Title in Portuguese
Desregulação de miRNAs em células-tronco mesenquimais derivadas de fluxo menstrual de mulheres com e sem endometriose
Keywords in Portuguese
Endometriose
MenSCs
miR-200b-3p
RT-qPCR
Sangue menstrual
Abstract in Portuguese
A relação fundamental entre a teoria de Sampson e a presença de células-tronco mesenquimais no fluxo menstrual (MenSCs), bem como, as mudanças nos processos regulatórios póstranscricionais como atores na etiopatogenia da endometriose, são pouco compreendidas. Nenhum estudo até o momento investigou o desequilíbrio de miRNAs em MenSCs relacionados à doença. Assim, por meio da literatura e de análises in silico, selecionamos quatro miRNAs previstos como reguladores de EGR1, SNAI1, NR4A1, NR4A2, ID1, LAMC3 e FOSB envolvidos nas vias de apoptose, angiogênese, resposta a hormônios esteróides, migração, diferenciação e proliferação celular. Deste modo, um estudo caso-controle foi realizado com MenSCs de mulheres com e sem endometriose (dez amostras por grupo). Cruzando as informações obtidas nos bancos de dados STRING, PubMed, miRPathDB, miRWalk e DIANA TOOLS, optamos por explorar a expressão dos miRNAs miR-21-5p, miR-100-5p, miR-143- 3p e miR-200b-3p por RT-qPCR. Encontramos uma regulação positiva do miR-200b-3p em MenSCs de endometriose (P = 0,0207), com uma alteração de 7,93 vezes (razão entre as médias geométricas) em comparação com o controle. A superexpressão do miR-200b tem sido associada ao aumento da proliferação celular, stemness e ao processo de transição mesenquimal-epitelial acentuado no endométrio eutópico de mulheres com endometriose. Acreditamos que o miR-200b-3p desregulado pode estabelecer alterações primárias nas MenSCs, e assim, favorecendo a implantação de tecido no local ectópico.

Dysregulation of miRNAs in menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells from healthy and endometriosis women

Abstract in English
The key relationship between Sampson's theory and the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in the menstrual flow (MenSCs), as well as the changes in post-transcriptional regulatory processes as actors in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, are poorly understood. No study to date has investigated the imbalance of miRNAs in MenSCs related to the disease. Thus, through literature and in silico analyses, we selected four predicted miRNAs as regulators of EGR1, SNAI1, NR4A1, NR4A2, ID1, LAMC3, and FOSB involved in pathways of apoptosis, angiogenesis, response to steroid hormones, migration, differentiation, and cell proliferation. Therefore, a case-control study was conducted with MenSCs of women with and without endometriosis (ten samples per group). Crossing information obtained from the STRING, PubMed, miRPathDB, miRWalk, and DIANA TOOLS databases, we chose to explore the expression of miR-21-5p, miR-100-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-200b-3p by RT-qPCR. We found an upregulation of the miR-200b-3p in endometriosis MenSCs (P=0.0207), with a 7.93- fold change (ratio of geometric means) compared to control. Overexpression of miR-200b has been associated with increased cell proliferation, stemness and accentuated mesenchymalepithelial transition process in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis. We believe that dysregulated miR-200b-3p may establish primary changes in the MenSCs, thus favoring tissue implantation at the ectopic site.
