Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the role and mechanisms of microRNA (miR)‑33b in endometriosis (Ems). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR), MTT assays, flow cytometry, caspase‑3/9 activity assays and western blotting were performed in the present study. Initially, miR‑33b expression in an Ems rat model was investigated by RT‑qPCR and was demonstrated to be upregulated in Ems tissue samples of rats compared with the control group. In addition, miR‑33b upregulation inhibited cell growth and enhanced apoptosis in an Ems model (primary cell cultures) compared with the control group. In addition, miR‑33b up‑regulation reduced Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway and suppressed zinc finger E‑box‑binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) protein expression in the in vitro Ems model (primary cell cultures) compared with the control group. Furthermore, small interfering‑ZEB1 ameliorated the effects of miR‑33b downregulation on Ems cell growth in the in vitro Ems model. Additionally, a Wnt agonist reduced the effects of miR‑33b upregulation on Ems cell growth in the in vitro Ems model. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that upregulation of miR‑33b may promote Ems through Wnt/β‑catenin by ZEB1 expression.
