The Role of miRNAs 340-5p, 92a-3p, and 381-3p in Patients with Endometriosis: A Plasma and Mesenchymal Stem-Like Cell Study

Figure 6

The endometriosis stages and the possible role of miR-340-5p, miR-92a-3p, and miR-381-3p in endometriosis, their target genes, and related pathways. MMP9: matrix metalloproteinase-9; CCND1: cyclin D1; DNMT1: DNA methyltransferase 1; PIK3CA: Phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-Bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha; IGF-1R: insulin-like growth factor receptor; c-MET: MET protooncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase; eIF4E: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E; TGFB1: transforming growth factor beta 1; ITGA5: integrin subunit alpha 5; BMPR2: bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2. The well-known process and pathways in endometriosis are apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, migration, senescence, and EMT process.
