Ovarian endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by extensive tissue remodeling and fibrosis, which significantly impacts female reproductive health. This study demonstrates that ectopic endometrium (Ect) in patients wi…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Despite extensive research, its molecular pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we conducted an integrated …

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and altered energy metabolism, but the specific mechanisms involved remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Si…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease with the feature of estrogen dependence and inflammation. The function of autophagy and the correlation with inflammation were not yet revealed. METHODS: Autophagosomes were detec…

Endometriosis is an inflammation-dependent gynecologic disorder. Increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression plays an important role in the development and progression of endometriosis. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is an endogenous anti-inflammation…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease associated with pain and infertility. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ZEB1 in endometriosis and its role in 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal tran…

PROBLEM: The role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) actin filament associated protein 1 antisense RNA1 (AFAP1-AS1) in the etiology of endometriosis is unknown. METHOD OF STUDY: Expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker…

OBJECTIVE: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential for embryogenesis, fibrosis, and tumor metastasis. Aberrant EMT phenomenon has been reported in endometriotic tissues of patients with endometriosis (EM). In this study, we fur…
