High expression of angiopoietin-2 and endostatin in endometriosis / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of Angiopoietin-2(ANG-2) and Endostatin (ENS) in patho genesis and development of endometriosis. Methods Twenty-five endometriosis cases and 24 controls were enrolled. ANG-2 and ENS in endometrium were detected by Immunohistochemistry. The concentrations of ANG-2 and ENS in peri-toneal fluid were measured with enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay. Results In the EMs group, ANG-2 positive rate in eutopic endometrium was significantly higher than that of ectopic endometrium. The ANG-2 positive rate in ectopic endometrium was significantly higher than that of control group; in EMs group, the ENS positive rate in ec-topic endometrium was significantly higher than that in eutopic endometrium. The ENS positive rate in eutopic endo-metrium was significantly higher than that in control group. There was no significant difference of ANG-2 or ENS between stage Ⅰ～Ⅱand stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ. In peritoneal fluid, ANG-2 and ENS concentration and ratio of ANG-2/ ENS in endometriosis were significantly higher than that in controls. Conclusion The effect of angiopoietin-2 and endostatin in angiogenesis of endometriosis are important play a role in pathogenesis and development of the endo-metriosis.
