BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major limitation of assisted reproductive technology, which is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be involved in…
Little is known about the genetic alterations characteristic of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Our aim was to identify targetable genomic alterations in this type of cancer. Forty-two OCCC formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tiss…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Mitochondrial homeostasis is implicated in the development and progression of endometriosis through poorly defined mechanisms. Mst1 is the major growth suppressor related to cancer migration, apoptosis and proliferation. Ho…
BACKGROUND: The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. Accumulating evidence suggests that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) and transcription factor (TF) expression may be involved in the pathogenesis and development of endo…
The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to identify a candidate pathogenic gene, as well as potential biomarkers of endometriosis using messenger RNA (mRNA) sequencing (mRNA-seq). T…
Cancer metastasis is a malignant process by which tumor cells migrate from their primary site of origin to other organs. It is the main cause of poor prognosis in cancer patients. Angiogenesis is the process of generating new blood capillar…
In order to determine the effect of B7‑H4 on the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the expression levels of B7‑H4 were evaluated using reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry in HL‑7702 and Huh7…
The PvuII (C > T), XbaI (A > G) and (TA)n polymorphisms of ESR1 gene are potentially associated with susceptibility to endometriosis. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate comprehensively the associations between endometriosis and ESR1 …
PURPOSE: Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) polymorphisms were implicated in endometriosis risk, but individual published studies showed inconclusive results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to clarify the effect of CYP1A1 polymorphisms on en…
To investigate the influence of the interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms on the susceptibility of endometriosis, we examined the association by performing a meta-analysis. The PubMed, Embase, HuGE Navigator and CNKI were searched to i…
BACKGROUND: Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that increases aromatase expression in some human cancer cell lines. The mechanism involves the inhibition of phosphodiesterase and subsequent elevation of cAMP. METHODS: We compared ste…
