Loss of the repressor REST affects progesterone receptor function and promotes uterine leiomyoma pathogenesis [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Uterine Leiomyomas (UL) are benign tumors that arise in the myometrium of the uterus. The standard treatment option for UL is hysterectomy but hormonal treatment options are emerging in the field. However, since the pathogenesis of UL is poorly understood, hallmarks that predict long-term efficacy and safety of these treatment options remain largely undefined. We have reported previously that REST/NRSF target genes are aberrantly expressed due to the near ubiquitous loss of this epigenetic repressor in UL tumors. We show that ablation of Rest in the mouse uterus leads to UL phenotype and altered response to steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone. Additionally, we demonstrate that a large number of REST target genes dysregulated in UL as well as in Rest cKO mice, are also targets of progesterone receptor (PR). Importantly, we identify a direct interaction between REST and PR in the healthy myometrium. Rest cKO mouse model phenocopies human UL, including gene expression profiles of UL as well as tumor formation in the myometrium. Our findings emphasize the critical role loss of REST plays in disease pathogenesis and the altered response to steroid hormones seen in UL.

METTL3-dependent m6A methylation facilitates uterine receptivity and female fertility via balancing estrogen and progesterone signaling

Project description:To investigate the effect of Mettl3 in the uterus, we generated mice with conditional ablation of Mettl3 in progesterone receptor (PR)–positive cells (PgrCre Mettl3 fl/fl). And the uterus of Mettl3 cKO and control mice on GD4 were obtained for RNA-seq analysis.

Gene expression profiling of mouse uterine tissue from progesterone receptor-Cre knockout of Dicer

Project description:Epithelial-stromal interactions in the uterus are required for normal uterine functions such as pregnancy, and multiple signaling pathways are essential for this process. Although Dicer and microRNAs (miRNA) have been implicated in several reproductive processes, the specific role of Dicer and miRNA in uterine development is not known. To address the roles of miRNA in the regulation of these key uterine pathways, we generated a conditional knockout (cKO) of Dicer in the postnatal uterine epithelium and stroma using progesterone receptor (PR)-Cre. These Dicer cKO are sterile with small uteri, which demonstrate significant defects including absence of glandular epithelium and enhanced stromal apoptosis, beginning at postnatal day 15 with expression of Cre and deletion of Dicer. Although these mice had normal serum steroid hormone levels, critical uterine signaling pathways, including progesterone-responsive genes, Indian hedgehog signaling, and the Wnt/Beta-catenin canonical pathway, were dysregulated at the mRNA level.

Selective suppression of endothelial cytokine production by progesterone receptor [RNA-seq]

Project description:Steroid hormones are well-recognized suppressors of the inflammatory response, however, their cell- and tissue-specific effects in the regulation of inflammation are far less understood, particularly for the sex-related steroids. To determine the contribution of progesterone in the endothelium, we have characterized and validated an in vitro culture system in which human umbilical vein endothelial cells constitutively express human progesterone receptor (PR). Using next generation RNA-sequencing, we identified a selective group of cytokines that are suppressed by progesterone both under physiological conditions and during pathological activation by lipopolysaccharide. In particular, IL-6, IL-8, CXCL2/3, and CXCL1 were found to be direct targets of PR, as determined by ChIP-sequencing. Regulation of these cytokines by progesterone was also confirmed by bead-based multiplex cytokine assays and quantitative PCR. These findings provide a novel role for PR in the direct regulation of cytokine levels secreted by the endothelium. They also suggest that progesterone-PR signaling in the endothelium directly impacts leukocyte trafficking in PR-expressing tissues Examination of PR target genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using RNA-seq PR infected only (PR); PR infected followed by ligand treatment (PR+P); PR infected followed by 4h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_8h); PR infected followed by 4h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_8h)

Hormone Control Regions mediate steroid receptor-dependent genome organizations

Project description:In breast cancer cells, some topologically associating domains (TADs) behave as hormonal gene regulation units, within which genes transcription is coordinately regulated in response to steroid hormones. Here we further described that responsive TADs contain 20-100 kb-long clusters of intermingled estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) binding sites, hereafter called Hormone-Control Regions (HCRs). In T47D cells, we identified more than 200 HCRs, which are frequently bound by unliganded ER and PR. These HCRs establish steady long-distance inter-TAD interactions between them and organize characteristic looping structures with promoters even in the absence of hormones in ER+-PR+ cells. This organization is dependent on the expression of the receptors and is further dynamically modulated in response to steroid hormones. HCRs function as platforms integrating different signals resulting in some cases in opposite transcriptional responses to estrogens or progestins. Altogether, these results suggest that steroid hormone receptors act not only as hormone-regulated sequence-specific transcription factors, but also as local and global genome organizers.

Transcriptional dynamics of the cycling mouse uterus

Project description:The adult uterus regenerates in the human during the menstrual cycle, and remodels in the mouse during the estrous cycle. Decades of work has demonstrated that this process is controlled by cycling steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone. However, downstream signaling pathways that link hormonal action to this regeneration and remodeling are yet to be identified in the cycling uterus. We set out to identify these pathways, with the overarching hypothesis that developmental signaling pathways are redeployed in the adult uterus to control remodeling in the mouse.

Genomic agonism and phenotypic antagonism between estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer. [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcriptomic changes and estrogen and progesterone receptor binding in multiple ER+/PR+ models (eight ER+/PR+ patient tumors, various T47Ds, ZR75) and multiple ER+/PR-negative models (four ER+/PR- patient tuumors, PR-deficient T47D and MCF7 cells) treated with various hormone combinations. Results: In isolation, estrogen and progestin act as genomic agonists by regulating the expression of common target genes in similar directions, but at different levels. Similarly, in isolation, progestin is also a weak phenotypic agonist of estrogen action. However, in the presence of both hormones, progestin behaves as a phenotypic estrogen antagonist. PR remodels nucleosomes to noncompetitively redirect ER genomic binding to distal enhancers enriched for BRCA1 binding motifs and sites that link PR and ER/PR complexes. Importantly, when both hormones are present, progestin modulates estrogen action such that responsive transcriptomes, cellular processes and ER/PR recruitment to genomic sites correlate with those observed with PR alone, but not ER alone. Conclusions: Genomic Agonism and Phenotypic Antagonism between Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Breast Cancer. Individual and concerted actions of ER and PR highlight the prognostic and therapeutic value of PR in ER+/PR+ breast cancers. ER+/PR+ and ER+/PR-deficient model systems were deprived of steroids by culturing them in phenol red free RPMI 1640 media that is supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Subsequently, these steroid-deprived models were treated with either vehicle, 10 nM estradiol, 10 nM progestin R5020 or 10 nM of both the hormones and genomics (ChIP-seq and RNA-seq) was performed. ChIP-seq was done after 45 minutes of hormone treatments. For cell models, RNA-seq was done after 12 hours of hormone treatments. Tumor explants were treated with either 24 or 48 hours.
