Distinct regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 by interleukin-1beta in normal and endometriotic stromal cells
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2004-1612

Aberrant production of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays pivotal roles in many pathological processes including tumorigenesis and endometriosis, although the underlying mechanism remains obscure. Herein we report evidence to demonstrate that C…

Suppression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 by Prostaglandin E2 in Peritoneal Macrophage Is Associated with Severity of Endometriosis
The American journal of pathology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9440(10)61195-9

Decreased phagocytotic ability of macrophages has been reported to be associated with the severity of endometriosis, although the underlying mechanism remains uncharacterized. Expression and secretion of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 by …

Distinct mechanisms regulate cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in peritoneal macrophages of women with and without endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/8.12.1103

Prostaglandin (PG) E2 has been shown to stimulate steroidogenesis in ectopic endometriotic stromal cells and may be involved in the development of endometriosis since this disorder is highly estrogen dependent. The biosynthesis of PGE2 is c…

Increased leptin expression in endometriosis cells is associated with endometrial stromal cell proliferation and leptin gene up-regulation
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/8.5.456

Endometriosis is a polygenic disease with complex, multifactorial aetiologies affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Leptin is the product of the ob gene, which is related to reproductive function and immunological altera…
