Pharmacological blockage of the CXCR4-CXCL12 axis in endometriosis leads to contrasting effects in proliferation, migration, and invasion†
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1093/biolre/iox152

High levels of inflammatory factors including chemokines have been reported in peritoneal fluid and blood of women with endometriosis. CXCL12 mediates its action by interaction with its specific receptor, CXCR4, reported to be elevated in h…

Abstract B06: Understanding of the ovarian endometriosis and gene expression functions in neoplastic transformation
·doi:10.1158/1538-7445.chromepi15-b06

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic condition that is known to have transformation potential. Women with ovarian endometriosis have twice the risk for developing ovarian cancer of the endometrioid or clear cell types.…

Analysis of PTEN and ARID1A expression in Endometriosis disease using RT‐PCR assay
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.29.1_supplement.665.15

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine musculature and endometrial lining. Regulation of gene expression is a flexible, yet stable, mechanism that maintains a cellular memory that co…

Dysregulation of Lysyl Oxidase Expression in Lesions and Endometrium of Women With Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115585144
article 2014
CXCR4‐CXCL12 axis in proliferation, migration, and invasion of endometriosis (LB850)
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.28.1_supplement.lb850

Endometriosis a benign gynaecological disease, associated with chronic inflammation and increased levels of chemokines. Lesions are composed of endometrial stroma and glands localized outside the uterus. In a rat model of endometriosis, we …

H4K20me3 and H3K79me3 epigenetic changes in Endometriosis and endometrial tissues (LB844)
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.28.1_supplement.lb844

The significance of epigenetic changes in the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis is being progressively recognized. However, the function of lysine‐histone epigenetic modifications and furthermore, their role in the pathology of thi…

Women with endometriosis have a higher DNA repair capacity and diminished breast cancer risk.
Molecular cancer biology ·doi:10.9777/mcb.2013.10005

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer (BC) and endometriosis are important reproductive health diseases for women. Although endometriosis is not a malignant condition, some of its characteristics mimic that of a malignancy. Endometriosis is associate…

CXCL12α induces proliferation and migration of endometrial epithelial cells expressing CXCR4
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.26.1_supplement.1095.5

Endometriosis defined as the presence of endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterus, is associated with chronic pain, inflammation, and increased levels of chemokines. We reported high CXCR4 mRNA levels in endometriotic lesions in a r…

article 2012
Elucidation of CXCR4‐CXCL12 mediated angiogenesis mechanism in endometriosis
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.26.1_supplement.lb173

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of the endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, primarily on the pelvic peritoneum, and ovaries. The main symptoms are chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and infertility. High CXC…

article 2012
Validation of Epigenetic Markers in Endometriosis
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.26.1_supplement.lb78

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that affects 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years, cause incapacitating pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine ca…
