STUDY QUESTION: Is Nometastatic gene 23-H1 (NME1, also known as nm23-H1) involved in regulating the biological behavior of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and does it participate in the pathogenesis of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: NME1…
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the role and mechanism of CCL2 in regulating the biological functions of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). DESIGN: The CCL2 effect on the viability, proliferation, and invasion in the eutopic ESCs from endometriosis. …
BACKGROUND: Chemokine CXCL8 (also known as IL-8) has been identified as a potential regulator of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), but it is unclear how CXCL8 regulates the survival of ESCs in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: We…
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyses essential amino acid tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of IDO1 expression on the biological characterist…
