Evodiamine suppresses endometriosis development induced by early EBV exposure through inhibition of ERβ.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized as a prevalent gynecological inflammatory disorder marked by the existence of endometrial tissues situated beyond the uterus. This condition leads to persistent pelvic pain and may contribute to infertility. In this investigation, we explored the potential mechanism underlying the development of endometriosis (EMS) triggered by transient exposure to either latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in a mouse model. Additionally, we examined the potential inhibitory effect of evodiamine (EDM) on EMS. Methods: Immortalized human endometrial stromal cells (HESC) or epithelial cells (HEEC) were transiently exposed to either EBV or LMP1. The presence of evodiamine (EDM) was assessed for its impact on estrogen re
