Apigenin suppressed tumor necrosis factor α-induced cell proliferation and prostaglandin E2 expression via the attenuation of nuclear factor κB pathway in endometriotic stromal cells in vitro. Apigenin reduced the mitogenic activity and inflammatory reaction in endometriotic stromal cells.

Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is a difficult gynecological disease to cure. Frizzled-7 (FZD7) has been shown to be associated with the development of EMS, but its specific mechanism remains unclarified. This study aims to explore the role of FZD7 in EMS.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting development of targeted therapies. Here, we performed single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling of ectopic lesions and eutopic endometrium in endometriosis.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification have recently been suggested as potential functional modulators in ovarian endometriosis, however, the function and mechanism of m6A-modified lncRNA in ovarian endometriosis remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 expression was significantly elevated in ovarian endometriosis tissue and primary ectopic endometrial stromal cells. The expression of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1, which has m6A modifications, was highly positively correlated with demethylase Alk B homologous protein 5 (ALKBH5) expression and autophagy.

Background: Endometriosis patients exhibit a cancer-like glycolytic phenotype. The pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) axis plays important roles in glycolysis-related diseases, but its role in patients with endometrial polyps (EPs) combined with endometriosis has not been validated.
Methods: EP samples were collected from patients with and without endometriosis.

Introduction: Macranthoidin B is one of the primary and unique triterpenoid saponin metabolites from Hand. -Mazz, which is used to treat endometriosis (EMS) in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the effect of macranthoidin B remains unknown in EMS.
