Overexpressed nicotinamide N‑methyltransferase in endometrial stromal cells induced by macrophages and estradiol contributes to cell proliferation in endometriosis
Cell death discovery ·doi:10.1038/s41420-024-02229-3

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition, afflicts reproductive-aged women. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a critical enzyme inv…

Downregulating HK2 inhibits proliferation of endometrial stromal cells through a noncanonical pathway involving phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 in endometriosis
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1093/biolre/ioac081

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disease that causes chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility and shares several characteristics with malignant tumors, afflicting women of reproductive age. Hexokinase 2 plays an es…

Hypoxia-hindered methylation of PTGIS in endometrial stromal cells accelerates endometriosis progression by inducing CD16- NK-cell differentiation
Experimental & molecular medicine ·doi:10.1038/s12276-022-00793-1

Prostacyclin (PGI2) plays key roles in shaping the immune microenvironment and modulating vasodilation, whereas its contribution to endometriosis (EMs) remains largely unclear. Our study suggested that prostacyclin synthase (PTGIS)-dependen…

PrPC Promotes Endometriosis Progression by Reprogramming Cholesterol Metabolism and Estrogen Biosynthesis of Endometrial Stromal Cells through PPARα Pathway
International journal of biological sciences ·doi:10.7150/ijbs.68015

Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized as an estrogen-dependent disease. Whereas, the underlying mechanism for activated estrogen biosynthesis in EMs lesions is largely unknown. We analyzed cholesterol metabolism and estrogen biosynthesis con…

Down-Regulating Hexokinase 2 Inhibits Proliferation of Endometrial Stromal Cells Through a Noncanonical Pathway Involving Phosphorylated-STAT1 in Endometriosis
·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-845266/v1

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disease that causes chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility and shares several characteristics with malignant tumors, afflicting women of reproductive age. Hexokinase 2 (…

article 2021
Follistatin-like I promotes endometriosis by increasing proinflammatory factors and promoting angiogenesis
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep-21-0094

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic benign inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue in aberrant locations outside of the uterine cavity. Angiogenesis and abnormal immune responses are the fundamental requirem…

article 2020
Estrogen-regulated CD200 inhibits macrophage phagocytosis in endometriosis
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2020.103090

ObjectivesEndometriosis (EMS) is a benign disease that is related to estrogen, immune disorders and inflammation. The purpose of this research was to determine the expression of CD200 in EMS and to clarify its role in the pathogenesis of th…
