Project description:The development and progression of endometriotic lesions are poorly understood, but immune cell dysfunction and inflammation are closely associated with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. A lack of suitable 3D in vitro models permitting the study of interactions between cell types and the microenvironment is a contributing factor. To address this limitation, we developed endometriotic organoids (EO) to explore the role of epithelial-stromal interactions and model peritoneal cell invasion associated with lesion development. Using a non-adherent microwell culture system, spherical organoids were generated with endometriotic epithelial cells (12Z) combined with immortalized endometriotic stromal cells (iEc-ESC) or immortalized uterine stromal cells (iHUF). Organoids self-organized with stromal cells occupying the center and epithelial cells on the periphery of the organoid. Endometriotic organoids (EO), containing iEc-ESC, resulted in the development of stratified 12Z epithelial cells compared to those with iHUF where the 12Z cells developed as a single layered epithelium. Transcriptomic analysis found 4,522 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between EO and 12Z/iHUF organoids, and the top DEG included increased expression of interleukins and prostaglandin synthase enzymes. An overlap of the EO DEG with baboon endometriotic lesions was highly significant. Finally, to mimic invasion of endometrial tissue into the peritoneum, a model was developed using EO and extracellular matrix containing human peritoneal mesothelial cells (LP9). Invasion of EO into the extracellular matrix-LP9 layer was increased in presence of estrogen or THP1-derived proinflammatory macrophages. Taken together, our results strongly support the concept that EO are an appropriate model for dissecting mechanisms that contribute to endometriotic lesion development.

Project description:miRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to investigate endometriosis lesion-specific miRNA expression profiles by comparing a set of paired samples of peritoneal endometriotic lesions and matched healthy surrounding tissue together with eutopic endometrium of the same patients. We found that miRNAs of surrounding peritoneal tissue mask most of the miRNA expression differences that could originate from endometriotic tissue and thus only miRNAs with significantly different levels in the endometriotic lesions compared to peritoneal tissue were detected. According to the results of this study, two miRNAs – miR-34c and miR-449a showed remarkably higher expression in lesions compared to healthy tissue.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify cell type-specific gene expression changes in superficial peritoneal endometriotic lesions and elucidate the crosstalk among the stroma, epithelium, and macrophages compared to patient-matched eutopic endometrium. Surprisingly, comparison between lesions and eutopic endometrium revealed transcriptional similarities, indicating minimal alterations in the sub-epithelial stroma and epithelium of lesions. Spatial transcriptomics (NanoString GeoMx) highlighted increased signaling between the lesion epithelium and macrophages, emphasizing the role of the epithelium in driving lesion inflammation. We propose that the superficial endometriotic lesion epithelium orchestrates inflammatory signaling and promotes a pro-repair phenotype in macrophages, providing a new role for Complement 3 in lesion pathobiology. This study underscores the significance of considering spatial context and cellular interactions in uncovering mechanisms governing disease in endometriotic lesions.

Project description:The individualized treatment of tumors has always been an urgent problem in clinical practice. Organoids-on-a-chip can reflect the heterogeneity of tumors and is a good model for in vitro anticancer drug screening. In this study, surgical specimens of patients with advanced colorectal cancer will be collected for organoid culture and organoids-on-a- chip. Use organoids-on-a-chip to screen tumor chemotherapy drugs, compare the results of patients’ actual medication regimens, and study the guiding role of organoids in the formulation of precise tumor treatment plans. The investigators will compare the response of organoids to drugs in vitro with the patient’s response to actual chemotherapy and targeted drugs and explore the feasibility and accuracy of organoids-on-a-chip based drug screening for advanced colorectal cancer. The project will establish a screening platform for chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted drugs based on colorectal cancer organoids to quickly and accurately formulate personalized treatment plans for clinical patients.

To address this limitation, we developed endometriotic organoids (EO) to explore the role of epithelial-stromal interactions and model peritoneal cell invasion associated with lesion development (GSE202661). These organoids were compared to spontaneous endometriotic lesions from baboons (Papio anubis).

Project description:To identify specific markers of rectovaginal endometriotic nodule vasculature, highly enriched preparations of vascular endothelial cells and pericytes were obtained from endometriotic nodules and control endometrial and myometrial tissue by laser capture microdissection (LCM), and gene expression profiles were screened by microarray analysis. Of the 18,400 transcripts on the arrays, 734 were significantly overexpressed in vessels from fibromuscular tissue and 923 in vessels from stromal tissue of endometriotic nodules, compared to vessels dissected from control tissues. The most frequently expressed transcripts included known endothelial cell-associated genes, as well as transcripts with little or no previous association with vascular cells. The higher expression in blood vessels was further corroborated by immunohistochemical staining of 6 potential markers, 5 of which showed strong expression in pericytes. The most promising marker was matrix Gla protein, which was found to be present in both glandular epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells of endometriotic lesions, while it was barely expressed at all in normal endometrium.

Project description:The pathophysiology of endometriotic lesion development remains unclear but involves a complex interaction between ectopic endometrium and host peritoneal tissues. We hypothesised that disruption of this interaction was likely to suppress endometriotic lesion formation. We hoped to delineate the molecular and cellular dialogue between ectopic human endometrium and peritoneal tissues in nude mice, as a first step towards testing this hypothesis. Human endometrium was xenografted into nude mice and the resulting lesions were analysed using microarrays. A novel technique was developed that unambiguously determined whether RNA transcripts identified by the microarray analyses originated from human cells (endometrium) or mouse cells (stroma). Four key pathways (ubiquitin/proteosome, inflammation, tissue remodelling/repair and ras-mediated oncogenesis) were revealed, that demonstrated communication between host stromal cells and ectopic endometrium. Morphometric analysis of nude mouse lesions confirmed that necrosis, inflammation, healing and repair and cell proliferation occurred during xenograft development. These processes were entirely consistent with the molecular networks revealed by the microarray data. The transcripts detected in the xenografts overlapped with transcripts differentially expressed in a comparison between paired eutopic and ectopic endometrium from human endometriotic patients. For the first time components of the interaction between ectopic endometrium and peritoneal stromal tissues have been revealed in ectopic endometrial lesions. Targeted disruption of this dialogue is likely to disrupt endometriotic tissue formation and may prove to be an effective therapeutic strategy for endometriosis. Experiment Overall Design: Xenografts of human endometrium in nude mice hybridised to both human and mouse specific genechips. 2 biological replicates, at 3 time points. Control human endometrium and mouse pertioneum were hybridised to both human and mouse genechips

Project description:Gene expression changes of human colon orgnaoids by 60weeks of inflammatory stimulation in vitro (long-term inflammed organoids) and after 10weeks from the removal of stimulation (inflammation-removed organoids). GSEA analysis was performed about RNA1-9 (Organoids #1). For the reproducibility of the analysis, GSEA was performed in triplicate. The key molecule for long-term inflammation was extracted from RNA10-12 (Organoids #2). The comparison of gene expression of organoids derived from normal(RNA1-3) and UC mucosa(RNA13-15). For the reproducibility, the analysis was performed in triplicate.

Project description:Our understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and their upstream regulators, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model of endometriosis in which decidualized endometrial tissue fragments are transferred to subcutaneous sites in recipient mice to mimic endometriosis lesions, we have generated a comprehensive profile of gene expression in decidualized endometrial tissue (n=4), and endometriosis-like lesions at Day 7 (n=4) and Day 14 (n=4) of lesion formation. High throughput mRNA sequencing allowed identification of genes and pathways involved in the initiation and progression of endometriosis-like lesions. We found distinct patterns of gene expression with substantial differences between the lesions and the decidualized endometrium from which they arose, but no differentially expressed genes between the two lesion timepoints. The transcriptional changes at the outset of lesion formation indicated substantial upregulation of immune response-associated canonical pathways. Pathway enrichment analysis indicates multiple potential endogenous upstream regulators, and reveals multiple gene candidates not previously implicated in endometriosis lesion formation suggesting these mediators may have novel roles in disease progression. Collectively, the provided data will be a valuable resource to inform research on the molecular mechanisms contributing to endometriosis development.
