Abstract

Human uterine leiomyomas (ULMs) are the most common neoplasms of women. Many genes are dysregulated in ULMs and some of this dysregulation may be due to abnormal expression of micro‐RNAs (miRNAs). In this study, 55 ULMs and matched myometrium were collected from 41 patients for microarray‐based global miRNA expression analysis. Of 206 miRNAs examined, 45 miRNAs were significantly up‐ or down‐regulated in ULMs in comparison to the matched myometrium (P < 0.001). The top five dysregulated miRNAs in ULMs are the let‐7 family, miR‐21, miR‐23b, miR‐29b, and miR‐197. Four polycistronic clusters of miRNAs were either up‐ or down‐regulated, but not in a mixed pattern, indicative of coordinated regulation of these miRNAs. Significance analysis revealed that subsets of miRNAs were strongly associated with tumor sizes and race. By prediction analysis we identified some important tumorigenic genes previously identified in ULMs that may be targeted by the dysregulated miRNAs. HMGA2 was identified as one of target genes of the let‐7 family of miRNAs and has been found to be suppressed by let‐7 in vitro.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
