Influence of interleukin-8 polymorphism on endometriosis-related pelvic pain
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2023.07.004

Endometriosis presents a pro-inflammatory microenvironment influenced by cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-8, which expression may be influenced by genetic polymorphisms. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)-8 r…

DROSHA rs10719 and DICER1 rs3742330 polymorphisms in endometriosis and different diseases: Case-control and review studies.
Experimental and molecular pathology ·doi:10.1016/j.yexmp.2021.104616

ObjectiveDROSHA and DICER1 enzymes participate in the main stages of microRNA synthesis. Polymorphisms can influence mRNAs stability and genes expression, and hence affect the binding of miRNAs. Thus, the present study evaluated the associa…

Matrix metalloproteinases 3 polymorphism increases the risk of developing advanced endometriosis and infertility: A case-control study
European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X ·doi:10.1016/j.eurox.2019.100041

Endometriosis has a complex and multifactorial pathology, and it is considered one of the main causes of infertility nowadays. The angiogenic process, which involves remodeling of extracellular matrix, is crucial for the development of this…

article 2017
Combined Effect of the PGR +331C > T, CYP17A1 -34A > G and CYP19A1 1531G > A Polymorphisms on the Risk of Developing Endometriosis
Revista brasileira de ginecologia e obstetricia : revista da Federacao Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetricia ·doi:10.1055/s-0037-1604097

Purpose To evaluate the magnitude of the association of the polymorphisms of the genes PGR, CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 in the development of endometriosis. Methods This is a retrospective case-control study involving 161 women with endometriosis (…

Combined effect of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor polymorphisms in endometriosis: a case-control study
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2016.10.046

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a multifactorial gynecological disease, whose pathogenesis is crucially dependent on angiogenesis, which is signaled via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR2). We hypothesize that si…

Role of cytochrome P450 2C19 polymorphisms and body mass index in endometriosis: A case–control study
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2017.10.027

ObjectiveTo investigate the contribution of CYP2C19 polymorphisms and body mass index (BMI) in the development of endometriosis.Study designThis is a case-control study that includes 356 women (187 cases and 169 controls) recruited from two…

article 2014
Role of vascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms (-2578C > A, -460 T > C, -1154G > A, +405G > C and +936C > T) in endometriosis: a case–control study with Brazilians
BMC women's health ·doi:10.1186/1472-6874-14-117

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous disease in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to the phenotype. The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of …

A selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor suppresses the growth of endometriosis with an antiangiogenic effect in a rat model
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.11.037

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the antiangiogenic effects of the selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor parecoxib on the growth of endometrial implants in a rat model of peritoneal endometriosis. DESIGN: Pharmacologic interventions in an expe…

article 2010
Higher expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor VEGFR-2 (Flk-1) and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in a rat model of peritoneal endometriosis is similar to cancer diseases
Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR ·doi:10.1186/1756-9966-29-4

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease characterized by the presence of a functional endometrium outside the uterine cavity, causing pelvic pain, dysmenorrheal, and infertility. This disease has been associated to development of diff…

Composition of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and immunodistribution of chondroitin sulfate in deeply infiltrating endometriosis affecting the rectosigmoid
Micron (Oxford, England : 1993) ·doi:10.1016/j.micron.2009.02.005

The composition of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the tissue distribution of chondroitin sulfate (CS) were analyzed in deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of rectosigmoid, using metachromatic staining, and biochemical analysis e…

article 2007
Vascular density and distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor VEGFR-2 (Flk-1) are significantly higher in patients with deeply infiltrating endometriosis affecting the rectum
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.05.076

ObjectiveTo analyze vascular density and immunolocalization of angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor Flk-1 in the proliferative and secretory eutopic human endometrium and in three different sites of endometr…
