Equine Endometrosis Pathological Features: Are They Dependent on NF-κB Signaling Pathway?

Endometrosis is an important mares’ disease which considerably decreases their fertility. As classic endometrial classification methods might be insufficient for tissue pathological evaluation, further categorization into active/inactive and destructive/non-destructive types was developed by Hoffman...

Equine Endometrosis Pathological Features: Are They Dependent on NF-κB Signaling Pathway?
description Endometrosis is an important mares’ disease which considerably decreases their fertility. As classic endometrial classification methods might be insufficient for tissue pathological evaluation, further categorization into active/inactive and destructive/non-destructive types was developed by Hoffmann and others. This study aimed to compare NF-κB pathway genes transcription among histopathological types of endometrosis, following Hoffmann and co-authors’ classification. Endometrial samples, collected postmortem from cyclic mares (<i>n</i> = 100) in estrus or diestrus, were classified histologically and used for gene transcription assessment. Gene transcription of NF-κB subunits (<i>RelA</i>, <i>NF-κB1</i>, <i>NF-κB2</i>), pro-inflammatory molecules (<i>MCP-1</i>, <i>IL-6</i>), and hyaluronan synthases (<i>HAS 1</i>, <i>HAS 2</i>, <i>HAS 3</i>) was compared among endometrosis types (active, non-active, destructive, non-destructive).
