Endometrium from women with and without endometriosis, and peritoneal, ovarian and bowel endometriosis, show different c-kit protein expression
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2004.09.002

BackgroundEndometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrium outside the uterus. Changes in the expression of the proto-oncogene c-kit are associated with aggressive behaviour of both benign and malignant tumours, but there are few dat…

Expression of apoptosis-related proteins in peritoneal, ovarian and colorectal endometriosis
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2005.11.003

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. Apoptosis, a physiological process by which multicellular organisms eliminate superfluous cells, is altered in tumor tissue. Here we studied the e…

Eutopic endometrium and peritoneal, ovarian and bowel endometriotic tissues express a different profile of matrix metalloproteinases-2, -3 and -11, and of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases-1 and -2
Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology ·doi:10.1007/s00428-004-1117-y

Endometriosis is subsequent to the ability of endometrial glands to invade normal tissues. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)--enzymes that mediate normal tissue turnover, including endometrial breakdown during menstruation-appear to be invol…
