malignancies, chemokines play a sovereign role in the process of metastasis. Metastasis-rel…

Estrogen and progestogen receptor positive endometriotic lesions and disseminated cells in pelvic sentinel lymph nodes of patients with deep infiltrating rectovaginal endometriosis: a pilot study

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den259

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) shows similarities to malignant diseases. A recent study involving DIE patients found endometriosis in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection. However, it is unclear wh…
