Phagocyte function of peripheral neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes in endometriosis before and after surgery

Luca Lukacs et al.

Summary: In women with endometriosis, phagocyte function of peripheral neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes decreased significantly before surgery compared to healthy controls, but showed significant improvement 7 days after surgery. Postoperative results indicate that immunosuppressive factors may be reduced or eliminated in women with endometriosis.

Reduced frequency of perforin-positive CD8+T cells in menstrual effluent of endometriosis patients

Timo Schmitz et al.

Summary: The study found that CD8+ T cells obtained from menstrual effluent of endometriosis patients have lower perforin positivity, indicating reduced cytotoxic potential. These cells are distinct from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and likely originate from the endometrium.

Macrophages inhibit and enhance endometriosis depending on their origin

Chloe Hogg et al.

Summary: Macrophages play an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, with lesion-resident macrophages derived from eutopic endometrial tissue, infiltrating large peritoneal macrophages, and monocytes. Continuous recruitment of monocytes and expansion of CCR2+ large peritoneal macrophages are triggered by endometriosis. Depletion of eutopic endometrial macrophages results in smaller lesions, while inhibiting monocyte recruitment reduces macrophage populations and increases lesion number. Reprogramming the ontogeny of peritoneal macrophages decreases lesion development. The study suggests a model where endometrial macrophages promote endometriosis while newly recruited monocyte-derived macrophages, possibly in large peritoneal macrophage form, have antiendometriotic effects.

Concomitant autoimmunity may be a predictor of more severe stages of endometriosis

Vanni Valeria Stella et al.

Summary: The study suggests that women with endometriosis who also have autoimmune diseases are more likely to develop severe stage IV endometriosis, even after controlling for relevant confounders. The presence of autoimmune disturbances was found to be a significant predictor of the severity of endometriosis.
