Endometrial Stem Cells and Endometriosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
On this basis, endometrial stem cells (EnSCs), characterized by higher abilities for proliferation, differentiation, fast angiogenesis during menstruation and immune tolerance for embryo during pregnancy, have been considered as a valuable source of stem cells (Gargett, Chan et al. 2007; Meng, Ichim et al. 2007). Several researches have demonstrated presence of highly pleuripotent mesenchymal stem cells in endometrium by differentiation potency to various cell types such as, insulin producer cells (Li, Chen et al. 2010), osteoblasts (Ai, Mehrabani. 2010) , odontoblasts (Ai, Tabatabaei et al. 2009), neurons (Wolff, Gao et al. 2011) (Ai, Tabatabaei et al. 2009) and Myoblast (Ai, Tabatabaei et al. 2009). These findings may open up new opportunities to use endometrial stem cells in tissue engineering and cell therapy (Ai , Mehrabani. 2009).

Effect of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation on Nerve Fibers of A Rat Model of Endometriosis
Background Endometriosis is a common, benign, oestrogen-dependent, chronic gynaecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Some researchers have identified nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions in women with endometriosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted interest for their possible use for both cell and gene therapies because of their capacity for self-renewal ...
متن کاملPotential role of endometrial stem/progenitor cells in the pathogenesis of early-onset endometriosis.
The pathogenesis of early-onset endometriosis has recently been revisited, sparked by the discovery of endometrial stem/progenitor cells and their possible role in endometriosis, and because maternal pregnancy hormone withdrawal following delivery induces uterine bleeding in the neonate. The neonatal uterus has a large cervix to corpus ratio which is functionally blocked with mucous, supporting...

Background Endometriosis is a gynecological disease defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which caused by various factors. Recent evidences support the presence of endometrial stem cells and their possible involvement in endometriosis. Related studies mainly focus on stemness-related genes, and pluripotency markers may play a role in the etiology of endometri...

Background Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity and is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. We have preliminary evidence that in the presence of a 3-dimensional (3-D) fibrin matrix, human endometrial glands, stroma, and neovascularization can develop in vitro, mimicking the earliest stages of endometriosis. The aim of th...
متن کاملmiRNA-15a-5p regulates VEGFA in endometrial mesenchymal stem cells and contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
OBJECTIVE miRNAs have been recently reported to contribute to the etiology of endometriosis in stem cells. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this investigation is to explore the expression of miR-15a-5p and VEGFA in endometrial samples from patients with or without endometriosis. And then examine the regulation by miR-15a-5p on the expression of VEGFA. PATIENTS AND METHODS He...
