BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Although this condition is benign, it has cancer-like features. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common RNA modificati…

Abstract Endometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease appearing with pelvic pain, rising dysmenorrhoea and infertility seriously impacting on 10% of reproductive‐age females. This research attempts to demonstrate the function and molecu…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease associated with pain and infertility. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ZEB1 in endometriosis and its role in 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal tran…

AIM: Lipoxin A4 (LXA4 ) can function as an endogenous 'breaking signal' in inflammation and plays an important role in the progression of endometriosis. The proteome responses to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or LXA4 in human endometriotic stromal…

ObjectiveEpithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential for embryogenesis, fibrosis, and tumor metastasis. Aberrant EMT phenomenon has been reported in endometriotic tissues of patients with endometriosis (EM). In this study, we furth…

ObjectiveTo study the role of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) in endometriosis.DesignMolecular analysis in human samples and primary human endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs).SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Forty-nine premenopausal women (30 patients…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the change in proinflammatory cytokines in the pathologic processes of endometriosis in mice. DESIGN: A dynamic study on a murine model of endometriosis. SETTING: Medical school. ANIMAL(S): Female BALB/c mice. INTE…

BACKGROUND: p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), a regulator of inflammation, may play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). We studied the effect of SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, on the development of EM in a mous…

Endometriosis, an oestrogen-dependent disorder, is related to inflammation, p38 Mitogen activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK) can be activated by sex hormone and inflammatory factors, which plays an important role in many cellular reactions …

ObjectiveTo examine the pro-resolution actions of 15-epi-lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) on endometriotic lesions, on the concentrations and activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in murine endometriosis.DesignProspective, vehicle-…

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in ectopic and eutopic endometrium in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: The expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in …
