Regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in uterine endometrial cells of patients with and without endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/s0301-2115(00)00415-2

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether alterations in the secretion and regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors are present in uterine endometrial cells from endometriosis patients. STUDY DESIGN: In an in vitro study, …

article 1999
Integrin-mediated adhesion of uterine endometrial cells from endometriosis patients to extracellular matrix proteins is enhanced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-1 (IL-1)
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/s0301-2115(99)00114-1
article 1998
Extracellular matrix remodelling in the endometrium and its possible relevance to the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/4.5.730

Essential features of endometrial physiology involve the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the pathogenesis of endometriosis, interactions of endometriosis cells with ECM can be postulated. Two systems of secreted proteases in the endometrium,…

article 1998
In vitro expression of soluble and cell surface‐associated CD44 on endometrial cells from women with and without endometriosis
European journal of clinical investigation ·doi:10.1046/j.1365-2362.1998.00396.x

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynaecological diseases, and attachment of retrogradely shed viable endometrial cells is considered to be important in its development. CD44 is a multifunctional adhesion molecule t…

Endometrial integrin expression is independent of estrogen or progestin treatment in vitro
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)81400-8

OBJECTIVE: To examine the regulation of endometrial integrin expression by estrogens and progestins in vitro. DESIGN: Immunocytochemical study. SETTING: Academic research unit. PATIENT(S): Twenty-five regularly cycling women without endo…

article 1997
O-120 Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) mRNA is upregulated by promegestone in endometrial cells from endometriosis patients
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)90752-4
article 1997
O-230. Overexpression of a soluble form of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor in cultured endometrial cells from women with endometriosis
·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.suppl_2.114
other 1997
Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor is over-expressed in uterine endometrium from women with endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/3.12.1101

Extracellular matrix degradation by secreted proteases, e.g. plasmin, is essential for endometrial functions such as blastocyst implantation and menstruation. We investigated whether the expression of plasmin(ogen) activating or inhibiting …
