Endometriosis is a significant reproductive health issue with pain being the primaru symptom. The complex pain in endometriosis involves the activation of macrophages, inflammatory activators such as NF-kB, neural growth factors (NGF), cytokines, adhesive molecules (ICAM-1), and mediators (PGE2) which they are stimulate sensory nerve fibers and produce nociceptive signals. This study is aim for investigate the effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) administration on the expression of NF-kB, NGF, and PGE2 concentration in a mouse model of endometriosis. Thirty-three mices were randomly divided into 3 groups consist non-endometriosis (P0), endometriosis without treatment (P1), and endometriosis with MSC administration (P2). The results showed MSC administration significantly reduced the expression of NF-kB by found scoring 2 groups (P1: 6.96 ± 0.13 and P2: 4.446 ± 0.228) and NGF (P1: 7.118 ± 0.629 and P2: 4.927 ± 1.187) also PGE2 (P1:1005.862 ± 176.656 and P2: 891.218 ± 54.031. In onclusion, this study demonstrates that MSC administration can able reduce the expression of NF-kB and NGF, but not to PGE2. The suggestion we can said is the MSC have potential therapeutic value in managing endometriosis-asssosciated pain by modulating inflammatory and neurotrophic factors.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Pain in endometriosis, which is driven by inflammatory factors like NF-kB, NGF, cytokines, and PGE2, stimulating sensory nerve fibers and producing nociceptive signals.
- Investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) administration on the expression of NF-kB, NGF, and PGE2 in a mouse model of endometriosis.
- Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) administration was shown to reduce the expression of key inflammatory and neurotrophic factors—NF-kB and NGF—in a mouse model of endometriosis.
- Limited effect on reducing PGE2 concentration. These findings suggest that MSCs may have therapeutic potential for managing pain associated with endometriosis by modulating inflammatory and neurotrophic pathways.
