[Retracted] miR‑187 inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells by targeting FGF9.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the cell formation assay data shown in Figs. 3C, 4C and 7C, and certain of the western blotting data shown in Figs. 7E and 8E were strikingly similar to data that had already appeared in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes.

RNA-sequencing identifies differentially expressed genes in T helper 17 cells in peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis.

Innate and adaptive immune factors play significant roles in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. T helper 17 (Th17) cells, a pro-inflammatory T cell subset, were considered to contribute to the progression of endometriosis lesions. However, the regulatory mechanisms of Th17 cells in endometriosis remain unidentified, partially due to the difficulty in recovering live Th17 cells from endometriosis patients.

Effect of intravenous lidocaine on short-term pain after hysteroscopy: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: The role of intravenous lidocaine infusion in endoscopic surgery has been previously evaluated for pain relief and recovery. Recently, it has been shown to reduce postoperative pain and opioid in patients undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection. Similar to endoscopic submucosal dissection, operative hysteroscopy is also an endoscopic surgical procedure within natural lumens.

Identification of the Hub Genes Associated with the Prognosis of Ovarian Cancer Patients via Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis and Experimental Validation.

Background: This study aimed to identify the hub genes associated with prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer by using integrated bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation.

Methods: Four microarray datasets (GSE12470, GSE14407, GSE18521 and GSE46169) were analyzed by the GEO2R tool to screen common differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene Ontology, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, the (KEGG) pathway and Reactome pathway enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) construction, and the identification of hub genes were performed.

lncRNA-PRLB Confers Paclitaxel Resistance of Ovarian Cancer Cells by Regulating RSF1/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-PRLB (progression-associated lncRNA in breast cancer) has been identified to enhance the drug resistance of breast cancer cells. In this study, the authors explored PRLB effect in the paclitaxel (Tax) resistance of ovarian cancer cells and revealed the role of RSF1 (remodeling and spacing factor 1)/nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling in this process. Tax resistance was established in CAOV3 and SKOV3 cell lines.

Long non-coding RNA GAS5 regulates the growth and metastasis of human cervical cancer cells via induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

Studies have proved the role of GAS5 in the development of different cancers. This study was undertaken to investigate the role and explore therapeutic implications of GAS5 in human cervical cancer. The results showed that GAS5 was significantly (p < 0.

Co-expression network analysis of the lncRNAs and mRNAs associated with cervical cancer progression.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in females in developing countries. Recent studies showed that long non-coding RNAs play a key role in human cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of cervical cancer remained to be further explored.

miR-187 inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells by targeting FGF9.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a cluster of short non-coding RNAs playing critical roles in human cancers. miR-187 was recently found to be a novel cancer-related microRNA. However, the expression and function of miR-187 in cervical cancer have not been investigated.
