The analysis of single-cell sequencing data revealed the pivotal role of peritoneal macrophages in the development of EM. We noted significant CR enrichment and synthesis in peritoneal macrophages of patients with EM compared with women without EM. To further investigate the mechanisms of CR in EM, we performed RNA sequencing and\n                      <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      experiments. We found that CR reprograms M2 polarization by enhancing matrix metalloproteinases and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in angiogenesis, fibrogenesis, cell adhesion and tissue repair. The coculture of CR-treated macrophages promoted the migration and fibrogenesis of endometrial stromal cells, as well as the angiogenesis of HUVECs\n                      <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      . In summary, this article reveals that CR might polarize M2 macrophages, promoting the initiation, fibrosis and angiogenesis of ectopic endometrial lesions, ultimately resulting in the development of EM. These findings underscore the crucial immunomodulatory role of CR in the pathogenesis of EM, offering a promising target for therapeutic intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/rep-24-0278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]],"date-time":"2024-12-16T09:38:23Z","timestamp":1734341903000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Creatine promotes endometriosis progression by inducing M2 polarization of peritoneal macrophages"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"169","author":[{"given":"Si-Man","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology, Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Kai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology, Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Qian","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Reproductive Health Research, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chun-Yan","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology, Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9276-0722","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ming-Qing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology, Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Female Reproductive Endocrine Related Diseases, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2512-9703","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiao-Yong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology, Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Female Reproductive Endocrine Related Diseases, Fudan University, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Biomed Res Int","first-page":"1","article-title":"Pathophysiology and immune dysfunction in endometriosis","volume":"2015","author":"Ahn SH","year":"2015","unstructured":"Ahn SH, Monsanto SP, Miller C, et al. 2015 Pathophysiology and immune dysfunction in endometriosis.
