Inhibition of Adhesion, Proliferation, and Invasion of Primary Endometriosis and Endometrial Stromal and Ovarian Carcinoma Cells by a Nonhyaluronan Adhesion Barrier Gel

Abstract: Endometriosis is a chronic disease of women in the reproductive age, defined as endometrial cells growing outside of the uterine cavity and associated with relapses. Relapses are hypothesized to correlate with incomplete surgical excision or result from nonrandom implantation of new endometrial implants in adjacent peritoneum. Thus, surgical excision could lead to free endometriotic cells or tissue residues, which readhere, grow, and invade into recurrent lesions. Barrier agents are frequently used to prevent … Show more

“…In addition to the uneven relationship between growth factors and apoptosis, ectopic endometrial cells are very resistant to apoptosis. Altered cells of the peritoneum enable better efficiency of proteins that promote proliferation and reduced function of apoptotic proteins ( Renner et al ., 2015 ). These are just some of the processes that occur during the development of endometriosis.…”

“…After an incubation time of 72 h, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. All invaded cells were counted in >20 optical fields (Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany) per well and represented as number of invaded cells per cm 2 according to 26,27 .…”

“…Cell invasion assays were performed according to previous reports [ 26 , 27 ]. Calf skin type I collagen G (Serva Electrophoresis GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) and rat tail type I collagen R (Biochrom AG, Berlin, Germany) were mixed at a ratio of 1:1 plus 0.1 volume of sodium bicarbonate (23 mg/ml), 0.1 volume of 10 × DMEM, and then the solution was neutralized with sodium hydroxide.…”
