Disease Name: | uterine fibroid |
Sample: | UL tumor tissues |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Interaction(Erα/Wnt pathway ) |
Validated Method: | In Vivo Experiment//Western Blot//RIP//FISH//Luciferase Report Assay//Cell Proliferation Assay//Colony Formation Assay |
Description: | We found that lncRNA Alu-mediated p21 transcriptional regulator (APTR) showed higher expression in UL tumor tissues compared with that in normal uterine tissues. The results showed that APTR function was suppressed. APTR increased the expressions of the proteins in the Wnt pathway, and inhibiting ERα eliminated these responses. In conclusion, our data suggest that APTR promoted leiomyoma cell proliferation through the Wnt pathway by targeting ERα, suggesting a new role of APTR in the Wnt signaling pathway in UL. |
