Celecoxib attenuates interleukin 33-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 in human ovarian endometriotic stromal cells
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2024.01.012

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease in women of reproductive age. A review of the literature revealed that cytokines and inflammatory factors are associated with endometriosis-associated infertilit…

Interleukin-33 promotes invasiveness of human ovarian endometriotic stromal cells through the ST2/MAPK/MMP-9 pathway activated by 17β-estradiol
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2021.05.013

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, benign, and chronic gynecological disorder occurring in women of reproductive age. Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly understood, implantation theory indicates that viable…

Modulation of tumor stem cell characteristics by 17β-estradiol in human mesenchymal stem cells derived from ovarian endometrioma
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2019.03.009

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian endometrioma is a cyst composed of endometrial tissue and is present in 20%-40% of patients with endometriosis. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign and chronic gynecological disease that affects women of reprodu…

Interleukin-1β induces cyclooxygenase-2 expression and promotes the invasive ability of human mesenchymal stem cells derived from ovarian endometrioma
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.06.041

ObjectiveTo elucidate the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and invasion of endometrioma-derived ectopic endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (EN-MSCs) and to develop an organoid method to study the invasiv…

article 2010
Comparative study of human eutopic and ectopic endometrial mesenchymal stem cells and the development of an in vivo endometriotic invasion model
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.09.064

ObjectiveTo elucidate the role of endometrial stem-progenitor cells in the etiology of endometriosis and to develop an animal model to study the invasion ability of endometrial cells.DesignGene expression and cell function studies were desi…
