Exploring diagnostic m6A regulators in endometriosis.

ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder, usually causing infertility, pelvic pain, and ovarian masses. This study intended to investigate the implication of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators in endometriosis. We acquired 34 normal, 127 eutopic, and 46 ectopic, samples of endometrium from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE7305, GSE7307, GSE51981) database and the Array-express (E-MTAB-694) database. These samples were then used to profile the expression of 20 m6A regulators in endometriosis. The results indicated that most dysregulated (19/20) m6A regulators were significantly downregulated in eutopic vs. normal endometrium and also significantly downregulated in ectopic vs. eutopic endometrium. Several dysregulated m6A regulators were common to both contr
