PGE2 mediated gene expression changes in human cervical stromal cells

ABSTRACT: The cervix represents a formidable structural barrier for successful induction of labor. Approximately 10% of pregnancies undergo induction of cervical ripening and labor with prostaglandin (PG) E2 or PGE analogs, often requiring many hours of hospitalization and monitoring. On the other, preterm cervical ripening in the second trimester predicts preterm birth. The regulatory mechanisms of this paradoxical function of the cervix are unknown. Here, we show that PGE2 utilizes cell-specific EP2 receptor-mediated increases in Ca2+ to dephosphorylate and translocate HDAC4 to the nucleus for repression of 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH). The crucial role of 15-PGDH in cervical ripening was confirmed in vivo. Although PGE2 or PGDH inhibitor alone did not alter gestational length, treatment with PGDH inhibitor+PGE2 or metabolism-resistant dimethyl-PGE2 resulted in preterm cervical ripening and delivery in mice. The ability of PGE2 to selectively auto-amplify its own concentrations in stromal cells by signaling transcriptional repression of 15-PGDH elucidates long-sought-after molecular mechanisms that govern prostaglandin action in the cervix. This is the first report detailing unique mechanisms of action in the cervix and serves as a catalyst for (i) the use of PGDH inhibitors to initiate, or amplify low-dose PGE2-mediated cervical ripening, or (ii) EP2 receptor antagonists, HDAC4 inhibitors, and 15-PGDH activators to prevent preterm cervical ripening and preterm birth.

Effect of PGE2 pathway antagonists on APCmin/+ small intestine polyps

Project description:While the role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in promoting malignant progression is well-established, how to optimally block the activity of PGE2 signaling remains to be demonstrated. Clinical trials with prostaglandin pathway targeted agents have shown activity but without sufficient significance or dose-limiting toxicities that have prevented approval. PGE2 signals through four receptors (EP1-4) to modulate tumor progression. EP2 and EP4 signaling exacerbates tumor pathology and is immunosuppressive through potentiating cAMP production. EP1 and EP3 signaling has the opposite effect through increasing IP3 and decreasing cAMP. Using available small molecule antagonists of single EP receptors, the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, or a novel dual EP2/EP4 antagonist generated in this investigation, we tested which approach to block PGE2 signaling optimally restored immunologic activity in mouse and human immune cells and antitumor activity in syngeneic, spontaneous and xenograft tumor models. We found that dual antagonism of EP2 and EP4 together significantly enhanced the activation of PGE2-suppressed mouse and human monocytes and CD8+ T cells in vitro as compared to single EP antagonists. CD8+ T cell activation was dampened by single EP1 and EP3 antagonists. Dual EP2/EP4 PGE2 receptor antagonists increased TME lymphocyte infiltration and significantly reduced disease burden in multiple tumor models, including in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)min+/- spontaneous colorectal tumor model, compared to celecoxib. These results support a hypothesis that redundancy of EP2 and EP4 receptor signaling necessitates a therapeutic strategy of dual blockade of EP2 and EP4. Here we describe TPST-1495, a first-in-class orally available small molecule dual EP2/EP4 antagonist.

Spatial targeting of the prostaglandin receptor EP2 is essential in driving a sustained PGE2-mediated cAMP signaling in the human endometrium

Project description:In a process known as decidualization, progesterone signaling in the human endometrium converges with local cAMP production to drive morphometric and transcriptomic changes that prepare the endometrium for pregnancy. The source of cAMP has been contentious but the prostaglandin PGE2 signaling through EP2, its G-protein coupled receptor, remains a strong candidate. Cells often employ additional receptor regulation to diversify and prolong the cAMP signal and its down-steam effects, most notably through internalization and trafficking of receptors through endosomes. Here, we decidualized cultured endometrial stromal cells for 4-days with PGE2 and MPA (a progestin) and compared transcriptomic profiles with those depleted of either GIPC or APPL1, adaptor proteins involved in trafficking and recycling of EP2 respectively.

Mechanisms of Chorioamnionitis-associated Preterm Birth: Interleukin 1 β inhibits Progesterone Receptor Expression in Decidual Cells

Project description:In chorioamnionitis (CAM), a major cause of preterm birth (PTB), maternal-fetal inflammatory responses in the decidua and amnio-chorion cause the release of cytokines that elicit cervical ripening, fetal membrane rupture and myometrial activation. We posited that this inflammatory milieu can trigger PTB via inhibited progesterone receptor (PR) expression and increased decidual prostaglandin (PG) production. We found significantly lower decidual cell PR levels in CAM-complicated PTB using immunohistochemistry. Decidual cells (DCs) treated with IL-1β displayed decreased PR expression and significantly increased PGE2 and PGF2α production and COX2 expression. While addition of PGF2α to DC cultures was also found to suppress PR expression, the COX inhibitor, indomethacin, did not reverse IL-1β suppression of PR expression in DC cultures. Although IL-1β treatment activated NF-B, ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling cascades in DCs, only inhibition of ERK1/2 MAPK signaling completely reversed IL-1β suppressed PR levels. These findings suggest that CAM-associated PTB is induced at least in part by IL-1β-mediated functional progesterone withdrawal.

Mast Cells Control Lung Type 2 Inflammation via Prostaglandin E2-Driven Soluble ST2.

Project description:Severe asthma and sinus disease is a consequence of Type 2 inflammation (T2I), mediated by IL-33 signaling through its membrane-bound receptor, ST2. Soluble (s)ST2 reduces available IL-33 and limits T2I, but little is known about its regulation. We demonstrate that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) drives production of sST2 to limit features of lung T2I. PGE2 deficient mice display diminished sST2. In humans with severe respiratory T2I, urinary PGE2 metabolites correlate with serum sST2. In mice, PGE2 enhanced sST2 secretion by mast cells (MCs). Mice lacking MCs, ST2 expression by MCs or EP2 receptors by MCs showed reduced sST2 lung concentrations and strong T2I. Recombinant sST2 reduced T2I in mice lacking PGE2 or ST2 expression by MCs back to control levels. PGE2 deficiency also reversed the hyperinflammatory phenotype in mice lacking ST2 expression by MCs. PGE2 thus suppresses T2I through MC-derived sST2, explaining the severe T2I observed in low PGE2 states.

The amniotic fluid proteome improves prediction of imminent delivery relative to quantitative cervical length: a cross-sectional study in women with a short cervix

Project description:For women identified as at risk for preterm birth attributable to a sonographic short cervix, the determination of imminent delivery is crucial for patient management. The current study aimed to identify amniotic fluid proteins that could predict imminent delivery in asymptomatic patients with a short cervix. An aptamer-based multiplex platform was used to profile 1,310 AF proteins, and the significance of protein dysregulation was determined by moderated t-tests between women who destined to deliver within two weeks of amnicentesis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to determine whether protein abundance in combination with cervical length improved the prediction of imminent delivery after amnicentesis as compared to cervical length alone.

In vivo response of microglia to Aβ and prostaglandin-E2 EP2 receptor signaling

Project description:Microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, perform critical inflammatory and non-inflammatory functions to maintain homeostasis and normal neural function. However in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), these beneficial functions become progressively impaired, contributing to synapse and neuron loss and cognitive impairment. The inflammatory cyclooxygenase-PGE2 pathway, including the PGE2 receptor EP2, is implicated in AD development, both in human epidemiology and in transgenic models of AD. To test the transcriptional responses of EP2-deficient microglia to Aβ in vivo, we used mice in which the EP2 receptor is conditionally deleted in microglia using the CD11b-Cre transgene and floxed alleles of the EP2 gene. By injecting these mice with Aβ ICV and isolating microglia from the brains, we have been able to establish the transcriptional response of microglia to Aβ in vivo and test how EP2 deletion in microglia affects this response. 8 month-old C57BL/6 mice, of the genotype CD11b-Cre; EP2+/+ or CD11b-Cre; EP2lox/lox, were injected I.C.V. with either Aβ or vehicle. 48 hours after injection, the mice were sacrificed and transcardially perfused with cold heparinized 0.9% NaCl. Brains were then removed from the mice and pooled, two brains of the same genotype per sample, to ensure adequate cell and RNA yield. The brains were then enzymatically dissociated for microglia isolation using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P), MACS Separation Columns (LS), and magnetic CD11b Microbeads from Miltenyi Biotec according to the manufacturer's protocol. Immediately after isolating the microglia, RNA was extracted from the cells for microarray analysis.
