Research progress on miRNAs involved in endometriosis-associated infertility
Endometriosis(EMS)is a common gynecological disease,which mainly occurs in women of childbearing age and is characterized by dysmenorrhea,chronic pelvic pain and infertility.EMS is closely related to infertility and is an important cause of infertility.Patients may have multiple abnormalities in ovarian function,embryo development,pelvic en-vironment and immune system,and the specific mechanism is still being explored.Recent studies have shown that microRNAs(miRNAs)participate in cell proliferation,apoptosis,differentiation and migration,and play an important role in EMS-related infertility.This article reviews the recent research progress of miRNA in EMS-associated infertility.
