hsa-miR-100-5p, an overexpressed miRNA in human ovarian endometriotic stromal cells, promotes invasion through attenuation of SMARCD1 expression
BACKGROUND: A number of microRNAs are aberrantly expressed in endometriosis and are involved in its pathogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that has-miR-100-5p expression is enhanced in human endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs). The present study aimed to elucidate the roles of has-miR-10...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: A number of microRNAs are aberrantly expressed in endometriosis and are involved in its pathogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that has-miR-100-5p expression is enhanced in human endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs). The present study aimed to elucidate the roles of has-miR-100-5p in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Normal endometrial stromal cells (NESCs) were isolated from normal eutopic endometrium without endometriosis. Using hsa-miR-100-5p-transfected NESCs, we evaluated the effect of hsa-miR-100-5p on the invasiveness of these cells by Transwell invasion assay and in-vitro wound repair assay. We also investigated the downstream signal pathways of hsa-miR-100-5p by microarray analysis and Ingenuity pathways analysis. RESULTS: hsa-miR-100-5p transfection enhanced the invasion and motility of NESCs. After hsa-miR-100-5p transfection, mRNA expression of SWItch/sucrose non-fermentable-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily D member 1 (SMARCD1) was significantly attenuated. Whereas, the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1) mRNA and active MMP1 protein levels was upregulated. CONCLUSION: We found that SMARCD1/MMP-1 is a downstream pathway of hsa-miR-100-5p. hsa-miR-100-5p transfection enhanced the motility of NESCs by inhibiting SMARCD1 expression and MMP1 activation. These findings suggest that enhanced hsa-miR-100-5p expression in endometriosis is involved in promoting the acquisition of endometriosis-specific characteristics during endometriosis development. Our present findings on the roles of hsa-miR-100-5p may thus contribute to understand the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. |
