Apoptosis, bcl-2 Expression, and Proliferative Activity in Human Endometrial Stroma and Endometrial Granulated Lymphocytes1

Expression of apoptosis-related proteins bcl-2 and bax in tumor infiltrating dendritic cells in human endometrial cancer

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in apoptosis-related proteins bcl-2 and bax on tumor infiltrating dendritic cells (TIDCs) in human endometrial cancer. Expression of bcl-2 and bax proteins in TIDCs of 52 patients with human endometrial cancer were studied by double-labeling immunehistochemistry and image analysis, respectively. 28 cases of normal endometria served as control...

Endometrial Granulated Lymphocytes in Women Suffering Spontaneous Early Pregnancy Loss

Spontaneous abortion is the most common complication of pregnancy. Several lines of evidence indicate that immunologic effector cells may play a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic repetitive abortions. Leukocytes form a substantial proportion of stromal cells in decidua and the endometrial granulated lymphocytes (eGL) is the predominant decidual leukocyte population in the first trimester o...

Heterogeneity of progesterone receptors A and B expression in human endometrial glands and stroma.

The human progesterone receptor (PR) is expressed as two isoforms, PRA and PRB, which function as ligand-activated transcription factors. In-vitro studies suggest that the isoforms differ functionally and that their relative expression in a target cell may determine the nature and magnitude of response to progesterone. We have shown recently that PRA and PRB are co-expressed in target cells of ...

Adiponectin Effect on The Viability of Human Endometrial Stromal Cells and mRNA Expression of Adiponectin Receptors

Comparison of BAX and Bcl-2 Expression During Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation into Cardiomyocytes and Doxorubicin-induced Apoptosis

Back ground: Although the cell differentiation is an inseparable part of development in multicellular organisms, the regulating molecular pathway of it still is not fully defined. In the other hand, apoptosis is a fundamental physiological process which plays an essential role in a variety of biological events during development. Moreover, recent studies have found that apoptosis shows several ...
