Project description:Our previous studies have shown that bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a morphogen belonging to the TGFM-NM-2 superfamily, is markedly induced in human primary endometrial stromal cells (HESC) as they undergo differentiation in response to steroid hormones and cAMP. WNT4 is a downstream target of BMP2 regulation in these cells. To identify the common downstream targets of BMP2 and WNT4 in human endometrial stromal cells, we performed gene expression profling of human ensometrial stromal cell transduced with BMP2 or WNT4 adenovirus. Gene expression profiling revealed that FOXO1, a forkhead family transcription factor and a known regulator of HESC differentiation, is a common downstream mediator of both BMP2 and WNT4 signaling. These studies uncovered a linear pathway involving BMP2, WNT4, and FOXO1 that operates in human endometrium to critically control decidualization. Human endometrial stromal cells were transduced with recombinant adenovirus expressing BMP2, WNT4, or a negative control GFP at MOI 50:1 in 2 ml of culture medium. After transduction for 24 h, the viral particles were removed and the cells were treated with E+P for 3 days to induce decidualization (n=3 for each treatment), pooled total RNA from these cells was then hybridized to high density affymetrix microarrays according to the Affymetrix protocol (Human Genome HG-U133 A2.0 Array) .

Project description:Immune system cells and cells of the endometrium have long been proposed to interact in both physiological and pathological processes. The current study was undertaken to examine communication between cultured monocytes and endometrial stromal cells and also to assess responses of endometrial stromal cells to treatment with estradiol (E) in the absence and presence of medroxyprogesterone acetate (P). A telomerase-immortalized human endometrial stromal cell line (T-HESC) and the U-937 monocyte cell line were used. T-HESC were treated with E ± P ± monocyte conditioned medium; U-937 were treated ± T-HESC conditioned medium. Gene expression in response to treatment was examined by DNA microarray. Bi-directional communication, as demonstrated by changes in gene expression, clearly occurred between U-937 monocytes and T-HESC endometrial stromal cells.
Project description:gene expression at 6h of differentiation of Human endometrial stromal cell expressing either or both of PRA and PRB Endogenous PGR expression is silenced with siRNA mediated knockdown. Then, cells are transduced with adenovirus exressing flag tagged PRA or flag tagged PRB. Human endometrial stromal cell expressing one or both isoforms are treated with differentiation cocktail for 6h.
Project description:The zinc-finger transcription factor GATA2 has been shown to be important for endometrial stromal cell decidualization in early pregnancy in mice and humans. Progesterone and its receptor PGR is also critical during decidualization but its interaction with GATA2 in regulating genes and pathways necessary for decidualization in human endometrium are unclear. Human endometrial stromal cells were isolated from 5 premenopausal women for primary cell culture. The cells underwent in vitro decidualization (IVD) or vehicle (Veh) treatment for 10 days. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to compare gene expression profiles (n=3) and chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) using an antibody against GATA2 (n=2) was performed to examine binding to target genes in the Veh and IVD cells. A public PGR ChIP-seq dataset (GSE69539) was mined to identify PGR-binding regions in IVD-treated human endometrial cells.

Project description:Transcriptome profiles were investigated in isolated endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The profiles were quite different between eutopic ESC and ectopic ESC, whereas no clear dfference was recognized between eutopic ESC with and without endometriosis. Total RNA from three cultured endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from eutopic endometria without endometriosis, three ESCs with endometriosis and three ESCs from chocolate cysts were hybridised to the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array.
