Endometriosis, an inflammatory disease, is characterized by the aberrant presence of endometrial tissues at ectopic locations. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory cells, such as interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing cells, may be in…
BACKGROUND: Seminal plasma exosomes are now recognized to play a complex role in the regulation of the female reproductive system infertility. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of exosomes derived from the sperm of men wi…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of endometrial stromal cells (ESC) in endometriotic patients? DESIGN: ESC isolated from 10 women with endometriosis and 10 healthy…
BACKGROUND: To study the concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum, and to evaluate their expressions by PF and …
Resveratrol is a phytochemical with anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The present study has evaluated the effect of resveratrol on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growt…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, painful, and inflammatory disease characterized by extra-uterine growth of endometrial tissues. Increased angiogenesis and resistance to apoptosis have been suggested to be involved in pathogenesis an…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common chronic gynecological disorders affecting women at reproductive age. Dysregulation of immune cells, including regulatory T (Treg) cells has contributed to the growth of ectopic lesion in p…
Research questionEndometriosis, an inflammatory disease, is assumed to be associated with an increased production of growth-related cytokines. Based on the emerging immunomodulatory role of vitamin D3 in different inflammatory conditions, t…
BACKGROUND: The present study was designed to verify the accuracy of the noninvasive biomarkers enolase/Cr, CA125, and CA19-9 as a clinical diagnostic tool for the detection of endometriosis. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed a…
Background: We aimed to examine resveratrol effects on gene expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in endometrial stromal cells derived from women with and without endometriosis. Methods: Endometrial tissues were obtained from 40 endo…
PurposeVitamin D (Vit D), as an immunomodulator, has been hypothesized to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Thus, in this study, we evaluated whether there is an association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and…
Resveratrol, a phytoalexin polyphenol, has antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The present study has assessed the effect of resveratrol treatment on the expression of insulin-like growth factor-…
PROBLEM: We aimed to evaluate modulatory effects of vitamin D3 on endometriosis-related features of endometriotic stromal cells. METHOD OF STUDY: The effect of vitamin D3 on adhesion, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis, cytokine production,…
ObjectiveTo study immunophenotype, differential proliferation capacity, invasiveness, adhesion, and cytokine production in ectopic and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs and EuESCs) from patients with endometriosis.DesignIn vitro stud…
