Abnormal Interleukin-1 Receptor Type II Gene Expression in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod66.2.401

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a major proinflammatory cytokine that is believed to play a central role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The IL-1 receptor type II (IL-1RII) is known to bind to IL-1 and to inhibit its biological effects. In…

Correlation Between Decreased Type‐II Interleukin‐1 Receptor and Increased Monocyte Chemotactic Protein‐1 Expression in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.8755-8920.2001.450401.x

PROBLEM: Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent inducer of macrophage recruitment and activation, is overexpressed in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis. Eutopic endometrial cells of women with endometriosis secre…

Identification of macrophage migration inhibitory factor as a potent endothelial cell growth-promoting agent released by ectopic human endometrial cells
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.85.12.7003

The growth of endometrial cells in ectopic locations (endometriosis) is dependent on the establishment of an adequate blood supply. Neovascularization (angiogenesis) is therefore a vital step toward the progression of this disease. We first…
