MicroRNAs associated with adenomyosis promote endometrial epithelial cell migration via MMP-2 and MMP-9 upregulation†.

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the myometrium, causing chronic pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding. Although dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in stromal cells …

Effects of hormonal treatment on the expression of collagen type I, matrix metalloproteinase-1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, and hormonal treatment is the most common treatment. Both deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometrioma (OV) are characterized by dense surrounding fibrotic tissue. However, …

MMP2/TIMP2 ratio as a measurable indicator for differentiating diffuse adenomyosis, ovarian endometriosis, and their co-existence.

Adenomyosis and endometriosis, two common estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disorders usually present with overlapping symptoms, such as pain and infertility. These two conditions often co-exist and are associated with poor reproductive …

High levels of a comprehensive set of matrix metalloproteinases in endometriotic lesions: validating the key role of cellular senescence in endometriosis pathogenesis.

This study reveals elevated levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in endometriotic lesions, potentially reflecting a senescenceassociated secretory phenotype. No corresponding increase was observed in peritoneal fluid, possibly due to …

Suppression of endometriosis by miRNA-34a via inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2: An alternative pathway to impede invasion.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave proteins of extracellular matrix thus facilitating cellular invasion and cancer progression. High MMP-2 activity is frequently reported in several diseases including endometriosis and cancer. Endometriosis, though …

Analysis of inflammatory biomarkers IL-6, vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloproteinases-9 expression in endometriosis.

Special attention has been paid to genetic mechanisms that might have a significant impact on the context of the risk of developing endometriosis, in recent years. The study aimed to …

Kisspeptin and Endometriosis-Is There a Link?

This article presents a narrative review that explores the potential link between kisspeptin-a key regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis-and the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Kisspeptin plays a significant role in regulating …

Insights Into the Regulation of Gynecological Inflammation-Mediated Malignancy by Metalloproteinases.

Gynecological illness accounts for around 4.5% of the global disease burden, which is higher than other key global health concerns such as malaria (1.04%), TB (1.9%), ischemic heart disease (2.2%), …
