The activation of systemic and local inflammatory mechanisms, including elevated levels of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines in endometriosis progression, is becoming more evident in the recent years. Here, we report the involvement …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition with unclear pathogenesis. Although a dysregulated lncRNA expression profile has been speculated, very few studies have addressed this hypothesis. We determined the differential lncRNA and m…

S100 calcium-binding protein A6 (S100A6) is up-regulated in many malignancies and overexpression of S100A6 has been identified associated with proliferation, migration and invasion phenotype in several cancer cells. In the present study, we…

PURPOSE: To investigate the expression patterns of N-acetyl galactosamine transferases (GalNAc-Ts)-3 and GalNAc-T6 in clinicopathologically characterized endometriosis (EMS), and to explore their clinical significance. METHODS: Ectopic and…

STUDY QUESTION: Is phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) associated with increased motility of endometriotic cells from endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated PRL-3 promotes cytoskeleton reorganization, cell migration and invasion of…

This study investigates the influence of ovarian endometrioma on expression of steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA), estrogen receptors (ERs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) in the surrounding ovaria…

Estradiol and its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) α and ER-β, have important functions in endometriosis, and the transcriptional activity of these receptors is modulated by coactivators and corepressors. The steroid receptor RNA a…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of aquaporin 5(AQP5) on proliferation and migration of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells. METHODS: AQP5 shRNA interference fragments were designed and transfected into ectopic endometrial epithelial …

Evaluation of the efficacy of a danazol-loaded intrauterine contraceptive device on adenomyosis in an ICR

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of exogenous suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in Janus Kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathways and examine the relationship between exogenous SOCS…

The modulating attributes of steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) on steroid receptors have been shown in some types of tumor cells. There is compelling evidence to suggest that this molecule may play a critical role in the develop…

This study investigates the influence of ovarian endometrioma on expression of steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA), estrogen receptors (ERs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) in the surrounding ovaria…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between IL-10 promoter gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to endometriosis (EMs) in Chinese population. Amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reactions …

BACKGROUND: Danazol, a synthetic steroid with antigonadotrophic properties, has been widely used for the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis. However, the local application of danazol to the uterus to treat adenomyosis is controversi…

Objective To explore the effectiveness of danazol-loaded intrauterine device in treating experimentally induced uterine adenomyosis in the ICR mice.Methods ICR mice model of uterine adenomyosis was induced by pituitary grafting to investiga…
