Developmental Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Alters Gene Expression in Myometrium of Exposed Animals

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to compare NGS-derived murine myometrial progenitor cell transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of an animal model of uterine fibroid tumorigenesis in rats exposed during uterine development to an endocrine-disrupting chemical, diethylstilbestrol (DES) versus vehicle (VEH) control, unexposed animals, to determine the pathways and biological processes, whose gene expression may be altered as a result of the exposure.

Transcriptome Analyses of Myometrium from Fibroid Patients Reveals Phenotypic Differences Compared to Non-diseased Myometrium

Project description:Uterine fibroid tissues are often compared to their matched myometrium in an effort to understand their pathophysiology, but it is not clear whether the myometria of uterine fibroid patients represent truly non-disease control tissues. We analyzed the transcriptomes of myometrial samples from non-fibroid patients (M) and from matched myometrial (MF) and fibroid (F) samples to determine whether there is a phenotypic difference between fibroid and non-fibroid myometria. Multidimensional scaling plots revealed that M samples clustered separately from both MF and F samples. A total of 1,169 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (false discovery rate < 0.05) were observed in the MF comparison with M. Overrepresented Gene Ontology terms showed a high concordance of upregulated gene sets in MF compared to M, particularly extracellular matrix and structure organization. Gene set enrichment analyses showed that the leading-edge genes from the TGFβ signaling and inflammatory response gene sets were significantly enriched in MF. Overall comparison of the three tissues by three-dimensional principal component analyses showed that M, MF, and F samples clustered separately from each other and that a total of 732 DEGs from F vs M were not found in the F vs MF, which are likely understudied in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. These results suggest that the transcriptome of MF tissues are different from non-diseased myometrial tissues. Many dysregulated genes were not included in the F vs MF DEGs and may contain key genes for future investigations suggesting that fibroid studies should consider using not only matched myometrium but also non-diseased myometrium as the control.

Transcriptome and DNA Methylome Analyses Reveal Underlying Mechanisms for the Racial Disparity in Uterine Fibroids [EPIC Human Methylation Array]

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal myometrial and fibroid samples. Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) affect Black women disproportionately in terms of prevalence, incidence, and severity of symptoms. The causes of this racial disparity are essentially unknown. We hypothesized that myometria of Black women are more susceptible to developing fibroids and examined the transcriptomic and DNA methylation profiles of myometria and fibroids from Black and White women for comparison. Myometrial samples cluster by race in both their transcriptome and DNA methylation profiles, whereas fibroid samples only cluster by race in the latter. More differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the Black and White myometrial comparison than in the fibroid comparison. Leiomyoma gene set expression analysis showed four different clusters of DEGs, including a cluster with highest expression in Black myometrial samples and elevated in all fibroids. One of the DEGs in this group, VWF, was significantly hypomethylated at two CpG probes near a putative enhancer site in Black myometrial and in all fibroid samples compared with White myometrial samples, suggesting that VWF expression is responsive to DNA hypomethylation, a known stress response. These results suggest that the molecular basis for the disparity in fibroid disease between Black and White women could be found in the myometria before fibroid development and not in the fibroids themselves.

HMGA2 overexpression induces plasticity in myometrial cells and a transcriptomic profile more similar to that of uterine fibroids

Project description:Objective: To study the possible role for HMGA2 overexpression in differentiated myometrial cells and its potential to induce a stem cell-like or dedifferentiating phenotype and drive fibroid development. Design: Myometrial cells were immortalized and transduced with an HMGA2 lentivirus to produce HMGA2hi cells. In vitro stem cell assays were conducted, and ribonucleic acid from HMGA2hi and control cells as well as fibroid-free myometrial and HMGA2 fibroid (HMGA2F) tissues were submitted for ribonucleic acid sequencing. Setting: University research laboratory. Patient(s): Women who underwent hysterectomy for symptomatic uterine fibroids or other gynecological conditions. Intervention(s): Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure(s): In vitro stem cell-like properties from myometrial cell lines. Ribonucleic acid sequencing and collagen production of HMGA2-overexpressing primary leiomyoma tissue and cell lines. Result(s): HMGA2hicellshadenhancedself-renewalcapacity,decreasedproliferation,andagreaterabilitytodifferentiateintoother mesenchymal cell types. HMGA2hi cells exhibited a stem cell-like signature and shared transcriptomic similarities with HMGA2F. Moreover, dysregulated extracellular matrix pathways were observed in both HMGA2hi cells and HMGA2F. Conclusion(s): Our findings show that HMGA2 overexpression may drive myometrial cells to dedifferentiate into a more plastic phenotype and provide evidence for an alternative mechanism for fibroid etiology, suggesting that fibroids arise not only from a mutated stem cell but also from a mutated differentiated myometrial cell.

TGF-β signaling links early-life endocrine-disrupting chemicals exposure to suppression of nucleotide excision repair in rat myometrial stem cells

Project description:Environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is associated with uterine fibroids (UFs) development, the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age. It has been shown that UFs originate from abnormal myometrial stem cells (MMSCs) and there is evidence that defective DNA repair capacity could be involved in the emergence of mutations with implications for tumorigenesis. Moreover, the multifunctional cytokine TGF-β1 has been related to UF progress and some works revealed its connection with certain DNA damage repair pathways. Eker rats develop spontaneous uterine tumors in adulthood, which makes it a useful model for the study of UFs emergence The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs exposure on TGF-β1 pathway and nucleotide excision repair (NER) capacity, on Eker rat myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Transcriptome of human myometrial stem cells in the context of uterine fibroids

Project description:Our study represents a new strategy for identifying drivers and risk factors of uterine fibroids (F) by identifying genes and pathways differentially regulated in myometrial stem cells (SCs) isolated from myometrium without fibroids (MyoN) and from myometrium adjacent to uterine fibroids (MyoF) using RNA-seq approach. Moreover, we will perform the comparison analysis of the transcriptome between MyoF SCs and fibroid SCs to identify differentially expressed genes.

Neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure alters the metabolic profile of uterine epithelial cells.

Project description:Developmental exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) causes reproductive tract malformations, affects fertility and increases the risk of clear cell carcinoma of the vagina and cervix in humans. Previous studies on a well-established mouse DES model demonstrated that it recapitulates many features of the human syndrome, yet the underlying molecular mechanism is far from clear. Using the neonatal DES mouse model, the present study uses global transcript profiling to systematically explore early gene expression changes in individual epithelial and mesenchymal compartments of the neonatal uterus. Over 900 genes show differential expression upon DES treatment in either one or both tissue layers. Interestingly, multiple components of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR gamma)-mediated adipogenic/lipid metabolic pathway, including PPARgamma itself, are targets of DES in the neonatal uterus. TEM and Oil Red O staining further demonstrate a dramatic increase in lipid deposition in the uterine epithelial cells upon DES exposure. Neonatal DES exposure also perturbs glucose homeostasis in the uterine epithelium. Some of these neonatal DES-induced metabolic changes appear to last into adulthood, suggesting a permanent effect of DES on energy metabolism in uterine epithelial cells. This study extends the list of biological processes that can be regulated by estrogen or DES, and provides a novel perspective for endocrine disruptor induced reproductive abnormalities.
