Mathematical modelling of macrophage and natural killer cell immune response during early stages of peritoneal endometriosis lesion onset.

The immune system is hypothesized to contribute to the onset of endometriosis lesions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying its role are not yet known. We introduce a novel compartmental model …

TET3 is a common epigenetic immunomodulator of pathogenic macrophages.

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …

C57BL/6J mice best recapitulate fibrosis and inflammatory pathophysiology in syngeneic mouse model of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (ENDO), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 190 million women globally, is characterized by fibrosis, a feature often challenging to replicate in murine models. To identify an optimal syngeneic …

Harnessing the CD16-PI3Kγ axis in peritoneal CD14hi macrophages: A transformative approach to endometriosis management.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease progression. …

The role of macrophage in endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer.

Design of a peripherally biased NPSR1 antagonist for neuropeptide S induced inflammation.

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a potent agonist for the GPCR receptor NPSR1, implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation. NPSR1 gene polymorphisms have been linked to asthma, inflammatory …

Activated eosinophil plays a role in promoting fibrosis in endometriotic lesion.

The fibrosis mechanism in endometriosis is not elucidated. We investigated the role of eosinophil in fibrosis of endometriosis. The endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) were subjected …

Harmine inhibits oxidative phosphorylation, thus regulating the polarization of macrophages mediated by extracellular adenosine in endometriosis.

Can harmine mitigate endometriosis by modulating oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) suppression and macrophage polarization?

Divergent Immune-Metabolic Profiles in Endometriosis and Ovarian Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Endometriosis and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGS-OC) share common features within the peritoneal immune microenvironment, yet they exhibit divergent clinical outcomes. This study aimed to dissect the immune-metabolic landscape of …

Disease Severity- and Hormonal Status-Dependent Alterations of EGF and MIF in the Serum of Endometriosis Patients.

Endometriosis is the extrauterine engraftment of endometrium-like tissue, causing chronic pain. Complex sensory-vascular-immune interactions, including growth factors, cytokines, and neuropeptides, are implicated in its pathophysiology, but the mechanisms remain unknown. …
