Abstract

Background

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in RSA using the lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA regulatory network.

Methods

The present study obtained expression datasets of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood samples of individuals with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and healthy controls. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), mRNAs (DEMs), and miRNAs (DEmiRs) were identified. A regulatory network comprising lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA was constructed, and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were conducted to analyze the biological functions of DEM. Also, a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was made and key genes were identified.

Results

A total of 57 DELs, 212 DEmiRs, and 301 DEMs regarding RSA were identified. Later analysis revealed a lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA network comprising nine lncRNAs, 14 miRNAs, and 65 mRNAs. Then, the ceRNA network genes were subjected to functional enrichment and pathway analysis, which showed their association with various processes, such as cortisol and thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, human cytomegalovirus infection, and parathyroid hormone synthesis. In addition, ten hub genes (ITGB3, GNAI2, GNAS, SRC, PLEC, CDC42, RHOA, RAC1, CTNND1, and FN1) were identified based on the PPI network results.

Conclusion

In summary, the outcomes of our study provided some data regarding the alteration genes involved in RSA pathogenic mechanism via the lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA network and reveal the possibility of identifying new lncRNAs and miRNAs as promising molecular biomarkers.

Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis: a rare discovery

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

Blutdrucksenkung könnte Uterusmyome verhindern

Frauen mit unbehandelter oder neu auftretender Hypertonie haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Uterusmyome. Eine Therapie mit Antihypertensiva geht hingegen mit einer verringerten Inzidenz der gutartigen Tumoren einher.

„Übersichtlicher Wegweiser“: Lauterbachs umstrittener Klinik-Atlas ist online

17.05.2024 Klinik aktuell Nachrichten

Sie sei „ethisch geboten“, meint Gesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach: mehr Transparenz über die Qualität von Klinikbehandlungen. Um sie abzubilden, lässt er gegen den Widerstand vieler Länder einen virtuellen Klinik-Atlas freischalten.

Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugat hält solide Tumoren in Schach

Trastuzumab deruxtecan scheint auch jenseits von Lungenkrebs gut gegen solide Tumoren mit HER2-Mutationen zu wirken. Dafür sprechen die Daten einer offenen Pan-Tumor-Studie.
