The synergistic interplay between upregulated inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1,2,6,8,17,18, and TNF-α), along with key changes in critical molecular pathways associated with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance (e.g., PI3K/AKT/MAPK, and Wnt/β-catenin), in addition to aberrant sex steroid hormone signaling (e.g., CYP19A1, COX-2, PGE2, HOXA10, 11βHSD2), promotes deleterious changes within the endometrial microenvironment. The gene discussed is HOXA10; the disease is Insulin resistance.
