    Polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA control region are associated to endometriosis
    (2018) ANDRES, Marina Paula; CARDENA, Mari Maki Siria Godoy; FRIDMAN, Cintia; PODGAEC, Sergio
    Purpose Polymorphisms in the control region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can affect generation of reactive oxygen species and impact in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study investigated the association of mtDNA polymorphisms with endometriosis. Methods Patients were divided in two groups: endometriosis (n = 90) and control (n = 92). Inclusion criteria were as follows: women between 18 and 50 years, with histological diagnosis and surgical staging of endometriosis (endometriosis group) or undergoing gynecological surgery for tubal ligation, leiomyoma, or ovarian cysts, with no evidence of endometriosis (control group). DNA extraction was performed from peripheral blood. Sanger sequencing of mtDNA control region was performed, and polymorphisms were determined comparing the sequences obtained with the Cambridge Reference Sequence. Results The frequency of polymorphisms T16217C (14.4 and 5.4% of endometriosis and control group, respectively; p = 0.049) and G499A (13.3 vs. 4.3%; p = 0.038) was higher in the endometriosis group, while T146C (32.6 vs. 18.9%; p = 0.042) and 573.2C (5.6 vs. 29.3%; p < 0.001) were lower. No difference was observed in haplogroups between groups. Conclusion mtDNA polymorphisms T16217C and G499A were associated with endometriosis, while T416C and 573.2C were shown to be associated with an absence of disease.

    Treg and NK cells related cytokines are associated with deep rectosigmoid endometriosis and clinical symptoms related to the disease
    (2018) GUEUVOGHLANIAN-SILVA, Barbara Yasmin; BELLELIS, Patrick; BARBEIRO, Denise Frediani; HERNANDES, Camila; PODGAEC, Sergio
    The aim of this study was to evaluate Treg and NK cells related cytokines in deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions and its relationship with clinical symptoms of the disease. mRNA expression of Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGFB), Interleukin (IL)10, Interferon Gamma (IFNG), IL7, and IL15 was analyzed by Real-Time PCR in eutopic endometrium and rectosigmoid lesions from 11 women with deep infiltrating endometriosis and in eutopic endometrium from 11 healthy women. IL10, IFNG, and IL7 expression was significantly higher in endometriotic bowel lesions than in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis. IL10 and TGFB expression was significantly higher in endometriotic bowel lesions than in eutopic endometrium from healthy women. In addition, TGFB and IL15 levels correlated positively with deep dyspareunia and cyclic dyschezia, respectively, while IL7 levels correlated negatively with dysmenorrhea. Deep infiltrating rectosigmoid endometriosis displays alterations in Treg and NK cells related cytokine, and TGFB, IL7 and IL15 expression is related with dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and cyclic dyschezia, respectively, in patients with the disease.
