BACKGROUND: Endometrial carcinoma is one of the common carcinomas in the female reproductive system. It is reported that miR-204-5p is down-regulated in endometrial carcinoma. However, the mechanism and key pathways of miR-204-5p in endometrial carcinoma have not been clarified.

MATERIAL/METHODS: We evaluated the expression profiles and prognostic value of miR-204-5p expression in endometrial carcinoma by using bioinformatics analysis of a public dataset from TCGA. Drug of endometrial carcinoma from DrugBank, GO analysis, KEGG analysis, PPI network, mutation, as well as assessment of the prognostic significance were performed to the overlapping target genes of miR-204-5p in endometrial carcinoma. The relative expression levels of miR-204-5p target genes in endometrial carcinoma, including SF3B1, FBXW7, SPOP, and BRD4, were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

RESULTS: First, through DrugBank website, we obtained target drugs for endometrial carcinoma. MiR-204-5p expression was found to be lower in the endometrial carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues from TCGA. Next, we identified 143 genes as potential targets of miR-204-5p. Then, through GO enrichment analysis, KEGG signaling pathway and PPI analysis, we revealed the key networks in endometrial carcinoma. Next, mutation and assessment of the prognostic significance of endometrial carcinoma were obtained. At last, in endometrial carcinoma, the relative expression of SF3B1 and BRD4 increased, and the relative expression of FBXW7 decreased.

CONCLUSIONS: MiR-204-5p is down-regulated in endometrial carcinoma and affects the prognostic significance of endometrial carcinoma, which might play an important role in the tumorigenesis of endometrial carcinoma.
