Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen (E2)-dependent inflammatory disorder. Although EMs is considered a benign disease, it presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. An increasing number of studies have shown tha…

Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the process of endometriosis. Whether oestrogen could induce EMT in endometriosis remains largely unknown. Here, we reported that up…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder, and presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. Hypoxia has been implicated in triggering epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Hypoxia is also known to induce …

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disease that shares some common features of malignancy. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been recognized as a core mechanism of endometriosis. MALAT1 is widely known as …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by diminished apoptosis, sustained ectopic survival of dysfunctional endometrial cells. Hypoxia has been implicated as a crucial microenvironmental factor that contributes to end…

Oestrogen has been reported to control the invasiveness of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis. Notch signalling, a master regulator of cell invasion in tumours, is regulated by oestrogen in other diseases and hyperactivated in endom…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER, also known as GPR30 and GPER1) stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in eutopic endometrium (EuEM) of endometriosis. DESIGN: Immunohistochemical analysi…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that shares some characteristics with malignancy like migration and invasion. It has been reported that both hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and autophagy were upregulated in ectopic endo…

STUDY QUESTION: How does hypoxia promote growth of lesions in the development of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Hypoxia induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometrial cells, resulting in changes in cellular characterist…

Extracellular matrix remodeling is necessary for ectopic endometrium implantation. Many studies have shown an increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in the ectopic endometrium of endometriosis. However, the signaling path…
