Expression and function of nuclear receptor coactivator 4 isoforms in transformed endometriotic and malignant ovarian cells
Oncotarget ·doi:10.18632/oncotarget.23747

Iron is proposed to contribute to the transition from endometriosis to specific subtypes of ovarian cancers (OVCAs). Regulation of intracellular iron occurs via a ferritinophagic process involving NCOA4 (Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 4), rep…

Effect of hydroxychloroquine and characterization of autophagy in a mouse model of endometriosis
Cell death & disease ·doi:10.1038/cddis.2015.361

In endometriosis, the increased survival potential of shed endometrial cells (which normally undergo anoikis) is suggested to promote lesion development. One mechanism that may alter anoikis is autophagy. Using an autophagic flux inhibitor …

Abstract 1044: Role of autophagic mediators in the transition from endometriosis to endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers
·doi:10.1158/1538-7445.am2011-1044

Abstract Endometriosis, a common painful and inflammatory gynecological disease, has been proposed to contribute to the development of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer, specifically the endometrioid and clear cell subtypes. The mecha…
