EMMPRIN is secreted by human uterine epithelial cells in microvesicles and stimulates metalloproteinase production by human uterine fibroblast cells
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719112450332

Endometrial remodeling is a physiological process involved in the gynecological disease, endometriosis. Tissue remodeling is directed by uterine fibroblast production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Several MMPs are regulated directly …

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer expression in the baboon endometrium: menstrual cycle and endometriosis
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep-09-0481

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN; BSG) regulates tissue remodeling through matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In human and non-human primates, endometrial remodeling is important for menstruation and the pathogenesis o…

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer regulates metalloproteinases in human uterine endometrium
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2005-0601

CONTEXT: Endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women and also during the establishment of endometriosis. Both processes involve the production of metalloproteinases (MMPs) by uterine endometrial cells. OBJECTIVE: The…

Adenomyosis demonstrates increased expression of the basic fibroblast growth factor receptor/ligand system compared with autologous endometrium
Menopause (New York, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1097/00042192-200109000-00012

OBJECTIVES: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an angiogenic growth factor present in human endometrium and myometrium. Women with leiomyoma-related abnormal uterine bleeding have local dysregulation of bFGF and its type 1 receptor (F…
