Resveratrol protected against the development of endometriosis by promoting ferroptosis through miR-21-3p/p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway.

Resveratrol is involved in regulating ferroptosis, but its role in Endometriosis (EMS) is not clear. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of ferroptosis and resveratrol intervention in the pathogenesis of EMS cyst. Cell proliferation, migration, and oxidative stress level were analyzed.

Hypoxia Enhances HIF1 Transcription Activity by Upregulating KDM4A and Mediating H3K9me3, Thus Inducing Ferroptosis Resistance in Cervical Cancer Cells.

Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) is a prevalent cancer in women. Hypoxia plays a critical role in CC cell ferroptosis resistance. This study explored the mechanism of hypoxia in CC cell ferroptosis resistance by regulating HIF1/KDM4A/H3K9me3.

Endometrial stromal cells treated by tumor necrosis factor-α stimulate macrophages polarized toward M2 via interleukin-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of endometrial stromal cells (ESC)-derived interleukin (IL)-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 on macrophage polarization in endometriosis.

Methods: Macrophage polarization was measured in eutopic endometrium of control participants ('normal endometrium'), eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis ('eutopic endometrium') and ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients ('ectopic endometrium') by immunohistochemical staining. Expression of IL-6 and MCP-1 were measured in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Serum and Ectopic Endometrium from Women with Endometriosis Modulate Macrophage M1/M2 Polarization via the Smad2/Smad3 Pathway.

Objective: This study investigated the alterations in macrophage polarization in patients with endometriosis as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods: Peritoneal washings, serum samples, and endometrial tissues were collected from endometriosis patients and control subjects. Endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) were isolated from endometrial tissue, and conditioned medium was prepared by treating ESCs with or without various concentrations of interleukin- (IL-) 6, estrogen, or progestin.

[Effect of IL-1β or TNF-α-treated human decidual cells on balance between Th1 and Th2 or Th17 and Treg immunity].

To investigate the effect of IL-1β or TNF-α-treated human decidual cells on the balance between Th1 and Th2 or Th17 and Treg.
 Methods: Human decidual cells were isolated and treated with estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P) for 7 days and then with IL-1β or TNF-α for 24 h. The culture medium was collected to prepare conditioned medium.

Letrozole ovulation induction: an effective option in endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of letrozole on ovulation induction and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Methods: We analyzed totally 1,230 cycles of patients that underwent FET from October 2010 to September 2012. Seven hundred and thirteen cycles of patients with ovulation disorders that underwent FET were randomly assigned to two groups by case control study.

[Expression of RUNX3 in cervical carcinoma and its clinical significance].

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of runt-related transcription factor 3(RUNX3) in the tumorgenesis and progression of cervical carcinoma. METHODS The immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of RUNX3 protein in 25 cases of normal cervix, 34 intraepithelia neoplasia (CIN), and 48 cervical carcinomas. SYBR Green I chimeric fluorescence Real-time PCR was applied to detect the expression of RUNX3 mRNA in 10 cases of normal cervix, 24 CIN, and 30 cervical carcinomas.

[Inhibitory effects of human papilloma virus 18 E6 gene in HeLa cell transfected with shRNA].

Objective: To investigate the inhibition of HPV18E6 gene in HeLa cell transfected with plasmid expressing human papilloma virus 18 E6 (HPV18E6) short hairpin RNA (shRNA).

Methods: We synthesized two HPV18E6 shRNA frames and sub-cloned them into pSUPER which can express shRNA in mammalian cells to construct pE6-1shRNA and pE6-2shRNA which were mutant in E6 shRNA frame. The pE6-1shRNA, pE6-2shRNA and pcDNA3.
