Differential effects of interferon-alpha and -beta on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor by eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2004.03.029

Interferon (IFN)-beta, not IFN-alpha, suppresses vascular endothelial growth factor secretion in endometriotic cyst stromal cells. It was suggested that IFN-beta may be more suitable than IFN-alpha as an anti-endometriotic agent.

Down-regulation of interleukin-1 receptor type 1 expression causes the dysregulated expression of CXC chemokines in endometriotic stromal cells: a possible mechanism for the altered immunological functions in endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2004-0354

To evaluate the involvement of chemokines in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we investigated the expression of CXC chemokines in cultured ovarian endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSC), endometrial stromal cells with endometriosis (ESCw…

Endometriotic cells are resistant to interferon-gamma-induced cell growth inhibition and apoptosis: a possible mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gah133

In order to evaluate the involvement of cell proliferation and apoptosis in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we investigated the effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on cell growth inhibition and apoptosis of cultured ovarian endometri…

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from adenomyosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000010139

In spite of many references to carcinoma arising from endometriosis at extrauterine sites, there are few documented cases of carcinoma developing in association with adenomyosis. We present 2 rare cases of adenocarcinoma arising from adenom…
