GATA2 and Progesterone Receptor Interaction in Endometrial Stromal Cells Undergoing Decidualization.

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor GATA2 is important for endometrial stromal cell decidualization in early pregnancy. Progesterone 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. 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 human endometrial stromal cells undergoing in vitro decidualization (IVD including estrogen, progestin, and 3',5'-cyclic AMP analogue) or vehicle treatment. We identified 1232 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IVD vs vehicle. GATA2 cistrome in
