Progesterone decreases bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 7 expression and BMP7 inhibits decidualization and proliferation in endometrial stromal cells
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dep455

BACKGROUND: Regulation of decidualization is decisive for proper implantation and the establishment of pregnancy. Recent studies have suggested that several bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play physiological roles in reproduction. In the…

Interleukin-4 stimulates proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells
The American Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.2353/ajpath.2008.071044

Several lines of evidence indicate that the Th2 immune response is associated with endometriosis. Although an increased concentration of interleukin (IL)-4, a typical Th2 cytokine, has been reported in endometriotic tissues, the implication…

Tunicamycin enhances the apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in endometriotic stromal cells
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den385

BACKGROUND: The increase in concentration of osteoprotegerin, an antagonist of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis may interfere with TRAIL-induced apoptosis i…

Interleukin (IL)-17A stimulates IL-8 secretion, cyclooxygensase-2 expression, and cell proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/en.2007-0749

IL-17A is secreted from Th17 cells, a discovery leading to revision of the mechanism underlying the role of Th1/Th2 in the immune response. Strong evidence suggests that immune responses associated with inflammation are involved in the path…
