Since the PLAGL1 (ZAC1) gene is expressed in the human endometrium. It may be involved in the etiology of endometrial disorders by its abnormal regulation and expression. This study aimed to investigate the Zac1 gene and related microRNA and LncRNA and its alterations in patients with endometriosis. Blood plasma, ectopic (EC) and eutopic (EU) endometrial samples were gathered from 30 patients with endometriosis and 30 healthy fertile women, and the Q-PCR technique was used to determine the expression level of Zac1 mRNA and microRNAs (miR-1271-5p, hsa-miR-490-3pin) and LncRNAs (TONSL-AS1 TONSL, KCNQ1OT1 KCNQ1). According to the results, the Zac1 gene and KCNQ1OT1 KCNQ1, TONSL-AS1 TONSL LncRNA expression were significantly decreased in the endometriosis group versus the control group (P < 0.05). MiR-1271-5p and hsa-miR-490-3pin microRNA expression were significantly raised in the endometriosis group as opposed to the control group (P < 0.05). In summary, this research for the first time revealed that identifying Zac1 expression provides us with new indicators for evaluating endometriosis.
由于PLAGL1(ZAC1)基因在人类子宫内膜中表达,它可能因其异常调控和表达而参与子宫内膜疾病的病因学。本研究旨在调查子宫内膜异位症患者中Zac1基因及相关微小RNA和长链非编码RNA及其变化。从30例子宫内膜异位症患者和30例健康有生育能力的女性中采集血浆、异位(EC)和在位(EU)子宫内膜样本,并采用Q-PCR技术测定Zac1 mRNA、微小RNA(miR-1271-5p、hsa-miR-490-3pin)和长链非编码RNA(TONSL-AS1 TONSL、KCNQ1OT1 KCNQ1)的表达水平。结果显示,与对照组相比,子宫内膜异位症组中Zac1基因、KCNQ1OT1 KCNQ1和TONSL-AS1 TONSL长链非编码RNA的表达显著降低(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,子宫内膜异位症组中MiR-1271-5p和hsa-miR-490-3pin微小RNA的表达显著升高(P<0.05)。综上所述,本研究首次揭示,Zac1表达的鉴定为我们评估子宫内膜异位症提供了新的指标。
