Nerve fibres in ovarian endometriotic lesions in women with ovarian endometriosis

Abstract: PGP9.5-immunoactive nerve fibres in ovarian endometriotic lesions may be involved in the pathophysiology of pain generation and pelvic adhesion formation in women with ovarian endometriosis.

“…3 Afferent sensory fibers and proinflammatory mediators are correlated with endometriosis pain, which can be considered an inflammatory neuropathic pain. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] However, excision of endometriotic lesions and/or anti-inflammatory drugs cannot relieve pain symptoms completely. What is more, a high probability of recurrence and serious side effects might occur, 1,[12][13][14][15] thereby leading to the dilemma in its clinical treatment.…”

“…Dies konnte jedoch in peritonealen Läsionen nicht reproduziert werden, da die NGF-Expression unter der hormonellen Therapie unbeeinflusst blieb; die Nervenfaserdichte war jedoch vermindert [29]. Ein weiterer Faktor in diesem komplexen Geschehen ist der Nachweis von EM-assoziierten Makrophagen, die mit hoher Affinität zu EM-assoziierten Nervenfasern in peritonealen Läsionen vorliegen [41]. Durch die Interaktionen von EM-Lä-sionen, Nervenfasern und Zytokin freisetzenden Immunzellen wie Makrophagen und Mastzellen werden komplexe Zusammenhänge vermutet, die neurogene inflammatorische Prozesse in Gang setzen oder diese unterhalten [35].…”
