Abstract 256P
Background
The clinical behaviors and cytogenetics of solitary uterine leiomyomas (SUL) and multiple uterine leiomyomas (MUL) vary. Our previous study demonstrated that miR-146b-5p played important roles in the development of SUL and MUL. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in the pathogenesis of several diseases by regulating microRNAs; however, their roles in regulating miR-146b-5b and in the pathology of leiomyomas are unclear.
Methods
Pair-matched uterine leiomyoma and adjacent normal myometrium tissue samples were collected from 37 patients with leiomyomas, including 15 with SUL and 22 with MUL. Six paired samples were used for lncRNAs microarray analysis. Targeted lncRNAs were selected by bioinformatics analysis, and were verified by qRT-PCR and a dual-luciferase reporter assay.Growth curve analysis and qRT-PCR were used to evaluate the effect of silencing the lncRNA lnc-AL445665.1-4 on cell proliferation and miR-146b-5p expression, respectively.
Results
Fifty-five of the selected lncRNAs were predicted to target miR-146b-5p. Four lncRNAs were selected after Venn diagram analysis showing common dysregulation in the three groups. Lnc-AL445665.1-4 was selected for further exploration. qRT-PCR showed that lnc-AL445665.1-4 expression was significantly up-regulated in MUL compared with SUL in an additional 12 and 19 paired SUL-normal and MUL-normal samples, respectively. The dual-luciferase reporter assaydemonstrated the presence of binding sites on lnc-AL445665.1 for miR-146b-5p. Silencing lnc-AL445665.1-4 not only inhibited cell proliferation but also negatively regulated the expression of miR-146b-5p.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that lnc-AL445665.1-4 may be involved in the development of MUL by interacting with miR-146b-5p. Lnc-AL445665.1-4 could be a novel target for genetic therapy or serve as a biomarker for predicting the recurrence of MUL in patients that have undergone myomectomy.
