The present study aimed to investigate the potential effect of fibronectin (FN) in adenomyosis progression. Small guide RNAs were designed to knock down FN expression in Ishikawa cells. The impact of FN on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of the cells was assessed. Cell proliferation was detected using a Celigo Imaging Cytometer system; apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry; and cell migration and invasion were investigated via transwell assays. Cell proliferation was markedly suppressed in the FN knockout (KO) group compared with the control group, while apoptosis significantly increased. The levels of cell migration and invasion in the KO group were significantly decreased compared with the control group. Our study revealed that downregulation of FN expression is likely to restrain cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in endometrial cells in adenomyosis.
本研究旨在探讨纤连蛋白(FN)在子宫腺肌病进展中的潜在作用。设计小干扰RNA以敲低Ishikawa细胞中FN的表达。评估FN对细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移和侵袭的影响。使用Celigo成像细胞仪系统检测细胞增殖;通过流式细胞术定量凋亡;并通过Transwell实验研究细胞迁移和侵袭。与对照组相比,FN基因敲除(KO)组的细胞增殖明显受到抑制,而凋亡显著增加。与对照组相比,KO组的细胞迁移和侵袭水平显著降低。我们的研究表明,FN表达下调可能会抑制子宫腺肌病中子宫内膜细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。
