This study investigated the role of Twist in endometriosis by examining Twist and N-cadherin expression in lesions and primary cell cultures.

The paper investigates the expression of the transcription factor Twist and the adhesion molecule N-cadherin in endometriosis, motivated by the idea that EMT-like mechanisms may underlie invasive and potentially metastatic behavior. Using immunohistochemistry on 38 endometriosis lesions and RT-PCR on 7 primary endometriosis cell cultures, the authors found Twist expression in all rectovaginal, peritoneal, and ovarian lesions, and in 60% of adenomyosis uteri cases, while N-cadherin was detected in all peritoneal, ovarian, and adenomyosis samples and in 89% of rectovaginal lesions. A limitation explicitly implied by the approach is that expression data do not directly demonstrate functional EMT/invasiveness mechanisms. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically examines Twist and N-cadherin expression as potential drivers of endometriosis invasiveness, with adenomyosis included as a related tissue comparison.
