Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) was characterized by endometrial fibrosis, leading primarily to hypomenorrhea, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is now recognized as a key factor in the development o…
INTRODUCTION: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) manifest as endometrial fibrosis, often causing infertility or recurrent miscarriage; however, their pathogenesis remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the role of Dickkopf WNT signalin…
Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are mainly derived from fibrous tissue formation following endometrial damage. The aim of the present study was to assess whether fibrosis markers, estrogen receptor (ER)α and the stromal derived factor (SDF)‑1…
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women of reproductive age. IUA, particularlyin moderate to severe forms, accounts for a large percentage of infertility cases. Clinically, the first‑line treatm…
OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether fibrotic markers and endometrial stem cell markers were abnormal expressed in endometrium of intrauterine adhesions and a female mouse model for intrauterine adhesions. …
BACKGROUND: Importin13 (IPO13) is a novel potential marker of corneal epithelial progenitor cells. We investigated the expression and localization of IPO13 in endometrial, endometriotic and endometrial carcinoma tissue. MATERIAL/METHODS: I…
BACKGROUND: It was unclear whether chronic endometrial ischemia contributed to the pathogenesis of thin endometrium and was associated with decreased endometrial stem/progenitor cell. Thus, we explored the role of chronic endometrial ischem…
BACKGROUND: To investigate the expression levels of importin13 (IPO13), c-kit, CD146, telomerase, caspase-3, bcl-2 and bax in endometrial polyps (EPs). MATERIAL/METHODS: We detected the mRNA expression levels of IPO13, c-kit, bcl-2 and bax…
