Spatiotemporal insight into early pregnancy governed by immune-featured stromal cells [Spatial Transcriptomics]

ABSTRACT: Endometrial decidualization connecting embryo implantation and placentation is transient but essential for successful pregnancy, which, however, is not systematically investigated. Here, we use a scStereo-seq technology to spatially visualize and deﬁne the dynamic functional decidual hubs assembled by distinct immune, endothelial, trophoblast, and decidual stromal cells (DSCs) in early pregnant mice. We unravel the DSC transdifferentiation trajectory and surprisingly discover a dual-featured type of immune-featured DSCs (iDSCs). We ﬁnd that immature DSCs attract immune cells and induce decidual angiogenesis at the mesenchymalepithelial transition hub during decidualization initiation. iDSCs enable immune cell recruitment and suppression, govern vascularization, and promote cytolysis at immune cell assembling and vascular hubs, respectively, to establish decidual homeostasis at a later stage. Interestingly, dysfunctional and spatially disordered iDSCs cause abnormal accumulation of immune cells in the vascular hub, which disrupts decidual hub speciﬁcation and eventually leads to pregnancy complications in DBA/2-mated CBA/J mice.

Spatiotemporal insight into early pregnancy governed by immune-featured stromal cells [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Endometrial decidualization connecting embryo implantation and placentation is transient, but essential for successful pregnancy, which however is not systematically investigated. Here, by using a novel single-cell spatial transcriptomic profiling technology (scStereo-seq), we were able to visualize and define key and dynamic functional decidual hubs assembled by distinct immune, endothelial, trophoblast and decidual stromal cells (DSCs) during early pregnancy in mice. We classified DSC subclusters and described their transdifferentiation trajectory controlled by transcription factor cascades. Interestingly, we discovered a novel type of DSCs expressing immune cell-specific genes, termed immune DSCs (iDSCs). Whereas immature DSCs attracted immune cells and induced decidual angiogenesis at the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) hub during decidualization initiation, iDSCs enabled immune cell recruitment, angiogenesis facilitation and cytotoxic effect induction to form immune cell assembling and angiogenesis hubs, which eventually allow decidual homeostasis maintenance and decidualization-to-placentation transition. We spatiotemporally decode mouse early pregnancy events controlled by immune DSCs.

Bone marrow-derived progenitors become decidual cells and are essential for implantation and pregnancy maintenance

Project description:The pregnant decidua is infiltrated by many immune cells which are thought to originate in the bone marrow (BM) promoting pregnancy. In addition, BM-derived progenitor cells (BMDPCs) become non-hematopoietic endometrial cells. However, whether BMDPCs become non-immune decidual cells and their functional contribution to pregnancy were previously unknown. Here, we show that embryo implantation stimulates vast BMDPCs recruitment to decidua, where BMDPCs differentiate into non-hematopoietic stromal decidual cells. In addition, to determine the functional importance of BMDPCs to pregnancy, we used mice with endometrial stromal-specific defects precluding successful pregnancy. BM transplant (BMT) from wild-type (WT) into Hoxa11-/- mice, which lack decidualization, results in uterine transcriptional changes leading to stromal expansion, gland formation, and marked decidualization otherwise absent in Hoxa11-/- mice. By contrast, BMT from Hoxa11-/- into WT mice induces pregnancy loss. Importantly, in Hoxa11+/- mice, which have increased pregnancy losses, BMT from WT donors leads to normalized expression of numerous decidualization-related genes and rescue of pregnancy loss. Collectively, these findings reveal that BMDPCs have a novel non-hematopoietic physiologic contribution to decidual stroma, thereby playing indispensable roles in pregnancy establishment and maintenance.

Proteomic profiling of human decidual immune proteins during Toxoplasma gondii infection

Project description:A Toxoplasma gondii infection during pregnancy can result in spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, or congenital fetal defects. The decidual immune system plays a critical role in regulating the immune micro-environment and in the induction of immune tolerance. To better understand the factors that mediate the decidual immune response associated with the T. gondii infection, a large-scale study employing TMT proteomics was conducted to characterize the differential decidual immune proteomes from infected and uninfected human decidual immune cells samples. The decidual immune cells from 105 human voluntary abortion tissues were purified, and of the 5510 unique proteins identified, 181 proteins were found to be differentially abundant (>1.2-fold cutoff, P＜0.05) in the T. gondii-infected decidual immune cells. 11 proteins of 181 differentially expressed proteins associated with trophoblast invasion, placental development, intrauterine fetal growth, and immune tolerance were verified using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. This systematic research identified a broad range of immune factors in human decidual immune cells, shedding a new insight into the decidual immune molecular mechanism for abnormal pregnancy outcomes associated with T. gondii infection.

DECIDUALIZATION INDUCES A SECRETOME SWITCH IN THE PERIVASCULAR NICHE CELLS OF THE HUMAN ENDOMETRIUM

Project description:The endometrial perivascular microenvironment is rich in mesenchymal stem-like cells that express type 1 integral membrane protein Sushi domain containing 2 (SUSD2) but the role of these cells in the decidual transformation of this tissue in pregnancy is unknown. We used an antibody directed against SUSD2 (W5C5) to isolate perivascular (W5C5+) and non-perivascular (W5C5-) fibroblasts from mid-luteal biopsies. We show that SUSD2 expression, and hence the ratio of W5C5+ to W5C5- cells, changes in culture depending on cell-cell contact and activation of the Notch signaling pathway. RNA sequencing revealed that cultures derived from W5C5+ progenitor cells remain phenotypically distinct by the enrichment of novel and established endometrial perivascular signature genes. In an undifferentiated state, W5C5+-derived cells produced lower levels of various chemokines and inflammatory modulators when compared to their W5C5- counterparts. This divergence in secretomes became more pronounced upon decidualization, which transformed perivascular W5C5+ cells into the dominant source of a range of trophic and immunomodulatory cytokines, including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Our findings indicate that the decidual response is spatially organized with differentiating perivascular cells establishing distinct cytokine and chemokine gradients that could direct trophoblast towards maternal vessels and govern local immune responses in pregnancy. Analysis of paired human endometrial stromal cultures, originating from either W5C5+ or W5C5- cells, from four biological replicates - a total of 8 samples - by Illumina RNAseq.

Transcriptomic profiling of canine decidualization and effects evoked by antigestagens on decidualized canine uterine stromal cells

Project description:Maternal-stroma derived decidual cells are the single population in the canine placenta expressing the nuclear progesterone (P4) receptor (PGR), rendering them crucial for the maintenance of canine pregnancy. Indeed, decreased circulating P4 levels or blockage of PGR function with antigestagens (e.g., aglepristone), culminates in the termination of canine pregnancy. As an in vitro model for canine decidualization, dog uterine stromal (DUS; Graubner et al., 2017) cells can be decidualized in vitro with cAMP. The antigestagens aglepristone and mifepristone ablate the expression of decidualization markers in DUS cells (e.g., PGR, PRLR, IGF1 or PTGES). In order to study the mechanisms involved in feto-maternal communication during pregnancy and induction of parturition, the goal of the present work was to assess transcriptional changes mediated by decidualization and antigestagens-induced effects in decidualized DUS cells. Decidualization led to the upregulation of 1841 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, P < 0.01, FDR < 0.01) involved in cellular proliferation and adhesion, mesenchymal-epithelial transition, extracellular matrix organization, and vaso- and immunomodulation. The 1475 DEGs downregulated after decidualization were mostly associated with apoptosis and cell migration. In decidualized DUS cells, aglepristone modulated 1400 DEGs and mifepristone 1558 DEGs. Interestingly, only around half of the identified DEGs were modulated uniquely by one of the antigestagens. In both situations, however, PGR-blockage was associated with an inversion of decidualization-induced effects. Comparison between antigestagens-mediated effects and transcriptional changes in the canine placenta at term allowed the identification of 191 DEGs associated with cell proliferation and adhesion, vascularization and immune activity. These findings emphasize the importance of P4/PGR signaling for decidual cells function.
