Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease which is associated with aberrant chemokine expression. We have established a three-dimensional (3D) floating collagen gel culture of human endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs) as an in vi…
BACKGROUND: A number of microRNAs are aberrantly expressed in endometriosis and are involved in its pathogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that has-miR-100-5p expression is enhanced in human endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs). …
A number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis are silenced by the hypermethylation of their promoter regions. We assessed the effect and mechanism of the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) (10 μM) on…
BACKGROUND: We previously showed that microRNA-503 (miR-503) transfection into endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs) induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase by suppressing cyclin D1. This finding prompted us to evaluate the potentia…
STUDY QUESTION: Is the micro-RNA (miRNA) miR-503, downregulated in endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs) and does this affect the cell cycle, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and contractility of these cells? SUMMARY ANSWER: miR-503 expr…
