Lack of association between endometriosis and theCYP17 MspA1 polymorphism in UK and Japanese populations
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590400020856

Endometriosis is a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with one another and the environment to produce the phenotype. One of the genes previously implicated in the disease is CYP17; this encodes the enzyme…

Pathologies of the uterine endometrial cavity: usual and unusual manifestations and pitfalls on magnetic resonance imaging
European radiology ·doi:10.1007/s00330-005-2814-x

The endometrial cavity may demonstrate various imaging manifestations such as normal, reactive, inflammatory, and benign and malignant neoplasms. We evaluated usual and unusual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the uterine endome…

A combination of interleukin-6 and its soluble receptor impairs sperm motility: implications in infertility associated with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh324

BACKGROUND: We previously reported that the level of interleukin (IL)-6 is increased in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) on in vitro…

Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Met System Promotes Endometrial and Endometriotic Stromal Cell Invasion via Autocrine and Paracrine Pathways
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2003-030874

Endometrial stromal cells reportedly have a role in the initial invasion of endometrial tissue into the peritoneum. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is a ligand for the c-met protooncogene product (Met), stimulates proliferation and in…

No Association of Endometriosis With Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and T1 Null Mutations in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2003.07.009

ObjectiveEndometriosis is inherited as a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with each other and with environmental factors to produce the phenotype. We investigated the frequency of glutathione S-transfer…

Polymorphism at Codon 72 of the p53 Gene Is Not associated With Endometriosis in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2003.11.004

ObjectiveEndometriosis is inherited as a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with each other and the environment to produce the phenotype. Previous studies have implicated p53, a tumor suppressor gene, as …

Polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor β gene but not estrogen receptor α gene affect the risk of developing endometriosis in a Japanese population
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2004.02.094

ObjectiveTo determine whether polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta genes are associated with endometriosis in a Japanese population.DesignAssociation study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Japanese women diagnosed …

article 2004
The tumor necrosis factor-α promoter −1031C polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of endometriosis in a Japanese population
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh478

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine, associated with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Elevated TNF-alpha levels in peritoneal fluid have been reported in women with …

article 2004
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced the release of interleukin-6 from endometriotic stromal cells by the nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2004.02.134

ObjectiveTo examine the involvement of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the induction of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in endometriotic stromal cells (ESC).De…

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced Interleukin-8 (IL-8) Expression in Endometriotic Stromal Cells, Probably through Nuclear Factor-κB Activation: Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment Reduced IL-8 Expression
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2002-020666

Endometriosis, a common disease among women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. We previously reported that TNFalpha promoted proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells by i…

Laparoscopic Surgery for the Management of Ovarian Endometrioma
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000066291

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic surgery on the symptoms associated with ovarian endometrioma. We also examined serum IL-6 concentrations in patients with endometrioma. Ninety-two patients who underwent …

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha promotes proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells by inducing interleukin-8 gene and protein expression
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.85.2.6335

Endometriosis, a common disease among women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. We and others showed that several cytokine levels, including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor nec…

Increased interleukin-6 levels in peritoneal fluid of infertile patients with active endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(97)70553-2

ObjectiveOur purpose was to investigate the relationship between the levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-6 soluble receptor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in peritoneal fluid and the size and number of active red endometriotic lesions.St…
