Abstract: Objective To investigate the occurrence of epithelia-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometrial carcinoma and examine the roles of miR200a/zinc finger E-box-binding protein 1(ZEB1) signaling pathway in this process. Methods Different groups of samples were collected, including paraffin sections of endometrial adenocarcinoma tissues (group A, n=22), endometrial tissues after resection of uterine myoma(group B, n=45), endometrial adenocarcinoma samples obtained during operation(group C, n=15) and healthy endometrial tissues(group D, n=34). Expressions of E-cadherin, Vimentin and ZEB1 in group A and group B were investigated with immunohistochemistry. Expressions of E-cadherin, Vimentin and ZEB1 and their mRNA in group C and group D were evaluated with Western blotting and Real-time RT-PCR. Expression of miR200a in group C and D was determined with Real-time RT-PCR. Results ① Compared with group A, group B had significantly decreased expression of E-cadherin, and markedly increased expressions of Vimentin and ZEB1(both P<0.05). ② Compared with group C, group D had decreased E-cadherin and its mRNA expressions but increased expressions of Vimentin and its mRNA, and ZEB1 and its mRNA (all P<0.05). ③ Compared with group C, group D exhibited remarkably elevated miR200a, which was positively correlated to E-cadherin's mRNA(r=0.63, P<0.01)as indicated by a linear regression analysis. Conclusions EMT occurs in endometrial adenocarcinoma. The miR200/ZEB1signaling pathway can inhibit the important molecular markers in EMT.
