IL-1beta induction of RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) chemokine gene expression in endometriotic stromal cells depends on a nuclear factor-kappaB site in the proximal promoter
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.86.10.7890

A complex network of cytokines mediates immunoregulatory responses in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) is a chemoattractant for monocytes and T cells. Endometriotic …

Induction of an angiogenic phenotype in endometriotic stromal cell cultures by interleukin-1 
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/6.3.269

Activated peritoneal macrophages are associated with endometriosis and may play a central role in its aetiology by releasing interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in response to refluxed endometrium. Pari passu with the establishment of endometrioti…

Immunolocalization and Regulation of the Chemokine RANTES in Human Endometrial and Endometriosis Tissues and Cells1
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.82.5.3919

Retrograde menstruation is postulated as the initiating event in the histogenesis of endometriosis; however, subsequent steps in the pathogenesis of this common disorder remain poorly characterized. The ip accumulation of activated leukocyt…
