OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of peripheral blood serum from women with endometriosis to induce monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion by monocytes and the putative role of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) system in endometriosis-associated monocyte activation. METHODS Cultures of U937 monocytic cells exposed to serum from normal women (control group) or women with endometriosis. METHODS Gynecology clinic and human reproduction research laboratory. METHODS Seventy-nine women with endometriosis and 38 control women with no evidence of endometriosis at laparoscopy. METHODS Peripheral blood obtained a few days before laparoscopy. METHODS MCP-1 secretion in the culture medium and serum concentrations of soluble IL-1 receptor type II (sIL-1RII), IL-1beta, and IL-1alpha by ELISA or by enzyme immunometric assay. RESULTS Serum concentrations of sIL-1RII were significantly lower in women with stage I-II endometriosis than in control women, whereas serum concentrations of IL-1beta and IL-1alpha were comparable between the two groups. The serum of women with endometriosis induced higher secretion of MCP-1 by U937 cells than that of control women, particularly in the initial stages of endometriosis (stages I-II), and recombinant IL-1RII (rIL-1RII) significantly blocked that secretion. CONCLUSIONS These findings point toward a deficiency in the mechanisms involved in the down-regulation of IL-1 actions at the systemic level and reveal sIL-1RII as a key factor involved in that process.

D004715 Endometriosis A condition in which functional endometrial tissue is present outside the UTERUS. It is often confined to the PELVIS involving the OVARY, the ligaments, cul-de-sac, and the uterovesical peritoneum. Endometrioma,Endometriomas,Endometrioses
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
