This study aimed to compare the profiles of differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in fibroids from postmenopausal and premenopausal women to identify hormone-responsive lncRNAs. RNA sequencing was performed on six pairs of fibroid (Fib) and adjacent myometrium (Myo) tissues from postmenopausal women. Out of 7876 normalized lncRNAs, 3684 were differentially expressed (\u22651.5-fold), with 1702 upregulated and 1982 downregulated in Fib. Comparative analysis with a previously published premenopausal dataset identified 741 lncRNAs that were altered based on their menopausal status, including 62 lncRNAs that were uniquely dysregulated in postmenopausal samples. Overall, 9 lncRNAs were selected for validation by PCR in an expanded cohort of 31 postmenopausal and 84 premenopausal paired samples. Several lncRNAs, including LINC02433, LINC01449, SNHG12, H19, and HOTTIP, were upregulated in premenopausal Fib but not in postmenopausal ones, while ZEB2-AS1 displayed the opposite pattern. CASC15 and MIAT were elevated in Fib from both groups, although the increase was less pronounced in the postmenopausal group. LINC01117 was significantly downregulated in postmenopausal Fib, with no change observed in premenopausal samples. Additionally, analysis based on MED12 mutation status revealed that lncRNAs such as LINC01449, CASC15, and MIAT showed limited or reduced differential expression (mutation-positive vs. mutation-negative) in postmenopausal patients compared to the premenopausal group. These findings indicate that lncRNA expression in fibroids is modulated by menopausal status, likely reflecting hormonal influence. Hormone-responsive lncRNAs may play key roles in fibroid pathogenesis and represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26146798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,16]],"date-time":"2025-07-16T08:24:17Z","timestamp":1752654257000},"page":"6798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Differentially Expressed Long Non-Coding RNA in Pre- and Postmenopausal Fibroids"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1195-7054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsai-Der","family":"Chuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5899-0449","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shawn","family":"Rysling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nhu","family":"Ton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Baghdasarian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA 90509, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4996-5762","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omid","family":"Khorram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Torrance, CA 90502, USA"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA 90509, USA"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1501","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.14640","article-title":"Epidemiology of uterine fibroids: A systematic review","volume":"124","author":"Stewart","year":"2017","journal-title":"BJOG"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"100","article-title":"Uterine Fibroids: Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":"95","author":"Buchanan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am.
