Role of neutrophils in the immune microenvironment of endometriosis
Abstract
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common systemic estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease in gynaecology. Available evidence indicates that immune factors exert extremely important functions in the pathogenesis of EMs. As a key cell group in the immune environment, neutrophils have been found to be implicated in EMs progression in various studies. In this paper, the function and mechanism of neutrophils in the immune microenvironment of EMs are summarized, providing new research ideas for the etiology and pathogenesis of EMs.
L'endométriose (EM) est une maladie inflammatoire chronique systémique œstrogéno-dépendante fréquente en gynécologie. Les données disponibles indiquent que les facteurs immunitaires jouent un rôle crucial dans la pathogenèse de l'EM. En tant que groupe cellulaire clé de l'environnement immunitaire, les neutrophiles sont impliqués dans la progression de l'EM dans diverses études. Cet article résume la fonction et le mécanisme des neutrophiles dans le microenvironnement immunitaire de l'EM, offrant ainsi de nouvelles pistes de recherche pour l'étiologie et la pathogenèse de l'EM..
