PURPOSE: The study was designed to investigate whether estrogen regulates cell migration through cell polarity signaling and contributes to adenomyosis development. METHODS: In vitro study, Ishikawa cells received different treatments, Wes…
BACKGROUND: Low-grade chronic inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the development of chronic inflammation leading to obesity-a…
Differentiation of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) into secretory decidualized cells (dESCs) is essential for embryo implantation. Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecological disease that causes infertility. However, whether adenomyosis a…
STUDY QUESTION: Does Scribble (SCRIB) contribute to aberrant decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESC) in adenomyosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: SCRIB knockdown impairs decidualization of ESC by decreasing Fork-head box O1A (FOXO1) expressi…
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor celecoxib on the development of uterine adenomyosis in mice. ICR neonatal mice were first exposed to tamoxifen to establish a mouse m…
AIM: Previous studies have revealed that loss of cell apical-basal polarity contributed to the early stages of tumorigenesis. Adenomyosis involves a down-growth and aberrant implantation of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium. This …
Despite its prevalence and the severity of symptoms, little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of adenomyosis. In previous studies, the protein expression level of the polarity protein Scribble in the eutopic endometrium of patien…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by the existence of endometrium in the myometrium. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is not fully understood. P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) is an effector of small Rho GTPases inclu…

Chronic inflammation is a well-known epidemiologic factor of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC), but has an uncertain role in prognosis. We developed a systemic inflammation score (SIS) based on preoperative serum albumin and neutrophil-t…
BACKGROUND: Despite enormous efforts to dissect the role of endometriosis in ovarian cancer development, the difference in prognosis between ovarian cancer patients with or without endometriosis remains elusive. The purpose of this study is…
Generally, most of ovarian cancer cannot be detected until large scale and remote metastasis occurs, which is the major cause of high mortality in ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is urgent to discover metastasis-related biomarkers for the det…
