Project description:Human endometrial organoid cultures were established from the decidual samples. We analyzed the global expression profiles of the endometrial organoids. Next, we determined the global expression patterns upon estrogen treatment and compared them to untreated controls.
Project description:To investigate the effects of different substrates on human endometrial organoids , we compared the transcriptomes of EMO cultured within Matrigel and collagen-based gels.
Project description:The inner lining of the human uterus, termed the endometrium, is replete with glands that are hypothesized to be important for establishment of pregnancy through interactions with other endometrial cells and the embryo. A three-dimensional culture system was utilized to establish and generate endometrial epithelial organoids from normal human endometrium that display long-term expandability, can be cryopreserved, and are hormone responsive. Here, single cell RNA-seq was used to create a high-resolution gene expression atlas of the endometrial epithelial organoids and to define responsiveness to reproductive hormones.
Project description:A limitation of current methods for the generation of endometrial gland organoids is their reliance on decidua isolated from endometrial biopsies or elective abortion. Here we report the establishment of endometrial gland organoids from decidua isolated from term placental membranes. These organoids express typical markers of glandular epithelia such as E-cadherin, Laminin and Cytokeratin 7, and can be propagated in cell culture through multiple passages. Additionally, we identified potential survival factors for the co-culture of organoids and endometrial stromal fibroblasts. These modifications facilitate the generation of patient-specific endometrial gland organoids with known pregnancy outcomes.
Project description:Patient-derived endometrial cancer organoids. The data was used to compare gene expression profile between organoids, and to explore whether an organoid-derived gene signature could predict disease outcomes in independent patient cohorts.

Project description:We generated scaffold-free endometrial organoids from human primary endometrial tissues. These organoids were subjected to stepwise hormone treatments for 14 days mimicking the proliferative phase of menstrual cycle or with constantly high testosterone mimicking PCOS conditions
