Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pain and infertility. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) serves as a vital technique for elucidating t…
Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder associated with local inflammation and neuroproliferation. Increased nerve bundle density has been attributed to increased expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Immunoh…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between the somatic loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and ARID1A (AT-rich interaction domain 1A) and endometriosis disease severity and worse clinical outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: Somatic PTE…
Introduction We propose a standardized protocol for measurement of nerve bundle density in endometriosis as a potential biomarker, including in deep endometriosis (DE), ovarian endometriomas (OMA) and superficial peritoneal endometriosis (S…
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of interleukin (IL)-1β and the plasminogen activating (PA) system members in endometriotic stromal cell (ESC) migration/invasion. DESIGN: Primary cultures of ESCs. SETTING: Tertiary referral center for endometri…
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and is characterized by the presence of abnormal endometrium at ectopic sites. ARID1A mutations are observed in deeply invasive forms of the disease, often correlating with malignancy. To identify epigene…
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissues. Mechanisms of tissue dissemination in endometriosis may be similar to those involved in tumor metastasis. We hypothesize that dysregulation of kisspeptin (KISS1)…
STUDY QUESTION: Does interleukin-1β (IL-1β) play a role in promoting nerve growth factor expression, neurogenesis and deep dyspareunia in endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: IL-1β directly stimulates nerve growth factor (NGF) expression in endom…
CONTEXT; Deep dyspareunia (pelvic pain with sexual intercourse) affects half of women with endometriosis, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptor (TrkA/p75NTR) …
PURPOSE: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is defined as an endometriotic lesion penetrating to a depth of >5 mm and is associated with pelvic pain, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Our objective is to investigate whether plas…
Endometriosis is a disease that affects almost 10% of reproductive-age women, where 50 % of these women have pelvic pain with sexual intercourse. Deep endometriosis is defined as an endometriotic lesion penetrating to a depth of 5 mm or mor…
