M2 Macrophages are Major Mediators of Germline Risk of Endometriosis and Explain Pleiotropy With Comorbid Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genes associated with endometriosis risk are highly expressed in M2 macrophages, particularly ligands IL1A and IL1B. Endometrial‐type epithelium and stroma are likely recipients of these ligands. While IL1B treatment disturbs epithelial organization, blockage of the signaling results in a dose‐dependent decrease in spontanesous and evoked pain, reduces

Estrogen Receptor Positive/Progesterone Receptor Negative Breast Carcinomas: A Subgroup Deserves Particular Interest

Bezmiâlem Science, 2015
Objective:Breast carcinomas positive for the estrogen receptor (ER+) but negative for the progesterone receptor (PR−) have unfavorable prognostic features and are resistant to tamoxifen therapy. The goal of this study was to highlight the significance of

Investigating Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in the Lacrimal Sacs of Individuals With and Without Chronic Dacryocystitis

Beyoglu Eye Journal, 2019
INTRODUCTION[|]Chronic dacryocystitis is usually seen in middle-aged or older women, suggesting that decreased estrogen and progesterone serum levels may be a causative factor in the disease pathology.

The classical progesterone receptor mediates the rapid reduction of fallopian tube ciliary beat frequency by progesterone

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2013
BackgroundThe transport of gametes as well as the zygote is facilitated by motile cilia lining the inside of the fallopian tube. Progesterone reduces the ciliary beat frequency within 30 minutes in both cows and mice.

Progesterone and breast cancer.

Endocrine reviews, 2020
Synthetic progestogens (progestins) have been linked to increased breast cancer risk; however, the role of endogenous progesterone in breast physiology and carcinogenesis is less clearly defined.

Steroid Receptor Coactivator‐1 Drives Tumor‐Associated Macrophage Reprogramming by Mediating MMP12 Transcription in Pancreatic Cancer Perineural Invasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Steroid receptor coactivator‐1 (SRC‐1) reprograms tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) via signal transducer and activator of transcription 1(STAT1)‐mediated matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP12) transcription to drive perineural invasion (PNI) in pancreatic cancer.

Progesterone in the Brain: Hormone, Neurosteroid and Neuroprotectant

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Progesterone has a broad spectrum of actions in the brain. Among these, the neuroprotective effects are well documented. Progesterone neural effects are mediated by multiple signaling pathways involving binding to specific receptors (intracellular ...

Strategic Design of Aptamer‐Guided Aggregation‐Induced Emission Nanoparticles for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents MF3Ec‐TBPP nanoparticles for targeted photodynamic therapy of Luminal A breast cancer. These nanoparticles combine an AIE‐based photosensitizer with an aptamer. Tests show they effectively inhibit tumor growth while protecting healthy tissue via aggregation and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, indicating potential for improved ...

Progestins Inhibit Interleukin-1β-Induced Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 and Interleukin 8 Expression via the Glucocorticoid Receptor in Primary Human Amnion Mesenchymal Cells

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Preterm premature rupture of membranes is a leading cause of preterm births. Cytokine induced matrix metalloproteinase1 and interleukin 8 production from amnion mesenchymal cells may contribute to fetal membrane weakening and rupture.
