The overexpression and knockdown of <em>BANCR</em> in NESC and EESC upregulated and downregulated the expression of CPNE3 and promoted or prevented cell proliferation and migration, respectively; these effects were reversed by miR-612 mimics and inhibitor. These changes were all statistically significant (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). In-vivo experiments revealed that <em>BANCR</em> significantly increased the survival of subcutaneous endometrial cells by regulating miR-612/CPNE3 (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The expression of <em>BANCR</em> gradually increased with the progression of endometriosis during malignant transformation, and promoted the proliferation and migration of endometrial cells via the miR-612/CPNE3 pathway. <em>BANCR</em> may represent a novel target for monitoring the malignant transformation of endometriosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21134,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive biomedicine online","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142401133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
