SLC25A1-Mediated Cholesterol Accumulation Promotes Endometriosis Progression by Enhancing Endometrial Stromal Cell Proliferation, Invasion, and M2 Macrophage Polarization.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …

Transcriptional coregulator ZMIZ1 modulates estrogen responses that are essential for healthy endometrial function.

Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a …

Establishment of immortalized ovarian stromal cell lines using Sendai virus vectors: a platform for studying tumor-stroma interactions and carcinogenesis.

We aimed to generate immortalized stromal cell lines from the ovarian and fallopian tube tissues of a single patient using Sendai virus (SeV) vectors and identify candidate stromal genes involved …

MicroRNAs associated with adenomyosis promote endometrial epithelial cell migration via MMP-2 and MMP-9 upregulation†.

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the myometrium, causing chronic pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding. Although dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in stromal cells …

Reproductive tract microbiota dysbiosis in ovarian endometrioma and adenomyosis: multi-site 16S rRNA profiling and functional impact of key bacterial species on human endometrial stromal cells.

Identified endoplasmic reticulum stress-related molecular cluster and immune characterization in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), a response involved in regulating protein homeostasis, has been linked to its pathogenesis. To identify …

The Interaction of PELP1 With FHL2 Contributes to Ectopic Endometrial Stromal Cell Proliferation, Angiogenesis, and Inflammation in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMS), a multifactorial and chronic benign gynecological disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth, remains poorly understood in its pathogenesis. Proline, glutamic acid, leucine-rich protein 1 (PELP1), implicated in various …

Defects in the DNA Damage Response of Patient-derived Endometriosis Stromal Cells.

With each menstrual cycle, endometrial cells rapidly proliferate and decidualize in preparation for pregnancy. Such rapid proliferation generates replication stress and results in DNA damage with irreparable cells undergoing senescence. …

A Dual-Targeted Liposomal Nanosystem for Co-Delivery of Estrogen Receptor β Antagonist and Disulfiram for the Non-Hormonal Treatment of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …

Serum response factor is essential for endometrial function and prevention of inflammatory fibrosis.

Pregnancy requires a supportive uterine environment facilitated by steroid hormone-regulated differentiation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into decidual cells and tight control of inflammation. Serum response factor (SRF) is a widely …
