Expression of miR-195 in intrauterine adhesion and its relationship with TGF-β1/Smads and FGF2/FGFR1/ERK pathways

摘要

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-195 in intrauterine adhesion(IUA)and its relationship with TGF-β1/Smads and FGF2/FGFR1/ERK pathways.Methods:118 cases of IUA patients who underwent hysteroscopic treatment in our hospital between September 2017 and February 2019 were regarded as IUA group,80 cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding patients who underwent hysteroscopic curettage in our hospital during the same period were regarded as control group.Differences in the expression levels of miR-195 as well as TGF-β1/Smads and FGF2/FGFR1/ERK signaling pathway-related molecules in the focal tissues obtained by hysteroscopy were compared between the two groups.Pearson test was used to evaluate the correlation of miR-195 expression in the intrauterine adhesion tissues with TGF-β1/Smads and FGF2/FGFR1/ERK pathways in IUA patients.Results:miR-195 expression in intrauterine adhesion tissues of IUA group was higher than that in endometrial tissues of control group(P<0.05).TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA expression in intrauterine adhesion tissues of IUA group were higher than those in endometrial tissues of control group;FGF2,FGFR1 and ERK mRNA expression in intrauterine adhesion tissues were higher than those in endometrial tissues of control group(P<0.05).Pearson test showed that the miR-195 expression in intrauterine adhesion tissues of IUA group was positively correlated with the TGF-β1/Smads pathway-related molecules TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA expression,and positively correlated with the FGF2/FGFR1/ERK pathway-related molecules FGF2,FGFR1 and ERK mRNA expression(P<0.05).Conclusion:miR-195 is highly expressed in IUA lesion tissues and may promote disease progression by activating TGF-β1/Smads and FGF2/FGFR1/ERK signaling pathways.
