For example, ENST00000465368 is predicted to act as a ceRNA of miR-199a, which targets and inhibits the IKKβ/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway35, and suppresses proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of endometrial mesenchymal stem cells by targeting the VEGFA26, implying that the lncRNA may have the ability to enhance endometrial stromal cell invasiveness and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and endometriosis.
