title: Lipopolysaccharide promoted proliferation and invasion of endometriotic stromal cells via induction of cyclooxygenase-2 expression.
abstract: Lipopolysaccharide-enhanced cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production were compared in endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) and eutopic endometrial stromal cells. Lipopolysaccharide promotes the proliferation and invasion of ESCs via up-regulation of COX-2 and PGE2 expression, suggesting that pelvic inflammation may promote the progression of endometriosis.
