Dioxin may promote inflammation-related development of endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.02.102

Laboratory and population-based studies suggest that exposure to environmental toxicants may be one of several triggers for the development of endometriosis. We discuss evidence that modulation of the endometrial endocrine-immune interface …

Reduced expression of progesterone receptor-B in the endometrium of women with endometriosis and in cocultures of endometrial cells exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.01.113

OBJECTIVE: To analyze endometrial progesterone receptor (PR) expression in women with endometriosis compared with disease-free women and to assess the impact of in vitro 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure on PR isotype expr…

Matrix Metalloproteinases and Endometriosis
Seminars in reproductive medicine ·doi:10.1055/s-2003-41322

Retrograde menstruation represents a plausible explanation for the development of most cases of endometriosis; nevertheless, additional factors must contribute to the development of disease in only 10 to 20% of women. The discriminating fac…

Autoantibody Responses to Carbohydrate Epitopes in Endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb02778.x

Autoantibody responses to endometrial and serum antigens are a common feature of endometriosis. We have shown that the serum autoantibody response in endometriosis to a number of previously identified antigens, including alpha2-Heremans Sch…

Differential regulation of progesterone receptor (PR) by Tcdd in isolated human endometrial stromal cells versus stromal-epithelial co-cultures

article 2002
Steroid and Cytokine Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression in Endometriosis and the Establishment of Experimental Endometriosis in Nude Mice
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2002-020418

The cyclic expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by human endometrium has been suggested to play a role in the invasive process necessary to establish endometriosis. The ability of progesterone exposure to inhibit endometrial MMP-3…

article 2001
Autoantibodies in Endometriosis Sera Recognize a Thomsen–Friedenreich-like Carbohydrate Antigen
Journal of autoimmunity ·doi:10.1006/jaut.2000.0465

Autoantibody responses to endometrial antigens are a common feature of endometriosis. Antibody responses to a number of serum and tissue antigens such as alpha(2)-Heremans Schmidt glycoprotein (alpha(2)-HSG), transferrin, and carbonic anhyd…

review 1997
Immune Aspects of Endometriosis: Relevance of the Uterine Mucosal Immune System
Seminars in reproductive endocrinology ·doi:10.1055/s-2008-1068750

Endometriosis is classically defined as the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. It is a common disease characterized by infertility, chronic pain and adhesion formation. Immune dysregulation, evidenced by decreased clea…
