Project description:Endometriosis is a common disease seen by gynecologists. Clinical features involve pelvic pain and unexplained infertility. Although endometriosis is pathologically characterized by endometrial tissue outside the normal uterine location, endometriosis is otherwise not easily explained. Endometriomas, endometriotic cysts of the ovary, typically cause pain and distortion of pelvic anatomy. To begin to understand the pathogenesis of endometriomas, we carried out transcriptome:microRNAome analysis of endometriomas and eutopic endometrium, using gene expression arrays and next generation small RNA sequencing technology. Keywords: two group comparison Patients undergoing surgery for endometriomas, suspected endometriosis, pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic organ prolapse, or uterine leiomyomas were approached for participation. After informed consent, the patients underwent scheduled surgical procedure. Tissues were collected either as cyst wall of endometrioma or endometrial curettage of hysterectomy specimen and placed directly into RNALater (Ambion, Austin, TX) and eventually frozen at -80?C. Samples were designated as endometriomas or non-endometriosis control endometrium based on surgical pathology reports. Total RNA was isolated from frozen tissue. High quality RNA was subjected to Illumina’s Human WG-6 version 2.0 BeadChips (Illumina). . *** This Series represents the transcriptome component of the study. ***

Project description:Endometriosis is characterized by growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus affecting many women during their reproductive age, causing years of pelvic pain and potential infertility. Its pathophysiology remains largely unknown, limiting early diagnosis and treatment. We characterized peritoneal and ovarian lesions at single-cell transcriptome resolution and compared to matched eutopic endometrium, control endometrium, and organoids derived from these tissues, generating data on over 122,000 cells across 14 individuals. We spatially localized many of the cell types using imaging mass cytometry. We identify a perivascular mural cell unique to the peritoneal lesions with dual roles in angiogenesis promotion and immune cell trafficking. We define an immunotolerant peritoneal niche, fundamental differences in eutopic endometrium and between lesions microenvironments, and an unreported progenitor-like epithelial cell subpopulation. Altogether, this study provides a holistic view of the endometriosis microenvironment representing a comprehensive cell atlas of the disease in hormonally treated patients, essential information for advancing therapeutics and diagnostics.

Project description:Endometriosis is a common, chronic inflammatory condition that frequently results in pain and infertility and is estimated to affect 6–10% of women of reproductive age. However, the mechanisms underlying the induction of inflammation in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, we identified that ectopic endometrial T-cell-derived active interleukin (IL)-16 acts as an inflammation-driving cytokine in endometriosis. Furthermore, we found that in ectopic endometrial T cells, the activation of IL-16 requires iron overload-induced caspase-3 activity and that the release of active IL-16 is reliant on GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. These observations suggest that active IL-16 may represent a promising target in the treatment of endometriosis.

Project description:Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic pain and infertility that affects 10% of women of reproductive age. It is currently defined as the presence of endometrial epithelial and stromal cells at ectopic sites; however, advances in endometriosis research have some authors believing that endometriosis should be re-defined as “a fibrotic condition in which endometrial stroma and epithelium can be identified”. microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory molecules that potentially play a role in endometriotic lesion development. There is evidence that suggests that miRNAs, including microRNA-21 (miR-21), participate in fibrotic processes in different organs, including the heart, kidney, liver and lungs. The objective of this study was to understand the role of miR-21 and the mechanisms that can contribute to the development of fibrosis by determining how IL-6 regulates miR-21 expression and how this miRNA regulates the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway to promote fibrosis. We investigated the expression of miR-21 in the baboon and mouse model of endometriosis and its correlation with fibrosis. We demonstrated that inflammation and fibrosis are present at a very early stage of endometriosis and that the inflammatory environment in the peritoneal cavity, which includes interleukin 6 (IL-6), can regulate the expression of miR-21 in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by pain and infertility, where the lesions disseminate everywhere in the body with a preference for the pelvis. In that, it could be regarded as a âbenign metastatic diseaseâ, since its issue is not fatal. However, the molecular bases of this intriguing clinical condition are not well known. The objective of this study is to characterize the transcriptome differences between eutopic vs ectopic endometrium with a special interest in pathways involved in cancerogenesis. We performed two hybridizations in technical replicate on highly specific long oligonucleotides microarrays (NimbleGenâ¢), with cDNA prepared from 6-patients pools, where the same patient provided both eutopic and ectopic endometrium (endometriomas). In order to confirm the expression microarrays data, qRT-PCR validation was performed on 12 individuals for 20 genes. Over 8,000 transcripts were significantly modified (more than twice) in the lesions corresponding to 5,600 down- or up-regulated genes. These were clustered through DAVID Bioinformatics Resources into 55 functional groups. The data are presented in a detailed and visual way on 24 KEGG pathways implemented with induction ratios for each differentially expressed gene. An outstanding control of the cell cycle and a very specific modulation of the HOX genes were observed and provide some new evidence on why endometriosis only very rarely degenerates into cancer. The study constitutes a noteworthy update of gene profiling in endometriosis, by delivering the most complete and reliable list of dysregulated genes to date.

Project description:Mechanisms of immune dysregulation against established tumors are relatively well understood. Much less is known about the role of immune effectors against cancer precursor lesions. Endometrioid and clear cell ovarian tumors may partly derive from endometriosis, a commonly diagnosed chronic inflammatory disease. We performed here the most comprehensive immune gene expression analysis of pelvic inflammation in endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC).

Project description:Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition that causes significant morbidity due to reduced fertility, pelvic pain and inflammatory dysfunctions. High-fat dietary intake has been linked to higher systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which are both features of women with endometriosis. We evaluated the effects of high-fat diet (HFD) on endometriosis progression using immunocompetent mouse model wherein ectopic lesion was induced in wildtype and kruppel-like factor 9 (KLF9)- null donor mice. Results showed that HFD leads to increased ectopic lesion numbers and higher body weight gain. The HFD-promotion of lesion establishment was associated with decreased stromal estrogen receptor 1 and progesterone receptor expression, increased macrophage infiltration, and enhanced expression of pro-inflammarory and pro-oxidative stress pathway genes. Further, lesion-bearing mice had higher peritoneal fluid TNF-α and elevated local/systemic redox status than control-fed mice.

Project description:Endometriosis is a benign disease affecting one in ten women of reproductive age worldwide. Although the pain level is not correlated to the extent of the disease it still is one of the cardinal symptoms strongly affecting the patients’ quality of life. Yet, a molecular mechanism leading to the formation of severe pain remains to be defined. Recent studies have indicated a close interaction between newly generated nerve cells and macrophages, leading to neurogenic inflammation in the pelvic area. In this context, the responsiveness of an endometriotic cell culture model was characterized upon inflammatory stimulation by employing a multi-omics approach, including proteomics and metabolomics. Differential proteomic profiling of the 12-Z endometriotic cell line treated with TNFα and IL1β unexpectedly showed that the inflammatory stimulation was able to induce a protein signature associated with neuroangiogenesis, specifically including neuropilins (NRP1/2). Untargeted metabolomic profiling in the same setup further revealed that the endometriotic cells were capable of the autonomous production of 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (BH2), 7,8-dihydroneopterin and epinephrine. These metabolites are related to the development of neuropathic pain and the former two were even up-regulated upon the inflammatory stimulation. Thus, the inflammatory stimulation of endometriotic 12-Z cells led to protein and metabolite expression changes that strongly suggest a direct involvement of epithelial cells in endometriosis pain development.
