This study investigated the expression patterns of adhesion molecules ICAM and VCAM, along with matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-11, within 151 endometriosis lesion samples using immunohistochemistry. The results indicated that these markers are primarily expressed in epithelial cells rather than stromal tissue, with specific variations such as high ICAM levels in intestinal lesions and predominant MMP-9 expression in ovarian cases. Although significant differences in expression were not statistically observed across different lesion locations, the findings suggest distinct regulatory mechanisms for each entity. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically analyzing molecular markers involved in the establishment and maintenance of endometriotic lesions.
