Molecular Mechanisms of Treatment Resistance in Endometriosis: The Role of Progesterone–Hox Gene Interactions
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
HOX genes, encoding homeodomain transcription factors, are dynamically expressed in endometrium, where they are necessary for endometrial growth, differentiation, and implantation. In human endometrium, the expression of HOXA10 and HOXA11 is driven by sex steroids, with peak expression occurring at time of implantation in response to rising progesterone levels. However, the maximal HOXA10 and HOXA11 expression...
