Exosomes were isolated from cultures of fibroid explants and matched myometrial explants, and their RNA cargo was analyzed by next-generation sequencing to profile both long and short RNA species. Fibroid-derived exosomes (Fib-EXO) expresse…
OBJECTIVE: To study the differences in immune cell profiles in uterine fibroids (Fibs) and matched myometrium (Myo). DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Laboratory study. PATIENT(S): The study included tissue that was collected from 10…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the expression of enzymes in tryptophan (Trp) catabolism in fibroids and matched myometrium and determine the effects of race and mediator complex subunit 12 gene (MED12) mutation on their expression. DESIGN: Experi…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the expression of miR-29c and its target gene transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) in leiomyoma and the mechanisms of their reciprocal regulation. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Academic research laboratory…
A number of microRNAs (miRNAs), including miR-200 family, are aberrantly expressed in endometriosis and endometrial cancer. Hereweassessed theexpression and functional aspectsofmiR-200c inendometrial tissues (N 52) fromnormal endometrial bi…

We have previously reported that leiomyoma expressed lower levels of miR-200c and elevated IL8 as compared to paired myometrium. Here we addressed the regulatory functions of miR-200c on the expression of inflammatory mediators and cellular…
CONTEXT: Evidence suggests that a number of microRNA (miRNA) are aberrantly expressed in endometrial disorders with potential posttranscriptional regulation of their specific target genes, including ovarian steroid receptors. OBJECTIVES: O…
