Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the expression and role of Endoglin (ENG) in endometriosis (EM).

Material and methods: In this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the expression of ENG in tissues. Cellular experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of ENG on cellular biological function. Western blot was used to examine the expression of epithelial to mesenchymal transition-related proteins.

Results: The expression of ENG was significantly higher in the ectopic endometriotic tissues than that in eutopic endometriotic tissues. Knockdown of ENG inhibited cell viability, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis in hEM15A cells. Additionally, silenced ENG caused increased levels of E-cadherin and decreased levels of N-cadherin, vimentin, MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Conclusions: These results confirmed that ENG may be involved in the development of endometriosis by promoting EMT process, revealing a new insight into the pathogenesis of endometriosis and contributing to the exploration of molecular therapeutic strategies against endometriosis.

Endoglin 通过调节 EMT 促进子宫内膜异位症的细胞迁移和侵袭。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨子宫内膜异位症（EM）中Endoglin（ENG）的表达和作用：本研究采用实时定量聚合酶链反应、Western 印迹和免疫组织化学方法检测ENG在组织中的表达。细胞实验用于评估ENG对细胞生物功能的影响。Western 印迹用于检测上皮细胞向间充质转化相关蛋白的表达：结果：异位子宫内膜异位组织中ENG的表达明显高于异位子宫内膜异位组织。在 hEM15A 细胞中，敲除 ENG 可抑制细胞活力、迁移和侵袭，并诱导细胞凋亡。此外，沉默的ENG导致E-cadherin水平升高，N-cadherin、波形蛋白、MMP-2和MMP-9水平降低：这些结果证实了ENG可能通过促进EMT过程参与了子宫内膜异位症的发展，揭示了子宫内膜异位症发病机制的新见解，有助于探索子宫内膜异位症的分子治疗策略。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
