Normal endometrial cell cultures were epithelioid, while endometriosis cell cultures more frequently had mixed populations, and progestin treatment showed no clear differences in endometriosis cell growth or morphology.

The paper compared the cultured cell characteristics of endometrial tissue and cells from a focus of endometriosis obtained from 35 women, with cultures developed for both tissue types and, in some cases, evaluated before and after treatment with synthetic progestins. Normal endometrial cultures were reported to consist more often of epithelioid cells, while cultures from endometriosis foci more frequently showed mixed cell populations. In internal endometriosis, cultures assessed before and after treatment with infecudin showed no clear differences in cell growth and morphology, and endometriosis-affected cells exhibited low mitotic activity that made karyotyping difficult. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it directly develops and compares culture characteristics of endometrial versus endometriosis cells and examines effects of progestin and infecudin treatment on those cultures.

Abstract Cultural characteristics of cells from the endometrium and a focus of endometriosis from 35 women before and, in some cases, after treatment with synthetic progestins were compared. Methods of culturing cells of the endometrium and focus of endometriosis were developed. A culture of normal endometrial cells was shown to consist of epithelioid cells, whereas the culture of cells from the focus of endometriosis more frequently had a mixed cell population. Investigation of cultures from a focus of internal endometriosis before and after treatment with infecudin showed no clear difference in cell growth and morphology. Cells from tissue affected by endometriosis showed low mitotic activity and this made the study of the karyotype difficult. The data described are the first relating to culture of cells from a focus of endometriosis. Access this article We’re sorry, something doesn't seem to be working properly.
