| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Accumulating evidence suggests that various epigenetic aberrations play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Our findings suggest that an epigenetically suppressed tumor suppressor gene is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by creating the proliferative, antiapoptotic,and
other disease-specific characteristics of endometriosis. The results also suggest that histone deacetylase inhibitors are promising agents for the treatment of endometriosis.
