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

Objective: 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 analyze the expression levels of three inflammatory biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor, and matrix metalloproteinases-9, in the increased incidence of endometriosis.

Methods: The material for genetic testing was tissue slices embedded in paraffin blocks from these patients with endometriosis (I-II) ( = 24), endometriosis (III-IV) ( = 24), and the control group ( = 30) in Lianyungang maternal and child health hospital from January 2020 to December 2023.
