This study utilized a nude mouse model to investigate the temporal dynamics of angiogenesis within human endometrial implants. The researchers employed PECAM-1 as an endothelial cell marker to track vascular changes and found that revascularization of these lesions occurs between five and eight days post-implantation. Key observations included the disappearance of native graft vessels, which coincided with the invasion of murine vessels into the implant interface and stroma. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the vascularization mechanisms of pelvic endometriotic lesions in an animal model.

Abstract

Our study demonstrates that PECAM-1 is a reliable endothelial cell marker to evaluate the role of angiogenesis in the nude mouse model. It also indicates that revascularization of human endometrial implants occurs between 5 and 8 days after implantation and involves the disappearance of native graft vessels, coinciding with the invasion of the interface and then the stroma by murine vessels.
