Differential expression of c-kit, E-cadherin, and beta-catenin in endometriosis and normal endometrial tissue
Increased c-kit expression, along with reduced beta-catenin expression in endometriosis samples, suggests that these molecules contribute to endometriosis pathogenesis. However, because no significant difference was found in E-cadherin expression, a definitive conclusion cannot be made regarding the involvement of E-cadherin in endometriosis development.
