To evaluate the involvement of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms (PDGF-AlphaAlpha, PDGF-AB, and PDGF-BB) on endometrial tissue remodeling during the perimenstrual period, we investigated the effects of PDGF on the proliferation…
Interferon (IFN)-beta, not IFN-alpha, suppresses vascular endothelial growth factor secretion in endometriotic cyst stromal cells. It was suggested that IFN-beta may be more suitable than IFN-alpha as an anti-endometriotic agent.
To evaluate the involvement of chemokines in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we investigated the expression of CXC chemokines in cultured ovarian endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSC), endometrial stromal cells with endometriosis (ESCw…
In order to evaluate the involvement of cell proliferation and apoptosis in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we investigated the effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on cell growth inhibition and apoptosis of cultured ovarian endometri…
