Aberrant DNA methylation suppresses expression of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) in ovarian endometrioma
6 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In ovarian endometriomas (OE), the expression statuses of various steroid hormone receptors are altered compared with their expression statuses in eutopic endometrium (EE). For example, in OE, the expressions of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), which encodes ERα, and progesterone receptor (PGR) are downregulated, while the expression of ESR2, which encodes ERβ, is upregulated. The causes of these changes...
