Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To induce apoptosis of endometriotic cells of patients with endometriosis. DESIGN:To demonstrate that polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue directly inhibits cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis. SETTING:University hospital infertility center. PATIENT(S):Twelve women who visited the center for infertility therapy. INTERVENTION(S):Polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue was applied into primary endometriotic cells; the manipulated cells were collected 1-4 days after polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Primary endometriotic cell cultures from eutopic endometriotic tissue were established. The effect of the novel biological glue, polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue A, on endometrial cells in vitro was examined. The different stages of apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry with fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate (FITC)-annexin V and propidium iodide staining. RESULT(S):The growth inhibitory effects of polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue A on endometrial cells were found to be dose-response and time dependent. Less than 15% viability was detected in cultures containing 2,000 microg of polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue A after 4 days of treatment. Induced apoptosis and caspase activity were revealed. The caspase-3 activity increased 2.2-fold with 4 days of culture with 2,000 microg of polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue A. CONCLUSION(S):This is the first study to demonstrate that polyglycolic acid/chitosan glue directly inhibits cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis, thus suggesting that this new biological glue may be useful for endometriosis therapy.
