OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of endometriotic haptoglobin on peritoneal macrophage function. DESIGN: Prospective laboratory study. SETTING: School of medicine. PATIENT(S): Twenty-three women with and without endometriosis. INTERVE…

Peritoneal endometriotic tissues synthesize and secrete haptoglobin (pHp), which has an analogous nucleotide sequence to hepatic haptoglobin found in serum (sHp). This study performed enzymatic digestions and lectin binding assays to determ…

In vivo levels of mRNA and the specificity of the extrauterine environment on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, MMP-2, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 were evaluated in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue during…

Based on our previous observation that peritoneal endometriotic (PE) lesions synthesize in vivo substantially more haptoglobin (Hp) than related eutopic tissues, we hypothesized that this increase in Hp production was due to endometrial-per…

Endometriosis protein-I (ENDO-I) mRNA expression and protein localization were evaluated using in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry in endometriotic lesions and eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis, and in eutopic end…

A unique glycoprotein, called endometriosis protein-I (ENDO-I), has previously been shown to be synthesized and secreted by rat and human endometriotic explants. Furthermore, the N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis showed that ENDO-I sh…

To explore the identity and possible function of endometriosis protein-I (ENDO-I), which is an acidic glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by endometriotic lesions, partial amino acid sequence and cDNA sequence were determined. Partially p…
