TNF and endometriosis: Based on the proinflammatory nature of the disease, combined with the published data [11, 13, 14, 17, 33, 34, 39] and our comparative nanostring analysis of miRNAs (unpublished) between the stromal cells of women with (EESC) and without endometriosis (NESC), we aimed to analyze whether upregulation of TNFα expression in the eutopic stromal cells of endometriotic patients induces the dysregulation of miRNAs linked to NF-kB signaling pathways thus contributing to the pathogenesis of the disease.
