This study investigated amphiregulin's effects on equine endometrial fibroblasts from non-fibrotic and fibrotic tissue, finding that AREG-regulated ECM remodeling mechanisms might be disrupted in fibrosis.

Abstract

The role of AREG in the development of fibrosis in the progression of endometrosis in mare remains unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of AREG on fibroblast functional characteristics as well as the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated genes in fibroblast derived from non-fibrotic and fibrotic equine endometria. Our findings suggest that the mechanisms associated with ECM remodeling regulated by AREG in non-fibrotic fibroblasts may be dysregulated in the progression of fibrosis in endometrosis.
