Characterisation of peri-implantation endometrial Treg and identification of an altered phenotype in recurrent pregnancy loss.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) affects 2-4% of couples, and with increasing numbers of pregnancy losses the risk of miscarrying a euploid pregnancy is increased, suggesting RPL is a pathology distinct from sporadic miscarriage that is due largely to lethal embryonic aneuploidy. There are a number of conditions associated with RPL including unspecified "immune" pathologies; one of the strongest candidates for dysregulation remains T regulatory cells as depletion in the very early stages of pregnancy in mice leads to pregnancy loss. Human endometrial Treg and conventional CD4T cells were isolated during the peri-implantation period of the menstrual cycle in normal women. We identified an endometrial Treg transcriptomic signature and validated an enhanced regulatory phenotype compared to peripheral blood Treg. Parous women had an altered endometrial Treg transcriptome compared to nulliparity, indicating acquired immune memory of pregnancy within the Treg population, by comparison endometrial conventional CD4T cells were not altered. We compared primary and secondary RPL to nulliparous or parous controls respectively. Both RPL subgroups displayed differentially expressed Treg gene transcriptomes compared to controls. We found increased cell surface S1PR1 and decreased TIGIT protein expression by Treg in primary RPL, confirming the presence of altered Treg in the peri-implantation RPL endometrium.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is associated with a pro-senescent decidual response during the peri-implantation window.

Project description:During the implantation window, the endometrium becomes poised to transition to a pregnant state, a process driven by differentiation of stromal cells into decidual cells (DC). Perturbations in this process, termed decidualization, leads to breakdown of the feto-maternal interface and miscarriage, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we reconstructed the decidual pathway at single-cell level in vitro and demonstrate that stromal cells first mount an acute stress response before emerging as DC or senescent DC (snDC). In the absence of immune cell-mediated clearance of snDC, secondary senescence transforms DC into progesterone-resistant cells that abundantly express extracellular matrix remodelling factors. Additional single-cell analysis of midluteal endometrium identified DIO2 and SCARA5 as marker genes of a diverging decidual response in vivo. Finally, we report a conspicuous link between a pro-senescent decidual response in peri-implantation endometrium and recurrent pregnancy loss, suggesting that pre-pregnancy screening and intervention may reduce the burden of miscarriage.

Endometrial Immune Dysfunction in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.

Project description:Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) represents an unresolved problem for contemporary gynecology and obstetrics. In fact, it is not only a relevant complication of pregnancy, but is also a significant reproductive disorder affecting around 5% of couples desiring a child. The current knowledge on RPL is largely incomplete, since nearly 50% of RPL cases are still classified as unexplained. Emerging evidence indicates that the endometrium is a key tissue involved in the correct immunologic dialogue between the mother and the conceptus, which is a condition essential for the proper establishment and maintenance of a successful pregnancy. The immunologic events occurring at the maternal-fetal interface within the endometrium in early pregnancy are extremely complex and involve a large array of immune cells and molecules with immunoregulatory properties. A growing body of experimental studies suggests that endometrial immune dysregulation could be responsible for several, if not many, cases of RPL of unknown origin. The present article reviews the major immunologic pathways, cells, and molecular determinants involved in the endometrial dysfunction observed with specific application to RPL.

Loss of endometrial plasticity in recurrent pregnancy loss (RNA-Seq)

Project description:In order to try and identify characteristics of gene expression in the endometrium of women suffering infertility or recurrenty miscarriage, we performed RNAseq on endometrial pipelle biopsies from 20 women. The endometrial transcriptome in the mid-luteal phase of the cycle (window of implantation) is highly divergent in women suffering infertility or miscarriages. 20 mid-luteal endometrial biopsies were analysed from infertile women and patients suffering recurrent pregnancy loss.

Loss of endometrial plasticity in recurrent pregnancy loss (MeDIP-Seq)

Project description:Decidual transformation of the human endometrium is not dependent on embryo implantation. Instead, this process is initiated during the mid-luteal phase of each cycle in response to the postovulatory rise in progesterone and increasing endometrial cAMP levels. Consequently, decidualization is a reiterative process directly linked to cyclic activation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and subsequent differentiation into mature stromal cells in regenerating endometrium. We reasoned that aberrant remodeling of the HESC epigenome would disrupt decidualization in RPL patients and account for the functional memory of HESCs in culture. To explore this possibility, we performed MeDIP-seq, which involves immunoprecipitation of DNA with a 5-methylcytosine antibody followed by deep sequencing, on primary HESC cultures established from four RPL patients and four control subjects. Eight samples were analyzed: derived from four control and four recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patient cultures.

RNA sequencing of endometrial glands during the implantation window in women with recurrent pregnancy loss

Project description:This study sought to determine whether an endometrial gland specific transcriptome and splicing profile are altered in the window of implantation (days 21-23 of the menstrual cycle) in women with recurrent pregnancy loss. Our data provide a comprehensive catalogue of gene isoforms and relative exon usage in endometrial glands. The endometrial gland targets identified in this study could be used to identify a perturbed endometrium, isolate causes of recurrent pregnancy loss and develop targeted therapies in personalised medicine.
