Abstract:
Objective:To study the expressions of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (iCAM-1) in patients with endometriosis and to explore its effect on the onset of endometriosis.Methods:VCAM-1 mRNA and ICAM-1 mRNA were detected by real-time PCR method in 15 specimens of eutopic endometrium and 15 specimens of ectopic endometrium from patients with endometriosis(EMT group)and 15 specimens of endometrium from patients without endometriosis(control group).VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 protein were detected by Western-Blot method.Soluble VCAM-1 and soluble ICAM-1 in 44 serum of patients with endometriosis(EMT group) and 28 serum of patients without endometriosis(control group) were tested by ELISA.Meanwhile the correlation of expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were analyzed in different groups.Results:①The expressions of VCAM-1 mRNA and ICAM-1 mRNA in ectopic endometrium were significantly higher than those of eutopic endometrium and the controls(P <0.01).There was no significant different mRNA expression between eutopic group and control group(P>0.05).②The protein expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in eutopic group were significantly higher than those of ectopic group and the control group(P <0.01).The protein expression of VCAM-1 in eutopic group were higher than those in the controls group(P<0.01).There was no significant different protein expression of ICAM-1 between eutopic group and the controls group(P >0.05).③The concentration of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in serum from patients with EMT were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).The concentration of slCAM-1 in serum from patients with EMT in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ (P < 0.01).④There was no significant correlation in the expression of mRNA,protein and serum between VCAM 1 and ICAM-1 in ectopic group and eutopic group(P > 0.05).Conclusions:The abnormal expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in ectopic endometrium may play an important role in the development of endometriosis.The signaling pathways and protein expression way may be different between VCAM 1 and ICAM 1 in endometriosis.
