microRNAs在子宫内膜异位症中的研究进展
Research advances in role of microRNAs in endometriosis

摘要: 子宫内膜异位症是一种妇科的常见病,其发病机制尚不明确,但现有大量研究表明miRNAs与子宫内膜异位症的发生密切相关。因此,本文就miRNAs在子宫内膜异位症中的研究进展予以综述。在组织学层面,有研究表明在位内膜及异位内膜中miRNAs表达存在差异,但各研究之间结果存在异质性,究其原因可能是所选取异位内膜组织类型及疾病阶段不同;在功能学层面,这些差异表达的miRNAs通过转录后调控特定通路中关键基因的表达来调节细胞的功能,包括上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)、免疫、细胞增殖、凋亡及细胞周期,从而影响子宫内膜异位症的发病。此外,本文还讨论了miRNA与子宫内膜异位症造成的不孕之间的关系。Abstract: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease,and its pathogenesis is still not clear.But a large number of studies have shown that miRNAs are closely related to the occurrence of endometriosis.Therefore,we review the research progress in role of microRNAs in endometriosis.Studies have shown that various miRNAs are differentially expressed in eutopic endometrium compared to ectopic endometrium,but the results are heterogeneous among different studies,which may be due to the different types of ectopic endometrium tissues and the different stages of disease.miRNAs can adjust the function of cells by regulating the expression of the key genes in specific pathways after transcription,including Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT),immunity,proliferation apoptosis and cell cycle,which will affect the pathogenesis of endometriosis.In addition,the relationship between miRNA and infertility due to endometriosis is also discussed.
