Progesterone and progestational compounds attenuate tumor necrosis factor alpha–induced interleukin-8 production via nuclear factor kappaB inactivation in endometriotic stromal cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2004.11.042

ObjectiveTo investigate whether and how P, dienogest (synthetic progestin), and danazol affected tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in endometriotic stromal cells.DesignProspective study.SettingDe…

A combination of interleukin-6 and its soluble receptor impairs sperm motility: implications in infertility associated with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh324

BACKGROUND: We previously reported that the level of interleukin (IL)-6 is increased in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) on in vitro…

Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Met System Promotes Endometrial and Endometriotic Stromal Cell Invasion via Autocrine and Paracrine Pathways
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2003-030874

Endometrial stromal cells reportedly have a role in the initial invasion of endometrial tissue into the peritoneum. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is a ligand for the c-met protooncogene product (Met), stimulates proliferation and in…

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment reduced serum interleukin-6 concentrations in patients with ovarian endometriomas
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(03)00609-5

ObjectiveTo determine whether serum interleukin (IL)-6 can be measured in patients with ovarian endometriomas and whether these measurements are useful in managing this disease.DesignA controlled clinical study and an in vitro study.Setting…

article 1999
Role of Cytokines in Progression of Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052857

Peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis contains an increased number of activated macrophages that secrete a variety of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha …
