Enhanced CD56 Expression and Increased Number of CD56+bright Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Untreated Endometriosis Patients

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.70214

PROBLEM: NK-cell dysfunction in endometriosis is suggested to contribute to the survival of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, the underlying causes of this impairment remain unclear. NK cells are divided into: CD56+bright, which produce …

Enhanced local and systemic inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression in women with endometriosis evokes compensatory adaptive regulatory mRNA response that mediates immune suppression and impairs cytotoxicity

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.13298

PROBLEM: Endometriosis is a disease characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrium and impaired immune responses. To explore its pathogenic mechanisms, we studied the local and systemic cytokine mRNA profiles and their role in the imm…
