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...

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). Most individual mRNA samples showed high expression of <i>RelA</i>, <i>NF-κB1</i>, and <i>MCP-1</i> gene transcripts and the destructive type of endometrosis, simultaneously.
