Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction determination of interleukin (IL)-8 receptor messenger RNA expression in endometrial and endometriotic stromal cells. (A), Ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel analysis of the amplified products. Lanes 1 and 3 are endometrial stromal cells; lanes 2 and 4 are endometriotic stromal cells. HaeIII-digested X174 size markers were used in the left lane (lane M). (B), The specificity of polymerase chain reaction products was confirmed by hybridization of oligonucleotide probe. Lane 1 is endometrial stromal cells, and lane 2 is endometriotic stromal cells. Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) was used as a positive control.

4. Figure 3
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction revealed tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-I and -II messenger RNA expression in endometriotic cells. The U937 cell lines (lymphoma) were used as a positive control for tumor necrosis factor receptors. Lane 1 is U937 cells, lane 2 is endometriotic stromal cells, and lane 3 is reverse transcriptase (−). Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) was used as a positive control (data not shown).

The role of peritoneal fluid and cytokines in the pathophysiology of endometriosis-associated infertility. Accumulated data suggested that substances found in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis contribute to infertility by impairing embryo development, egg penetration by sperm, and sperm function.
