Towards an Understanding of the Pathomechanisms of Uterine Fibroids

ABSTRACT: Uterine fibroids (UFs) are benign tumours affecting up to 80% of women of reproductive age. Although mutations in MED12 or HMGA2 account for the majority of UF occurrence, the processes by which these lead to UFs remain poorly understood. Here we present a comprehensive systems biology study, merging clinical, genetic, transcriptomic and proteomic information to better understand the patho-mechanisms underlying UF.

Integrated epigenome, exome and transcriptome analyses reveal molecular subtypes and homeotic transformation in uterine fibroids

Project description:Uterine fibroids are benign myometrial smooth muscle tumors of unknown etiology that when symptomatic are the most common indication for hysterectomy in the USA. We conducted an integrated analysis of fibroids and adjacent normal myometria by whole exome sequencing, DNA methylation (Human Methylation EPIC) array, and RNA-sequencing. Unsupervised clustering by DNA methylation segregated normal myometria and fibroids, and further separated the fibroids into subtypes marked by MED12 mutation, HMGA2 activation (HMGA2hi) and HMGA1 activation (HMGA1hi). Upregulation of HMGA2 expression in HMGA2hi fibroids did not always appear to be dependent on translocation, as has been historically described, and was associated with hypomethylation in the HMGA2 gene body. Furthermore, we found that expression of HOXA13 was highly upregulated in fibroids and that overexpression of HOXA13 in a myometrial cell line induced expression of genes classically associated with uterine fibroids. Transcriptome analyses of the most differentially expressed genes between cervix and myometrium also showed that uterine fibroids and normal cervix clustered together and apart from normal myometria. Together, our integrated analysis shows a role for epigenetic modification in fibroid biology and strongly suggests that homeotic transformation of myometrium cells to a more cervical phenotype is important for the etiology of the disease.

Gut microbiota: uterine fibroids patients vs. healthy control

Project description:Gut microbial profiling of uterine fibroids (UFs) patients comparing control subjects. The gut microbiota was examined by 16S rRNA quantitative arrays and bioinformatics analysis. The goal was to reveal alterations in the gut microbiome of uterine fibroids patients.

Transcription profiling by array of human uterine fibroids with normal karyotype and 12q14~15 rearrangements

Project description:12q14~15 chromosomal rearrangements, specifically affecting the HMGA2 gene locus, are frequently observed in human uterine fibroids. Those fibroids are observed to show fast growth to a larger size compared to fibroids of normal karyotype. Since the HMGA2 gene is overexpressed, this study provides further insights in the development of uterine fibroids.

TGF-β signaling links early-life endocrine-disrupting chemicals exposure to suppression of nucleotide excision repair in rat myometrial stem cells

Project description:Environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is associated with uterine fibroids (UFs) development, the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age. It has been shown that UFs originate from abnormal myometrial stem cells (MMSCs) and there is evidence that defective DNA repair capacity could be involved in the emergence of mutations with implications for tumorigenesis. Moreover, the multifunctional cytokine TGF-β1 has been related to UF progress and some works revealed its connection with certain DNA damage repair pathways. Eker rats develop spontaneous uterine tumors in adulthood, which makes it a useful model for the study of UFs emergence The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs exposure on TGF-β1 pathway and nucleotide excision repair (NER) capacity, on Eker rat myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Transcriptome of human myometrial stem cells in the context of uterine fibroids

Project description:Our study represents a new strategy for identifying drivers and risk factors of uterine fibroids (F) by identifying genes and pathways differentially regulated in myometrial stem cells (SCs) isolated from myometrium without fibroids (MyoN) and from myometrium adjacent to uterine fibroids (MyoF) using RNA-seq approach. Moreover, we will perform the comparison analysis of the transcriptome between MyoF SCs and fibroid SCs to identify differentially expressed genes.

Transcription profiling of human uterine fibroids and normal myometrium

Project description:Defects in mitochondrial enzymes predispose to severe developmental defects as well as tumorigenesis. Heterozygous germline mutations in the nuclear gene encoding fumarate hydratase (FH), an enzyme catalyzing the hydration of fumarate in the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle, cause hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer; yet the connection between disruption of mitochondrial metabolic pathways and neoplasia remains to be discovered. We have used an expression microarray approach for studying differences in global gene expression pattern caused by mutations in FH. Seven uterine fibroids carrying FH mutations were compared with 15 fibroids with wild-type FH. The two groups showed markedly different expression profiles, and multiple differentially expressed genes were detected. The most significant increase in FH mutants was seen in the expression of carbohydrate metabolism- and glycolysis-related genes. Other significantly up-regulated gene categories in FH mutants were, for example, iron ion homeostasis and oxidoreduction. Genes with lower expression in FH-mutant fibroids belonged to groups such as extracellular matrix, cell adhesion, muscle development and cell contraction. We show that FH mutations alter significantly the expression profiles of fibroids, most strikingly increasing the expression of genes involved in glycolysis.
