miRNA-887-5p increased in peritoneal macrophages of endometriosis. (A) Dual-luciferase reporter assay was conducted in 293T cells co-transfected with miR-NC or miR-887-5p. (B) Vector construction for luciferase experiment. (C) MST1(STK4)-miR-887-5p UTR sequencing peak. (D) The mRNA levels of miR-887-5p in human peritoneal macrophages with or without endometriosis by RT-qPCR. (E, F) Representative western blot of protein expression after transfection. (G) The mRNA level of MST1 and p38-MAPK after miR-887-mimics and -inhibitor transfection. (H) The cell viability of THP-1 after transfection. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Control group peritoneal macrophages vs. endometriosis group peritoneal macrophages). Values represent the mean ± standard error. ns means not statistically significant.
