OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene promoter region -1031T/C and its combination with interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene promoter region -634C/G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with the genetic…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of polymorphisms of arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-1661G/A with glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) -313A/G and the susceptibility to endometriosis in southern Han Chinese. METHODS: Total of 432 e…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 17 (CYP17) and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα ) genes with the risk of endometriosis among southern Chinese women. METHODS: Two SNPs rs743572 (CY…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of interleukin 6 gene (IL-6) promoter region 634C/G (rs1800796) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the genetic susceptibility to endometriosis (Ems) in south Han Chinese women. METHODS: A ca…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between the arylhydrocarbon receptor gene (AhR) 1661G/A or arylhydrocarbon nuclear translocatorgene (ARNT) 567G/C polymorphism and endometriosis in southern Han Chinese women. METHODS: The polymorphism…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the polymorphism in +252 site of tumor necrosis factor-beta(TNF-beta) gene in patients with or without endometriosis, to evaluate the levels of TNF-alpha and TNF-beta in the serum with or without endometriosis, to ex…

OBJECTIVE: To study the polymorphism of +252 site in intron 1 of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-beta gene in relation to genetic susceptibility of endometriosis. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential use of integrin av beta3 (Lm609) monoclonal antibody against ectopic lesion and microvessel angiogenesis of human endometriosis xenografts in SCID mice. METHODS: The endometrial tissues from endometriosi…

OBJECTIVE: To study the function of heparanase gene in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: In situ hybridization method was used to examine the heparanase mRNA expression in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endo…

OBJECTIVE: To study the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor (c-Met) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry method was used to examine HGF mRNA and protein expressio…

Scatter factor (hepatocyte growth factor, SF/HGF) is a multifunctional polypeptide growth factor that plays an important role in tumor proliferation, angiogenesis and invasiveness. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of HGF in…
