Background: Human endometrial cells are important in blastocyst recognition and implantation. We have recently shown that miR-191-5p secreted into culture medium by human embryos cultured and transferred to woman on the fifth day of development was associated with the percentage of pregnant vs. non-pregnant patients. Little is known about the regulation and expression of endometrial miRNAs induced by embryonic miRNAs in endometrial tissue. Therefore, in the present work we explored the viability and transfection of RL95-2 endometrial cell line with agomiR-191. Results: The main results obtained in this study were: First, transfection of RL95-2 cell line with 100nM of lipofectamine in combination with 15, 30, and 60 nM of agomiR-191 for 3, 6 and 24 hours does not affect the viability of RL95-2 cells. Second, we observed expression of miR-191 with 60 pmol of agomiR-191 in a time dependent transfection. Conclusion:: Stimulation of RL95-2 endometrial cell line with lipofectamine does not modify their viability. The transfected RL95-2 endometrial cells showed increased the expression of miR-191.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
