Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) which regulate gene expression stability displayed an aberrant expression profile in ectopic endometrium (ECE) as compared to eutopic (EUE) and normal endometrium (NE). We assessed the expression of miR-17-5p, miR-23a, miR-23b and miR-542-3p, their predicted target genes, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2, and influence of ovarian steroids on their expression in endometrial stromal (ESC) and glandular epithelial cells (GEC). The results indicated a lower expression of miR-23b and miR-542-3p and higher level of miR-17-5p in paired ECE and EUE as compared with NE. These levels were elevated and inversely correlated with the level of expression of their respective target genes in ECE. The expression of these miRNAs and genes was differentially regulated by 17beta- estradiol, medroxyprogesterone acetate, ICI-182780 and RU-486, or their respective combinations in ESC and GEC. We concluded that altered expression of specific miRNAs in ECE, affecting the stability of their target genes expression, has direct implications in pathogenesis of endometriosis.

  • Reports of miR-23a expression in eutopic endometrium from women with and without endometriosis showed opposite directions of dysregulation, with one study involving proliferative endometrial specimens and the other including only early to midsecretory samples.

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.
