Effect of depletion of TCF23 on myometrium transcriptome profile during late pregnancy

ABSTRACT: TCF23 is a basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor lacking a DNA binding domain with a C-terminal mediated inhibitory action. Tcf23 was significantly induced by progesterone but not estradiol in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the biological role of Tcf23, we generated the Tcf23 knockout mouse. Although pregnant Tcf23 KO mice were able to maintain gestation until full term, a considerable proportion of KO females experienced delayed parturition, dystocia, and reduced litter outcomes, with a high incidence of resorption and fetal lethality. Morphological analysis of the pregnant uterus revealed aberrant disruption of both circular and longitudinal myometrial layers and disarrayed extracellular matrix at the conceptus sites in the KO mice. Transcriptome profile analysis of the KO myometrium demonstrated disruptions in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM), and gap junction signaling, indicating the crucial role of TCF23 in myometrial remodeling and preparation for contractility during late pregnancy. Altogether, our research highlights a novel cause for labor dysfunction mediated by loss of Tcf23 activity in murine uterine tissue.

Genome-wide chromatin conformation capture of the term pregnant human myometrial specimens

Project description:Timely control of parturition is crucial for maternal and fetal health. Failures on this biological process often result in pregnancy complications including preterm birth, labor dystocia, and health disorders on newborn babies. The myometrium is the muscular structure of the uterus maintaining uterine structural integrity and providing contractile force for parturition. The myometrial structure changes in adaptation to the pregnancy via stage-specific transcriptomic profiles. Data from the mouse model indicate that changes of myometrial epigenomic landscape precedes the adoption of stage-specific gene expression pattern at term. The present study documents the chromatin interaction profiles in the term pregnant not in labor human myometrial tissues at a genome-wide scale.

Lysyl Oxidases are Necessary for Myometrial Contractility and On-Time Parturition in Mice

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue mechanical homeostasis. Collagens and elastic fibers are the most predominant fibrous ECM proteins providing tissue mechanical function through covalent cross-linking, which is mediated by the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes. In this study, the function of lysyl oxidases in maintaining the integrity of the extracellular matrix in the myometrium and its impact on parturition-timing was investigated. Gene and protein expression analyses demonstrate that a subset of the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes are highly induced in pregnant myometrium. Inhibition of the activity of the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes through β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) delays parturition in mice, in part because of myometrial dysfunction. In BAPN-treated mice, the expression of genes encoding contraction-associated proteins such as connexin 43, oxytocin receptor, and prostaglandin synthase 2, is significantly reduced in the myometrium compared to the untreated control mice. Proteomic analysis revealed that the composition of the ECM is altered in response to BAPN treatment, which demonstrates that the inhibition of the activity of lysyl oxidases disrupted the integrity of the myometrial ECM. Our findings demonstrate that the lysyl oxidases-mediated ECM function is necessary for the myometrium to transition from a quiescent to a contractile phenotype at term for on-time parturition.

Comparison of the in vivo transcriptome of the myometrium exposed to mifepristone vs vehicle

Project description:Circulating progesterone (P4) levels decline before the onset of parturition in most animals, but not in humans. This has led to the suggestion that there is functional withdrawal of P4 action at the myometrial level prior to labor onset. However, to date, no evidence of a loss of P4 function has been provided. Mifepristone is a mixed progesterone and glucocorticoid receptor antagonist that is frequently used to induce human labor. However, its effect on the myometrial tissue transcriptome hs not been determined. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of mifepristone treatment on the pregnant myometrium at term in order to better understand the possible mechanisms underlying the loss of P4 function in human labor.

Transcriptomic profiles of nonpregnant and term pregnant human myometrial tissues

Project description:The myometrium undergoes structural and functional remodeling during pregnancy. We hypothesize that myometrial genomic elements alter correspondingly in preparation for parturition. Human myometrial tissues from nonpregnant (NP) and term pregnant (TP) human subjects were subject to RNAseq, ATAC-seq and PGR ChIP-seq assays to profile transcriptome, assessible genome and PGR occupancy.

Myometrial Progesterone Receptor Isoform B Regulates the Phospholipase C Pathway and Suppresses Uterine Contractility

Project description:Uterine contractile dysfunction leads to pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and labor dystocia. Progesterone is necessary to suppress uterine contractions to prevent premature labor. As humans maintain high levels of progesterone throughout parturition, a functional progesterone withdrawal hypothesis suggests that relative levels of myometrial progesterone receptor isoforms PGR-A and PGR-B switch at parturition, where PGR-B promotes a relaxed state and PGR-A result in increased uterine contractility. Our objective is to determine the effects of altered levels of PGR-B and PGR-A in the mouse myometrium on pregnancy and parturition using transgenic mouse models in which the relative levels of these isoforms are altered specifically in the myometrium. Overexpression of PGR-B is associated with a markedly increased gestational length compared to control mice. In both ex vivo and in vivo experiments, myometrium of PGR-B overexpressing mice have prolonged labor, a significant decrease in uterine contractility, and a high incidence of labor dystocia. Conversely, overexpression of PGR-A is associated with an increase in uterine contractility without a change in gestational length. Uterine RNAseq at mid-pregnancy identified isoform-specific downstream targets and genes that were commonly regulated by both PGR isoforms. Gene signature analyses further revealed that PGR-B promotes muscle relaxation and that PGR-A is pro-inflammation. High levels of PGR-B manifest a genetic profile of a blunted phospholipase C pathway that mediates oxytocin and angiotensin II induced muscle contraction. These findings provided in vivo support that PGR isoform levels determine distinct transcriptomic landscapes and pathways in myometrial function and labor.
