CXCL8 enhances proliferation and growth and reduces apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells in an autocrine manner via a CXCR1-triggered PTEN/AKT signal pathway
Human Reproduction, 05/07/2012
Li MQ et al. – This study suggests that CXCL8 and CXCR1 are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by up–regulating proliferation and growth and restricting apoptosis in ESCs by activating the PTEN/Akt pathway and mediating the expression of survivin and Bcl–2.
