BACKGROUND: Tumor microenvironment is well known to have a key role in tumor development. Extracellular vesicles are capable in cell signaling transduction and important in regulation of tumor microenvironment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whe…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Although studies have reported that downregulation of HOXD10 expression may contribute to the migration and invasion abilities in EOC, much about its regulation rema…
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a common plasticizer, is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that can disrupt endocrine function. Epidemiological studies suggest that chronic exposure to DEHP in the environment is associated with the p…
Endometriosis is an inflammatory and estrogen-dependent gynecological disease associated with exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors. n-Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), a ubiquitous plasticizer, has weak estrogenic activity, and exposu…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease and is associated etiologically with environmental endocrine disruptor (EED) exposure. 4-nonylphenol (NP), a widely found EED, has weak estrogenic activity and modulates pl…
The objective of this research is to study the effects of TGF-β1 inhibition on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in mice with adenomyosis. Experiments were done using a mouse model of adenomyosis which took place in a hospital-…
Abstract Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent and chronic inflammatory disease, which retrograded menstrual endometrial cells enter the pelvis and abnormally grow outside the uterine cavity. Severe symptoms such as infertility and chronic…
Adenomyosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. The mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis of adenomyosis remain unclear. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is characterized by losing cel…
Abstract An elevated level of IL‐10 has been considered a critical factor for the development of endometriosis; however, its detailed mechanism and causal relationship remain unclear. This study explored the cellular source and angiogenic a…
Immune dysregulation may be involved in the development of endometriosis. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 plays an important role in eliminating unwanted cells and cellular debris in a silent way. We investigated the modulatory role of…
Environmental hormones play important roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, drug resistance, and breast cancer risk; however, their precise role in human breast cancer cells during cancer progression re…
