(A) HOTAIR levels in lesions from severe endometriosis patients (stage 4) (Endo; n = 18) were analyzed and compared with that in normal endometria (Normal; n = 18). (B) Expression levels of component genes in HOTAIR-associated complexes, PRC2 and LSD1/REST/CoREST, were also analyzed and compared with the levels in healthy controls. (C) Expression levels of possible downstream effectors of HOTAIR, including genes at the HOXD locus and other validated targets [17,28], were compared between patients (Endo) and controls (Normal) by using t-test.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
