In this prospective comparative study, compared with fertile control subjects (n = 12), infertile patients with hydrosalpinx (n = 18) had lower E-cadherin and a trend toward decreased N-cadherin H-scores in the endometrium (3.6 ± 0.6 vs. 2.4 ± 0.8 and 0.57 ± 1.0 vs. 0.52 ± 0.5, respectively). In hydrosalpinx, epithelial N-cadherin expression was discontinuous and disappeared in atrophic patches.
Our studies demonstrate significantly lower expression of relaxin and its receptor in ectopic endometriotic tissues than their expression in eutopic endometrium and in endometrium from normal controls. These data suggest that in normal and eutopic endometrium, relaxin may exert a protective effect against endometriosis.
