Relationship Between Toll‐like Receptor‐4 and mPGES‐1 Gene Expression in Local Lesions of Endometriosis Patients
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12056

PROBLEM: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are innate immune receptors that mediate the pattern recognition of, and response toward, pathogens and host-derived danger signals. We reported that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin …

Expression of Inducible Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase in Local Lesions of Endometriosis Patients
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2006.00466.x

PROBLEM: Recently, an inducible microsomal human prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES) was identified. This enzyme converts the cyclooxygenase (COX) product, prostaglandin (PG) H(2), to PGE(2), an eicosanoid linked to carcinogenesis. Although el…

Increased expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in local lesions of endometriosis patients
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2002.01101.x

PROBLEM: Human endometrial glands contain the highest levels of cyclooxygenase (COX), although whether it is COX-1 and/or COX-2 has not been previously determined. Overexpression of COX-2 may result in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. ME…
