Decreased Progesterone Receptor B/A Ratio in Endometrial Cells by Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Peritoneal Fluid from Patients with Endometriosis
Yonsei medical journal ·doi:10.3349/ymj.2016.57.6.1468

PURPOSE: Progesterone resistance is thought to be a major factor that contributes to progression of endometriosis. However, it is not clear what causes progesterone resistance in endometriosis. This study aimed to assess whether cytokines o…

Increased expression of nuclear factor kappa-B p65 subunit in adenomyosis
Obstetrics & gynecology science ·doi:10.5468/ogs.2016.59.2.123

OBJECTIVE: Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) is a critical proinflammatory regulator that has been suggested to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate whether th…

Increased expression of p21-activated kinase 4 in adenomyosis and its regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in endometrial cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2014.12.124

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of p21-activated kinase 4 (Pak4) in both adenomyotic foci and the eutopic endometrium of women with adenomyosis, and whether the activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-2 and -9 are regulated by…

Possible Role of Phthalate in the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis: In Vitro, Animal, and Human Data
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2015-2478

CONTEXT: Although phthalates were shown to have several negative effects on reproductive function in animals, its role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the in vitro and in viv…

Increased Nuclear Expression of Nuclear Factor Kappa‐B p65 Subunit in the Eutopic Endometrium and Ovarian Endometrioma of Women with Advanced Stage Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12161

PROBLEM: We evaluated whether the expression of NF-кB p65 subunit is increased in the eutopic endometrium and/or in the ovarian endometrioma of women with advanced stage endometriosis, and ascertained in vitro effects of proinflammatory cyt…

Regulation of P21-Activated Kinase-4 by Progesterone and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in Human Endometrium and Its Increased Expression in Advanced-Stage Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2012-2969

CONTEXT: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition characterized by enhanced proliferation, adhesiveness, invasiveness, and survival of endometrial cells after retrograde menstruation. Originally identified as a cytoskeletal regulat…

Up-regulation of p21-activated kinase 1 by in vitro treatment with interleukin 1-beta and its increased expression in ovarian endometriotic cysts
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.05.082

We evaluated whether the proinflammatory cytokines can regulate p21-activated kinase (Pak1) expression in endometrial cells as well as whether its expression is increased in endometriotic cysts. We found that interleukin-1β up-regulates Pak…
