Ulipristal Acetate Modifies miRNA Expression in Both Superficial and Basal Layers of the Human Endometrium

(1) Background: Ulipristal acetate (UPA) is a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) widely used for emergency contraception and mid- to long-term leiomyoma treatment. The aim of this study was to identify modifications of miRNA expression in superficial and basal layers of the human endometrium at the end of the UPA treatment for at least 3 months. (2) Methods: Microarray miRNA analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded hysterectomy tissue samples was conducted, followed by an Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Samples were divided into three groups: women having had 3 months of UPA treatment (n = 7); and two control groups of UPA-naïve women in the proliferative (n = 8) or secretory (n = 6) phase. (3) Results: The UPA modified the expression of 59 miRNAs involved in the processes of cell cycle, carcinogenesis, and inflammation. Their expression profiles were different in the basal and superficial layers. Most of the processes influenced by the UPA in the basal layer were connected to the cell cycle and immune regulation. (4) Conclusion: Specific changes were observed in both layers of the endometrium in the UPA group. However, the miRNA expression in the basal layer was not consistent with that in the superficial layer. Other large studies analysing the long-term impact of SPRM on endometrial miRNA expression are necessary.
