hsa-miR-100-5p, an overexpressed miRNA in human ovarian endometriotic stromal cells, promotes invasion through attenuation of SMARCD1 expression.

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. PMID: 32299427 [PubMed - in process]
