lncRNA PVT1/MicroRNA-17-5p/PTEN Axis Regulates Secretion of E2 and P4, Proliferation, and Apoptosis of Ovarian Granulosa Cells in PCOS.

Recently, the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the present study, we investigated the role of the lncRNA PVT1/miR-17-5p/PTEN axis in PCOS ovarian granulosa cells. Expression of PVT1, miR-17-5p and PTEN in PCOS ovarian granulosa cells and follicular fluid was detected, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), and sex hormones were assessed.

LncRNA LOXL1-AS1 promotes endometrial cancer progression by sponging miR-28-5p to upregulate RAP1B expression.

Background: Increasing lncRNAs are found to be involved in the biological process of multiple cancer types. Herein, we aimed to reveal the role of LOXL1-AS1 in endometrial cancer (EC) progression.

Methods: Tumor and corresponding normal tissues were obtained from EC patients.

Role of interleukin-10 polymorphisms and haplotypes in polycystic ovary syndrome risk.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequently encountered endocrine malfunctions. The etiology of PCOS is complex and unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of three common SNPs (rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872) of IL-10 in the development of PCOS in a Chinese population.
