Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyse Myeloid dendritic cell type I(MDC1) in the peritoneal cavity. In endmetriosis patient, CD206 expression is significantly higher in endometriosis patients, though other type C lectin such as CLEC1, CLEC2, Dectin-1, Dectin-2 is not different.
Next, we blocked the expression of CD206 by D-mannan on dendritic cell. Endometriotic cell phagocytosis by dendritic cell was supressed by d-mannan. From our experiment, CD206 on dendritic cell in peritoneal cavity of endometriosis patients progress phagocytosis of endometriotic cells in retrograde menstruation, thus progress the endometriosis by secration of inflamattory cytokines.
