AIM: To investigate the mechanisms of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 10 inhibitors (HDAC10Is) action in endometriosis and the target molecules of HDAC10Is. METHODS: We assessed the effects of HDAC10Is, tucidinostat and TH34, on the proliferati…

Objective: The microRNA hsa-miR-132-5p is upregulated in endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs). We investigate how hsa-miR-132-5p affects the progression of endometriosis. Methods: Normal endometrial stromal cells (NESCs) that have been …

BACKGROUND: A number of microRNAs are aberrantly expressed in endometriosis and are involved in its pathogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that has-miR-100-5p expression is enhanced in human endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs). …

A number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis are silenced by the hypermethylation of their promoter regions. We assessed the effect and mechanism of the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) (10 μM) on…

Endometriosis exhibits unique characteristics, such as fibrosis, resistance to apoptosis, and promotion of cell proliferation; however, its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Recurrence rates after treatment are high, and the progress…

Background: The heritable silencing of genes, without a change in their coding sequence, is due to epigenetic mechanisms. These mechanisms involve DNA methylation, the modification of histone, and non-coding RNA. Disrupting the balance of t…

BACKGROUND: We previously showed that microRNA-503 (miR-503) transfection into endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs) induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase by suppressing cyclin D1. This finding prompted us to evaluate the potentia…
