Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship of Fas expression in peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells and endometriosis. Methods A total of 55 patients with histopathologically diagnosed endometriosis after operation were enrolled as endometriosis group, and 52 patients without endometriosis were enrolled as control group. The peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells were isolated, the expression levels of Fas mRNA were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), and the percentage of Fas expression cells were quantitatively detected by flow cytometry. Results Fas mRNA and the percentage of Fas expression cells were significantly higher in endometriosis group than those in control group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance between stage Ⅰ-Ⅱand stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P>0.05). Conclusions The abnormal Fas expression in peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells may play an important role in endometriosis.
