BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition often associated with infertility. The role of granzymes as cytotoxic proteases and immune regulators in endometriosis remains poorly understood. This study evaluated serum and peritoneal fluid levels of granzymes A, B, and K in women with endometriosis and their links to disease severity.
METHODOLOGY: An observational study of 87 infertile women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy, including 44 with endometriosis and 43 benign gynecologic controls. Granzyme levels were measured using ELISA and correlated with clinical parameters.
RESULTS: Serum GrB and GrK were significantly higher in women with endometriosis, particularly in advanced stages. Peritoneal fluid revealed reduced GrA and increased GrB in the endometriosis group. Serum GrB and GrK levels correlated positively with rASRM adhesion and endometriosis severity scores, while GrB levels correlated inversely with the Endometriosis Infertility Index (EFI) score, indicating their role in predicting infertility. Combining serum GrB and GrK effectively differentiated endometriosis from control, highlighting their diagnostic potential.
CONCLUSION: Elevated serum GrB and GrK levels suggest their involvement in endometriosis pathogenesis and infertility. These findings highlight granzymes as promising biomarkers for disease severity, diagnosis, and targeted therapy in endometriosis management.
