Abstract

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition associated with infertility. We have previously demonstrated dysregulation of several molecular markers of uterine receptivity in a baboon model of induced endometriosis. Specifically, reduced levels of endometrial progesterone receptor (PR) and progesterone (P)-regulated genes, HOXA10 and FKBP52 were observed during the window of uterine receptivity in baboons with endometriosis, suggesting that this disease results in the development of an endometrial P resistance. In this study calcitonin (CALC) and CALC-modulated proteins, E-cadherin (E-Cad) and tissue Transglutaminase (tTgase-2) were evaluated in the eutopic endometrium of endometriotic animals throughout disease progression. Endometriosis was induced in normal cycling baboons by intraperitoneal inoculation of menstrual endometrium. Eutopic and ectopic endometrium was harvested consecutively from each animal at 1, 6 and 15 months of disease, during the window of receptivity. Control eutopic endometrium was s...
