The remarkable potential of human endometrium to undergo spontaneous remodeling is shaped by controlled spatiotemporal gene expression patterns. Although hormone-driven transcription shown to govern these patterns, the post-transcriptional processing of these mRNA transcripts, including the mRNA splicing in the endometrium is not studied yet. Here, we report that the splicing factor, SF3B1 is central in driving alternative splicing (AS) events that are vital for physiological responses of the endometrium.

Background: This study sought to compare the efficacy and surgery complications of the modified Broström procedure and the modified Karlsson procedure in treating patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI).

Methods: Full-text publications on the clinical efficacy of Broström's and Karlsson's procedures were retrieved from multiple databases. Review Manager 5.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is generally considered as a disease that affects older women. We attempt to explore the role of actin‑like protein 8 (ACTL8) in EC and how it achieves its function. Based on the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we found that ACTL8 expression was up-regulated in EC tissues and correlated with shorter overall survival of EC patients.

Triple functional domain protein (Trio) is an evolutionarily conserved protein with guanine nucleotide exchange factors that regulate different physiological processes in some types of cancer. However, the expression and function of Trio in cervical cancer are still unknown. The purpose of this study was to detect the expression of Trio in cervical cancer tissues and to evaluate its clinical value.

Endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract and is the fourth most common malignancy among women worldwide. Endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) accounts for ~80% of endometrial carcinoma cases. Numerous critical genetic events have been determined to serve an essential role in EAC progression; however, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying EAC progression remain unclear.

Background: MicroRNA-202 (miR-202) has been reported to be aberrantly regulated in several cancers. The aim of this study is to explore the functional role of miR-202 in EAC tumor growth.

Material And Methods: miR-202 expression was detected by qRT-PCR.

Although microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are able to function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, the role of miR-326 in regulating human cervical cancer cells remains unclear. In the present study, the expression of miR-326 was identified to be downregulated in cervical cancer cell lines and primary tumor samples, and the overexpression of miR-326 decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion in cervical cell lines. Bioinformatics prediction and experimental validation results revealed that the function of miR-326 was achieved by targeting and repressing ETS domain-containing protein Elk-1 () expression.

Increasing evidence suggests an association between cancer stem cells and the tumor microenvironment. Ovarian cancer stem cell (OCSC) factors can influence the tumor microenvironment and prognosis. However, the effects of OCSCs on macrophage M1/M2 polarization are not yet completely understood.

Objective: To analyze the status of DACH1 gene promoter methylation and explore its association with the expression of DACH1 gene promoter methylation and clinical significance of endometrium carcinoma (EC).

Methods: From February 2004 to August 2008, a total of 80 EC tissue samples with comprehensive surgical pathology staging were collected and used for this study. Twenty normal endometrium tissues in 2008 were abstained from the fractional curettage because of dysfunctional uterine bleeding as control.
