Inducers of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in endometriosis: potential implications for macrophages and follicle maturation
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2012.10.013

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent chronic inflammation and thus a condition of stress. Though the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) has been shown to be up-regulated in ovarian endometriosis, insights involved in inducing this…

Glycodelin A is a prognostic marker to predict poor outcome in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients.
BMC research notes ·doi:10.1186/1756-0500-5-551

BackgroundGlycodelin is a cell surface glycoprotein offering a unique gender specific carbohydrate configuration. Sialylated carbohydrate structures, which are unusual for mammals, characterize Glycodelin isolated from amniotic fluid (Glyco…

Human chorionic gonadotropin and its relation to grade, stage and patient survival in ovarian cancer.
BMC cancer ·doi:10.1186/1471-2407-12-2

BackgroundAn influence of gonadotropins (hCG) on the development of ovarian cancer has been discussed. Therefore, we quantified serum hCG levels in patients with benign and malignant ovarian tumors and the hCG expression in ovarian cancer t…

Mucin-1 and its relation to grade, stage and survival in ovarian carcinoma patients.
BMC cancer ·doi:10.1186/1471-2407-12-600

BackgroundMucin-1 is known to be over-expressed by various human carcinomas and is shed into the circulation where it can be detected in patient's serum by specific anti-Mucin-1 antibodies, such as the tumour marker assays CA 15-3 and CA 27…

The G-Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) is Expressed in Normal Human Ovaries and is Upregulated in Ovarian Endometriosis and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Involving the Ovary
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719112446085

Estrogens play a crucial role in maintaining ovarian function. Deregulation of estrogen signals is associated with fertility-impairing disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER…

The diagnostic accuracy of two human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) testing systems in combination with CA125 in the differential diagnosis of ovarian masses
Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine ·doi:10.1515/cclm.2011.709

BACKGROUND: Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is the best known single tumor marker for ovarian cancer (OC). We investigated whether the additional information of the human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) improves diagnostic accuracy. METHODS: We retro…

Afamin and apolipoprotein A-IV: novel protein markers for ovarian cancer
Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology ·doi:10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-08-0653

Comparative proteomics identified the vitamin E-binding plasma protein afamin as a potential novel tumor marker for ovarian cancer. In addition, we observed in a previous small study decreased plasma concentrations of apolipoprotein A-IV (a…
