Molecular and hormonal regulation of angiogenesis in proliferative endometrium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiogenesis is the process of formation of new blood vessels from the blood vessels that already exist. This process is an essential factor in each menstrual cycle. Neovascularisation or formation of new blood vessel is the process occurs often in endometrium during every menstrual cycle. Abnormal angiogenesis may have a profound effect on the pathogenesis of endometrial carcinoma and abnormal uterine bleeding. 1

P-171: Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors In Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a disease which is defined by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Literatures show that VEGF by interaction with their receptors, Flt-1 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 or VEGFR-1) and Flk-1/KDR (fetal liver kinase/ kinase-insert domain receptor or VEGFR-2) is related to pathogenesis of endometriosis. The purpose of this study was to eval...
متن کاملCyclic changes and hormonal regulation of annexin IV mRNA and protein in human endometrium.
Annexin IV (ANXA4) belongs to a ubiquitous family of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. ANXA4 has been shown to be involved in a range of physiological functions including ion channel regulation, exocytosis and Ca(2+)-dependent signal transduction. The aims of this study were to fully characterize ANXA4 mRNA and protein in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle and to investi...
متن کاملFocal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) Involvement in Human Endometrial Remodeling During the Menstrual Cycle
Background: Endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women. Reports have shown that, in a variety of cell types, processes such as proliferation, signaling complex formation and extra cellular matrix remodeling require a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The present study has focused on the expression pattern of FAK in human endometrium during the men...
متن کاملSoluble factors from human endometrium promote angiogenesis and regulate the endothelial cell transcriptome.
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis and vascular remodeling play critical roles in the cyclical growth and regression of endometrium. They also appear to play roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Supernatants were collected from cultured endometrium isolated from women with and without endometriosis. These supernatants induced endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis in ...
متن کاملCycle dependent expression of endometrial metallothionein.
OBJECTIVES Molecular changes observed in endometrium with respect to menstrual cycle changes seem to be crucial for the reproductive function. Accumulation of cytotoxic cells increases the exposure of endometrial cells to apoptosis. Protection against apoptosis may be reached by endometrial cells by self molecular regulation. Metallothionein was suggested to participate in this process. The aim...
