Hypothesis/aims of study. Kisspeptin (KISS1) is encoded by KISS1 gene and its interaction with KISS1 receptor (KISS1R) suppresses metastasis and regulates release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which promotes secretion of estradiol and progesterone. Steroid hormone synthesis is regulated by KISS1/KISS1R and its activation can be involved in hormone dependent disorders such as endometriosis. KISS1 expression has been shown to inhibit the activity of a number of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In this study, we aimed to isolate endometrial cell cultures from patients with and without endometriosis; to evaluate KISS1, KISS1R, MMP-2, and MMP-9 protein expression by immunocytochemistry; and to perform culture tests: the scratch assay and the analysis of cell migration activity.
Results. It was found that the endometrial cell cultures expressed KISS1, KISS1R, MMP-2, and MMP-9 proteins, with the cell migration ability enhanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
