C/EBPδ drives key endocrine signals in human fetal membranes at parturition

ABSTRACT: Amnion-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cortisol are key to labor onset. Identification of the common transcription factor driving the expression of both cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1), the key enzymes in their production, may hold the key to the treatment of pre- and post-term labor. Here, we have found that the CCAAT enhancer binding protein δ (C/EBPδ) is such a transcription factor which underlies the feed-forward induction of COX-2 and 11β-HSD1 expression by their own products PGE2 and cortisol in human amnion fibroblasts so that their production would be ensured in the amnion for the onset of labor. Moreover, the abundance of C/EBPδ in amnion increases along with COX-2 and 11β-HSD1 at term and further increases at parturition. Knockout of C/EBPδ in mice delays the onset of labor further supporting the concept. In conclusion, C/EBPδ may serve as a novel pharmaceutical target in the amnion for treatment of pre- and post-term labor.

Amniotic microRNA profile of normal delivery at term

Project description:Amnion is a vital structure for human parturition, and it is anatomically compartmentalized into the placental amnion and the reflected amnion. microRNA expression was profiled to determine the expression pattern and its significance in the placental amnion and the reflected amnion in association with spontaneous labor at term. placental and reflected amnion tissue from two groups of women (term in labor and term no labor)

Hippocampal gene expression in aged and young HSD1 knockout mice

Project description:Mice deficient in the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme 11β-HSD1 resist age-related spatial memory impairment. To investigate the mechanisms/pathways involved, we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed hippocampal genes that associate with cognitive ageing and 11β-HSD1. Aged wild-type mice were separated into memory-impaired and unimpaired relative to young controls according to their performance in the Y-maze. All individual aged 11β-HSD1-deficient mice showed intact spatial memory. The majority of differentially expressed hippocampal genes were increased with ageing (e.g. immune/inflammatory response genes) with no genotype differences. However, the neuronal-specific transcription factor, Npas4 and immediate early gene, Arc were reduced (relative to young) in the hippocampus of memory-impaired but not unimpaired aged wild-type or aged 11β-HSD1-deficient mice. Quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization confirmed reduced Npas4 and Arc mRNA expression in memory-impaired aged wild-type mice. These findings suggest that 11β-HSD1 may contribute to the decline in Npas4 and Arc mRNA levels associated with memory impairment during ageing, and that decreased activity of synaptic plasticity pathways involving Npas4 and Arc may, in part, underlie the memory deficits seen in cognitively-impaired aged wild-type mice.

Tumors produce glucocorticoids by metabolite recycling, not synthesis, and activate Tregs to promote growth

Project description:Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones with potent immunosuppressive properties. Their primary source is the adrenals, where they are generated via de novo synthesis from cholesterol. In addition, many tissues have a recycling pathway in which glucocorticoids are regenerated from inactive metabolites by the enzyme 11β-HSD1 (encoded by Hsd11b1). Here we find that multiple tumor types express Hsd11b1 and produce active glucocorticoids. Genetic ablation of Hsd11b1 in such cells had no effect on in vitro growth but reduced in vivo tumor progression, which corresponded with increased frequencies of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (TIL) expressing activation markers and producing effector cytokines. Tumor-derived glucocorticoids were found to promote signatures of Treg activation and suppress signatures of Tconv activation in tumor-infiltrating Treg. Indeed, CD8+ T cell activation was restored and tumor growth reduced in mice with Treg-specific glucocorticoid receptor deficiency. Importantly, pharmacologic inhibition of 11β-HSD1 reduced tumor growth to the same degree as gene knockout, and rendered immunotherapy-resistant tumors susceptible to PD-1 blockade. Given that HSD11B1 expression is upregulated in many human tumors and that inhibition of 11β-HSD1 is well-tolerated in clinical studies, these data suggest that targeting 11β-HSD1 may be a beneficial adjunct in cancer therapy.

Term W/O labor fetal membrane mRNA expression patterns

Project description:The purpose of our study was to characterize mRNA expression by comparing the zone of fetal membranes (site of rupture (ZAM) and away from the site (ZIM)) and the tissue layer (amnion and choriodecidua). Nine fetal membranes were collected by cesarean section at term before labor. After classifying genes in specific biological processes, we highlight particular patterns like inflammation.
