Effects of hormones on uPA, PAI‐1 and suPAR from cultured endometrial and ovarian endometriotic stromal cells

Abstract

This study shows that stromal cells from endometrium and endometriotic tissues release the urokinase plasminogen activator, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and urokinase plasminogen inhibitor-1. The release is partly hormonally regulated, but differently in endometriotic than in endometrial cells.
