Adenosine Deaminase Family Acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) May Be a De Novo Target for Endometriosis Treatment.
In vivo (Athens, Greece)(2024)
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM:Adenosine deaminase family acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) expression was examined to determine its correlation with endometriosis. The biological functions and inhibitory effects of ADAR1 knockdown were investigated in a human endometriotic cell line.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:ADAR1 was examined in patients with and without endometriosis using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the apoptotic expression of ADAR1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was confirmed using flow cytometry. The biological functions and inhibitory effects of ADAR1 knockdown were investigated using RT-PCR in a 12Z immortalized human endometriotic cell line.
RESULTS:ADAR1 expression was significantly higher in patients with endometriosis than in those without (p<0.001). ADAR1 siRNA increased early and late apoptosis, compared to the mock (24.83%) and control (19.96%) cells. ADAR1 knockdown led to apoptosis through MDA5, RIG-I, IRF3, IRF7, caspase 3, caspase 7, and caspase 8 expression in the cell lines.
CONCLUSION:ADAR1 is a potential novel therapeutic target in endometriosis.
