The enrichment of Arg1ILC2s and ILCregs facilitates the progression of endometriosis: A preliminary study.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understood. This study examines several groups of ILCs in the peripheral blood (PB), peritoneal fluid (PF) and endometrium of patients with EMS via flow cytometry.

Involvement of impaired CD8 mucosal-associated invariant T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Immune dysfunction is one of the mechanisms to promote polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Various immune cells have been reported to be involved in the development of PCOS. Meanwhile, the disturbance of metabolism is closely related to PCOS.

Impaired myeloid-derived suppressor cells are associated with recurrent implantation failure: A case-control study.

Background: Studies have reported that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) contribute to maintain pregnancy. The aim of this case-control study was to test whether there is a dysregulation of peripheral MDSCs in recurrent implantation failure (RIF).

Methods: 26 RIF patients and 30 controls were recruited.

The combined action of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells promotes the progression of cervical cancer.

One of the most common promoters of the initiation and growth of the tumor is an immune disturbance. Numerous immune cells and inflammatory factors play a role in the tumor-immune microenvironment. However, few studies have investigated the correlation between these immunological events and clinical consequences in cervical cancer.

Reduction of myeloid derived suppressor cells by inhibiting Notch pathway prevents the progression of endometriosis in mice model.

Growing evidence suggested that immune dysregulation is one of the crucial drivers to the development of endometriosis (EMS). Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) represent a heterogeneous subset of immature myeloid cells, and have been reported to promote the onset and progression of EMS. Notch signaling pathway played a major role in immunological reactions.

CD4/CD8 mucosa-associated invariant T cells foster the development of endometriosis: a pilot study.

Background: Immune dysregulation is one of the mechanisms to promote endometriosis (EMS). Various T cell subpopulations have been reported to play different roles in the development of EMS. The mucosa-associated invariant T cell (MAIT) is an important T cell subset in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases.

CCR5/CCR5 ligand-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells are related to the progression of endometriosis.

Research Question: Immunological disorders have been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis. Several recent studies have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) drive the progression of endometriosis. The aim of this case-control study was to test whether CCR5 and its ligands drive MDSC accumulation and play a role in the progression of endometriosis.
