Expression Pattern of Metalloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix-Metalloproteinases in Cycling Human Endometrium1
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
The cyclic growth, differentiation, and cell death of endometrium represents the most dynamic example of steroid-driven tissue turnover in human adults. Key effectors in these processes-matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors (TIMPs)-are regulated by ovarian steroids and, locally, by cytokines. We used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the expression of both...
