The cell to cell interaction between peritoneal macrophages and endometrial stromal cells via Stat3 activation in human endometriosis
Peritoneal macrophages and endometrial stromal cells interact via Stat3 activation, leading to M2 macrophage polarization, increased cytokine production, and endometrial stromal cell proliferation in endometriosis.

This study investigated how peritoneal macrophages and endometrial stromal cells interact in human endometriosis by analyzing macrophage activation in ascites/peritoneal fluid from patients and testing macrophage–stromal co-culture. The authors focused on signaling molecules and soluble factors involved in macrophage differentiation and stromal cell activation, particularly Stat3. They found that M2 macrophages were significantly increased in peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients, and that in co-culture M2 macrophages and endometrial stromal cells showed increased Stat3 activation, increased production of soluble factors such as GM-CSF, and promotion of stromal cell proliferation. This paper directly addresses endometriosis by characterizing peritoneal M2 macrophage–endometrial stromal cell cell-to-cell interactions mediated through Stat3 signaling.
