Abstract
Objective: To estimate the concentration and the biologic activity ofmonocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis. Design: A case control study was conducted. Setting: Gynecology clinic and Laboratories of endocrinology of reproduction and immunology. Patients: Women presenting for infertility, pelvic pain, or tubal ligation in which endometriosis was diagnosed at laparoscopy (n = 36) and normal fertile controls presenting for tubal ligation (n = 21). Interventions: Collection of PF via laparoscopy. Main Outcome Measures: Determination of PF concentrations ofMCP-1 by an ELISA and evaluation of its monocyte chemotactic activityusing a human hystiocytic cell line (U937). Results: The concentration of MCP-1 (median, range of values) was increased in the PF of endometriosis patients (283, 0 to 1,930 pg/mL; conversion factor to SI unit,0.115) compared with the control group (140, 0 to 435 pg/mL). The most significant elevation of MCP-1 levels was found in the stage II of the disease (371, 200 to 1,930 pg/mL). An increased chemotactic activity for monocytes (mean number of migrating cells/mm(2) +/- SD) also wasfound in stages I (1,460 +/- 312) and II (1,541 +/- 336) of the disease when compared with fertile controls (393 +/- 56). Forty percent to 53% of this activity was inhibited in the presence of an antibody specific to MCP-1. Conclusions: These observations are consistent with previous data indicating increased leukocyte chemotaxis in the PF of patients with endometriosis and suggest that MCP-1 may play a relevant role in the peritoneal inflammatory reaction associated with the disease.
