Project description:Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease. The pathogenesis of chronic pain, the main clinical symptom of adenomyosis, remains undefined. As a combination lymphocyte with both T-cell and NK-cell properties, NKT cells play a role in immune defense against numerous diseases and modulate cell differentiation. This study analyzed tissue-cell samples from adenomyosis with or without pain by single-cell sequencing. We found a specific population of SFRP4+ NKT cells and a large amount of undifferentiated multipotent stem cells in the adenomyosis pain group. We discovered that high expression of IGFBP5 in SFRP4+NKT cells could promote the differentiation of multipotent stem cells into neural-like cells via the single cell trajectory. Verification by sample, the degree of expression of neuronal marker NEFM correlated with duration of pain in adenomyosis patients. The expression of IGFBP5 was positively correlated with the pain scores of adenomyosis patients. Collectively, these findings suggest SFRP4+IGFBP5hi NKT cells were capable of converting part of the stem cells into neurogenic cells and inducing adenomyosis pain.

Project description:The primary aim of this study is to study the molecular changes in the endometrium of women with diffuse adenomyosis at baseline and after treatment with six months of vaginal bromocriptine, as a secondary outcome of a clinical trial. Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBLAC) was used to assess the amount of menstrual bleeding. The results suggest an anti-proliferative effect of bromocriptine in the endometrium in women with adenomyosis achieved by regulating genes associated with glucose metabolism. We speculate that the above mechanism could explain the reduced bleeding and pain observed in women with adenomyosis after bromocriptine treatment.

Project description:Adenomyosis mostly occurs in the females with reproductive age, and the pathogenesis is not clear. If we want to improve the diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis, we must fully understand the specific molecular mechanism of adenomyosis. The Arraystar Human m6a-mRNA&lncRNA Epitranscriptomic microarray analysis was performed on endometrial specimens of 3 patients in the human adenomyosis group and 3 patients in the normal control group to compare and screen the m6A marker of adenomyosis, providing reference for clinical treatment.

Project description:Abstract: Objective: Adenomyosis is a clinical disorder defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, the pathogenesis of which is poorly understood. We postulate that dysregulation of genes and pathways in eutopic endometrium may predispose to ectopic implantation. No study, to our knowledge, has examined the global transcriptome of isolated eutopic endometrium from women with clinically significant adenomyosis. Design: Laboratory-based study with full IRB approval and consents. Material and Methods: Endometrial sampling was performed on hysterectomy specimens (proliferative phase) from symptomatic women with pathologically-confirmed diffuse adenomyosis (n=3). Controls (n=5) were normo-ovulatory subjects without adenomyosis. All subjects were free from leiomyoma, endometriosis, and hormonal exposures. Isolated purified total RNA was subjected to microarray analysis using the Gene 1.0 ST Affymetrix platform. Data were analyzed with GeneSpring and Ingenuity Pathway analysis. Validation of several genes was undertaken by QRT-PCR. Results: Comparison of transcriptomes of proliferative endometrium from women with and without adenomyosis revealed 140 up-regulated and 884 down-regulated genes in samples from women with adenomyosis compared to controls. Highly differentially expressed genes include those involved in regulation of apoptopsis, steroid hormone responsiveness, and proteins involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, as well as microRNAs of unknown significance. Affected canonical pathways included eukaryotic initiation factor 2 signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, estrogen receptor signaling, and mTOR signaling. Conclusions: The eutopic endometrium in patients with adenomyosis has fundamental abnormalities that may predispose to invasion and survival beyond the myometrial interface. Key Words: adenomyosis, endometrium, microarray, microRNA, endometriosis, apoptosis, signaling.

Project description:Objective: Bromocriptine treatment has been shown to reduce menstrual bleeding and pain in women with adenomyosis in a pilot clinical trial. The underlying mechanism contributing to the treatment effect is however unknown. This study was to explore the effect of bromocriptine on the proliferation and migration properties of the endometrium in women with adenomyosis, by assessing cellular and molecular changes after six months of vaginal bromocriptine treatment. Methods: Endometrial specimens were collected during the proliferative phase from women with adenomyosis (n=6) before (baseline) and after six months of vaginal bromocriptine treatment. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine changes in the protein expression of Ki67 in the endometrium. Primary endometrial stromal cells isolated at baseline were expanded in vitro and exposed to different doses of bromocriptine to determine the optimal half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) using CellTiter-Blue® Cell Viability Assay. Cell proliferation was assessed by bromodeoxyuridine ELISA assay and Ki67 gene expression was checked by real-time PCR. The migratory ability of endometrial stromal cells was determined by wound healing and transwell migration assays. Small RNA sequencing was applied on tissues collected from women with adenomyosis before and after bromocriptine treatment to identify differentially expressed micro RNAs. Bioinformatic methods were used for target gene prediction and the identification of biological pathways. Results: Vaginal bromocriptine treatment reduced the Ki67 protein expression in the endometrium of women with adenomyosis and did not change the prolactin mRNA expression and protein concentration of prolactin in endometrial tissues. Bromocriptine significantly inhibited the proliferative and migrative abilities of endometrial stromal cells derived from women with adenomyosis in vitro. Moreover, small RNA sequencing revealed 27 differentially expressed micro RNAs (miRNAs) between the endometrium of women with adenomyosis before and after six months of vaginal bromocriptine treatment. KEGG pathway analysis on targeted genes of 27 miRNAs showed that several signaling pathways associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis were enriched after treatment. Conclusion: Bromocriptine treatment exhibits an anti-proliferative effect in the endometrium of women with adenomyosis in vivo and in vitro. Bromocriptine might inhibit the proliferation of endometrial tissue in adenomyosis in part through the regulation of dysregulated microRNAs and proliferation-associated signaling pathways.

Project description:Adenomyosis, defined as ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, can often be misdiagnosed as multiple uterine leiomyomata or endometrial thickening. We therefore performed a combined mRNA and long noncoding (lnc)RNA microarray and bioinformatic analysis of eutopic and ectopic endometrium in women with adenomyosis to better understand its pathogenesis and help in the development of a semi-invasive diagnostic test. A total of 586 mRNAs were increased and 305 mRNAs decreased in ectopic endometrium of adenomyosis compared with eutopic endometrium, while 388 lncRNA transcripts were up-regulated and 188 down-regulated in ectopic compared with paired eutopic endometrial tissue. Bioinformatic analysis suggested a series of metabolic and molecular abnormalities in adenomyosis, which have many similarities with endometriosis. Furthermore, our study constitutes the first known report of lncRNA expression patterns in human adenomyosis ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissue. Two-condition experiment, ectopic endometrium vs. eutopic endometrium. 3 samples,self-control

Project description:Microglia contribute to the initiation of pain, however, a translationally viable approach addressing how or when to modulate these cells remains elusive. We used a targeted, inducible, genetic microglial depletion strategy at both acute and acute-to-chronic transition phases in the clinically-relevant tibial fracture/casting pain model to determine the contribution of microglia to the initiation and maintenance of pain. We observed complete resolution of pain which coincided with the timeframe of full repopulation of microglia after transient microglial depletion at the acute-to-chronic phase. These repopulated microglia were morphologically distinct from control microglia, signifying they may exhibit a unique transcriptome. RNA sequencing of repopulated spinal cord microglia identified genes of interest using weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). We intersected these genes with a newly generated single nuclei microglial dataset from human spinal cord dorsal horn and identified human-relevant genes that may ultimately promote pain resolution after injury. This work presents a novel approach to gene discovery in pain and provides comprehensive datasets for the development of future microglial-targeted therapeutics.

Project description:Women with adenomyosis are characterized by having defective decidualization, impaired endometrial receptivity and/or embryo-maternal communication, and implantation failure. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying adenomyosis-related infertility remain unknown, mainly because of the restricted accessibility and the difficult preservation of endometrial tissue in vitro. We have recently shown that adenomyosis patient-derived endometrial organoids, maintain disease-specific features while differentiated into mid-secretory and gestational endometrial phase, overcoming these research barriers and providing a robust platform to study adenomyosis pathogenesis and the associated molecular dysregulation related to implantation and pregnancy disorders. For this reason, we aim to characterize the dysregulated mechanisms in the mid-secretory and gestational endometrium of patients with adenomyosis by RNA-sequencing. Endometrial organoids were derived from endometrial biopsies collected in the proliferative phase of women with adenomyosis (ADENO) or healthy oocyte donors (CONTROL) (n=15/group) and differentiated into mid-secretory (-SECorg) and gestational (-GESTorg) phases in vitro. Following RNA-sequencing, the significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (FDR<0.05) were identified, and the top 20 were selected for subsequent functional enrichment analysis and QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Statistical differences in gene expression were evaluated with the Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon test. We identified 1,430 DEGs in ADENO-SECorg and 1,999 DEGs in ADENO-GESTorg. In ADENO-SECorg, upregulated genes included OLFM1, FXYD5, and RUNX2, which are involved in impaired endometrial receptivity and implantation failure, while downregulated genes included RRM2, SOSTDC1, and CHAC2 implicated in recurrent implantation failure. In ADENO-GESTorg, upregulated CXCL14 and CYP24A1 and downregulated PGR were related to pregnancy loss. IPA predicted a significant inhibition of ID1 signaling, histamine degradation, and activation of HMGB1 and Senescence pathways, which are related to implantation failure. Alternatively, IPA predicted an inhibition of D-myo-inositol biosynthesis and VEGF signaling, and upregulation of Rho pathway, which are related to pregnancy loss and preeclampsia. In conclusion, Identifying dysregulated molecular mechanisms in mid-secretory and gestational endometrium of adenomyosis women contributes to the understanding of adenomyosis-related implantation failure and/or pregnancy disorders revealing potential therapeutic targets. Following experimental validation of our transcriptomic and in silico findings, our differentiated adenomyosis patient-derived organoids have the potential to provide a reliable platform for drug discovery, development, and personalized drug screening for affected patients.

Project description:Intestinal homeostasis is maintained through the combined functions of epithelial and immune cells that collaborate to preserve the integrity of the intestinal barrier. However, the mechanisms by which immune cell populations regulate intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) homeostasis remain unclear. Here, we use a multi-omics approach to study the immune-epithelial crosstalk and identify CD1d-restricted Natural Killer T (NKT) cells as regulators of IEC biology. We find that NKT cells are abundant in the proximal small intestine and show hallmarks of activation at steady state. Subsequently, NKT cells regulate the survival and the transcriptional and cellular composition landscapes of IECs in intestinal organoids, through mechanisms dependent on IFN-γ and IL-4 secretion by NKT cells but independent of the expression of CD1d on IECs. In vivo, lack of NKT cells results in an increase in IEC turnover, while NKT cell activation leads to IFN-γ-dependent epithelial apoptosis. Our findings propose NKT cells as potent producers of cytokines that contribute to the regulation of IEC homeostasis.
