Objective. To estimate the expression level of long non-coding RNAs ROR and MALAT1 in the endometriosis-affected ovarian tissue biopsy specimens relative to the control group.
Materials and methods. The endometrioid ovarian cyst and endometriosis-unaffected ovarian tissue samples from 20 reproductive-aged women were examined. The expression of long non-coding RNAs ROR and MALAT1 was analyzed by real-time PCR using primers that were specific to these genes.
Resu1ts. There was a substantial decrease in the expression level of long non-coding RNA ROR and an increase in the expression of MALAT1 in the endometriosis-affected tissue samples relative to the control group.
Conclusion. The investigation revealed a relationship between the decreased level of lncROR expression, the increased level of MALAT1, and the presence of ovarian endometriosis. The findings suggest that long non-coding RNAs play a possible role in the development of proliferative processes in ovarian endometriosis and correlate with the data obtained from the analysis of uterine myoma samples. Further investigations may determine the clinical potential of long non-coding RNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of proliferative diseases of the female reproductive system, in particular precancerous ovarian lesions.
