Project description:Progesterone (P4) is essential to prepare the endometrium for a successful pregnancy. While P4 resistance is a major cause of infertility that leads to endometrial disorders, such as endometriosis, the underlying epigenetic imbalance responsible for P4 resistance in the endometrium remains unclear. We demonstrated that CXXC finger protein 1 (CFP1), a major mediator of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4m3), is an indispensable factor in the maintenance of epigenetic landscapes of P4-progesterone receptor (PGR) signaling networks in the uterus. Cfp1flox/flox;Pgr-Cre (Cfp1d/d) mice suffered from impaired P4 responses, leading to abnormal uterine cell proliferation and complete failure of embryo implantation and decidualization, albeit regular estrous cycle with normal hormone profiles. mRNA and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analyses showed that CFP1 binding enriches promoter regions to regulate uterine mRNA landscapes not only in H3K4me3-dependent but also in H3K4me3-independent manners. Especially, CFP1 directly regulates subsets of important P4 response genes, including Gata2, Sox17, and Ihh, which mediate the activation of the smoothened signaling pathway in the uterus. P4 cannot interfere with E2 actions on uterine epithelial proliferation in Cfp1d/d mice, which was restored by supplementing a smoothened agonist (SAG). Furthermore, ectopic lesions of Cfp1d/d uterus in an endometriosis model showed P4 resistance, which was rescued by SAG. In human endometriosis, CFP1, GATA2, SOX17, and IHH, were significantly downregulated, and a positive correlation was found in the expression levels between CFP1 and these P4 targets regardless of PGR levels. Collectively, we suggest that CFP1 is an epigenetic modulator of P4-PGR signaling networks to promote uterine receptivity for embryo implantation and suppress endometriosis with P4 resistance. CFP1 is a key epigenetic factor that intervenes in the P4–epigenome–transcriptome networks for uterine function under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.
