Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der epithelialen mesenchymalen Transition und Angiogenese in der Pathogenese der Endometriose
This study links endometriosis pathogenesis to angiogenesis via COX-2 and VEGF co-expression and to invasive growth through epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers Twist, Snail, Slug, and N-cadherin in endometriotic lesions.

This dissertation investigates the roles of angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Immunohistochemical and RT-PCR analyses of peritoneal, ovarian, and rectovaginal lesions revealed a significant positive correlation between COX-2 and VEGF-A expression, suggesting COX-2 drives angiogenic processes similar to those seen in tumors. Furthermore, high expression rates of EMT markers such as Twist, Snail, Slug, and N-cadherin indicate that EMT may facilitate the invasive growth and metastatic potential characteristic of this benign condition. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining molecular mechanisms like angiogenesis and EMT within endometriotic lesions.
