Platelets induce increased estrogen production through NF-κB and TGF-β1 signaling pathways in endometriotic stromal cells
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-57997-6

Abstract Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent disorder. Two theories provide the explanations for the increased estrogen production. One is the feed-forward loop model linking inflammation and estrogen production. The more recent model evoke…

Activated Platelets Induce Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Expression Likely through Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Human Endometrial Stromal Cells
·doi:10.4103/2096-2924.262390

Objective: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with an enigmatic pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that the behavior of normal endometrial stromal cells can dramatically change under hypoxic conditions, which effectively turn…

Estrogen Biosynthesis and Its Regulation in Endometriosis
·doi:10.4103/2096-2924.210698

Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disorder with an enigmatic etiology and pathogenesis. It affects approximately 10% women of reproductive age. Although its etiology and pathogenesis remain poorly understood, it is characterize…

Chronic stress accelerates the development of endometriosis in mouse through adrenergic receptor β2
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dew237

STUDY QUESTION: Does chronic stress in mice accelerate the development of endometriosis, and, if so, through what mechanism? SUMMARY ANSWER: Exposure to chronic stress accelerates the development of endometriosis and exacerbates the endomet…

Corroborating evidence for platelet-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transdifferentiation in the development of adenomyosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dew018

STUDY QUESTION: Do platelets play any role in the development of adenomyosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: As in endometriosis, adenomyotic lesions show significantly increased platelet aggregation, increased expression of transforming growth factor (TG…
