Serum response factor is essential for endometrial function and prevention of inflammatory fibrosis.

Pregnancy requires a supportive uterine environment facilitated by steroid hormone-regulated differentiation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into decidual cells and tight control of inflammation. Serum response factor (SRF) is a widely …

Integrated bioinformatics analysis and machine learning identifies FZD4, SRPX2, and COL8A1 as angiogenesis hub genes in endometriosis.

This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened …

Integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies shared EndMT-related gene signatures in endometriosis and recurrent miscarriage.

Endometriosis (EMs) and recurrent miscarriage (RM) represent major reproductive health challenges. This study investigates the involvement of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in these conditions through integrative bioinformatics analysis, focusing on the …

The molecular role of RE1 silencing transcription factor in uterine diseases: is there potential for targeted therapeutic development?

Role of Transcription Factor, LIM Homeobox 9 (LHX9) in Inflammatory Response by PGE2 and Thrombin in SERPINA1-Silencing Endometrial Stromal Cells.

Endometriosis is hypothesized to result from retrograde menstruation where cell debris including endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) travel through the fallopian tubes. This chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by inflammatory and …

HOXC4 promotes proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells via the SLIT2-ROBO1 axis.

Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating …

How transcription factors regulate apoptosis in endometriosis (Review).

Endometriosis (EM) is a common chronic gynaecological disease that affects 10% of women of reproductive age globally. EM is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine …

Epithelial characteristics of ovarian clear cell carcinoma at single-cell resolution.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the …

Insights into the Molecular Mechanisms and Signaling Pathways of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in the Pathophysiology of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine corpus, often clinically presenting with pain and/or infertility. Ectopic lesions exhibit features characteristic …

Membrane Progesterone Receptor Beta Regulates the Decidualization of Endometrial Stromal Cells in Women with Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, dysuria, and infertility. The latter has been related to implantation …
