Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expression of cyclic RNA PIP5K1A (circPIP5K1A) and microRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p) in the serum and the severity of the disease and infertility in patients with endometriosis (EM) .Methods:A total of 110 cases of EM patients admitted to Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) from Jan. 2020 to Jan. 2022 were regarded as the research objects, and were diveded into infertility group (44 cases) and successful pregnancy group (66 cases) according to the pregnancy outcome. General data were collected and the levels of serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A were compared between the two groups; Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation between serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A. The diagnostic value of miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A levels in patients with stage III-V EM was evaluated by ROC curve; Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of infertility.Results:The expression level of serum miR-124-3p in stage Ⅰ EM patients (1.06±0.21) was higher than that in stage Ⅱ (0.83±0.19), stage Ⅲ (0.65±0.12) and stage Ⅴ (0.44±0.08), and the serum miR-124-3p level decreased with the increase of r-AFS stage. The differences were statistically significant ( t=54.29, P<0.05). The expression level of circPIP5K1A (0.77±0.12) was lower than that of stage Ⅱ (0.90±0.15), stage Ⅲ (1.20±0.20) and stage Ⅴ (1.53±0.26), and increased with the increase of r-AFS stage, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=90.45, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of circPIP5K1A and miR-124-3p in serum of EM patients was negatively correlated ( r=-0.424, P<0.05) ; the serum miR-124-3p level in infertility group was lower than that in successful pregnancy group, and the serum circPIP5K1A level in infertility group was higher than that in successful pregnancy group ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A levels in the diagnosis of stage III-V EM patients was 0.900 and 0.887 respectively. The corresponding sensitivity was 88.24%, 85.29%, and the specificity was 78.95%, 88.16%, respectively. The AUC of combined diagnosis was 0.937, the sensitivity was 82.35%, and the specificity was 90.79%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A were related factors affecting infertility ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression of miR-124-3p in the serum of EM patients decreases, and the expression of circPIP5K1A increases. The combined detection of miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A has certain diagnostic value for the patients with stage III-V EM, and they are closely related to the occurrence of infertility.
