Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Is Involved in a Positive Feedback Loop Increasing Aromatase Expression in Endometriosis
The American journal of pathology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajpath.2012.05.018

Immune-endocrine interplay may play a major role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In the present study, we have investigated the interaction between macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a major pro-inflammatory and growth-prom…

Soluble human IL-1 receptor type 2 inhibits ectopic endometrial tissue implantation and growth: identification of a novel potential target for endometriosis treatment
The American journal of pathology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajpath.2012.06.022

Endometriosis is often associated with a chronic pelvic immuno-inflammatory process, which is closely related to disease pathogenesis and major symptoms. Our studies led to the detection of a marked imbalance between IL-1 and its natural in…

Distinct expression of the soluble and the membrane-bound forms of interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein in the endometrium of women with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.12.056

Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in the eutopic endometrial tissue of women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del297

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease where endometrial tissue implants in ectopic locations. Remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a prerequisite for the implantation of this tissue to be possible. METHODS: In this study, we de…

article 2003
Deficient Expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type 2 in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2003.00058.x

Problem: Tumor necrosis factor‐ α (TNF‐ α ) is secreted mainly during the menstrual phase and has been suggested to play a role in induction of apoptosis in endometrial cells and menstrual shedding. TNF‐ α receptor type 2 (TNF‐RII) is belie…
