Abstract

The clinical significance of hsa-mir-1247 and hsa‑mir-1269a expression in ectopic pregnancy due to salpingitis was investigated. Eighty patients with ectopic pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonography who were admitted to Jinan Maternity and Child Care Hospital from January 2012 to May 2012 were enrolled in this study. To the observation group were assigned 35 patients whose ectopic pregnancy was due to salpingitis. The remaining 45 patients whose ectopic pregnancy was due to reasons other than endometriosis were assigned to the control group. Moreover, 32 healthy pregnant women were enrolled in this study at the same time as the healthy control group. Compared with the healthy control group, hsa-mir-1247 and hsa-mir-1269a were downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in patients with ectopic pregnancy (p<0.05). The difference was even more marked in patients with ectopic pregnancy due to salpingitis (p<0.05). The expression levels of hsa-mir-1247 and hsa‑mir-1269a were negatively correlated, and the correlation coefficient r and p-value was -0.667 and 0.006, respectively. Abnormal expression of hsa-mir-1247 and hsa-mir-1269a may be risk factors for ectopic pregnancy. Abnormal expression of hsa-mir-1247 and hsa-mir-1269a found in patients with ectopic pregnancy due to salpingitis may be used as biomarkers of ectopic pregnancy.
