Endometriosis stromal cell with estrogen

ABSTRACT: Objective : To compare transcriptomes induced by the estrogen components of combined oral contraceptives, estetrol (E4), and ethynylestradiol (EE), and estradiol (E2) in human primary endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs). Design: ESCs were cultured in the presence of E4 (10-6 mol/L), E2 (10-8 mol/L) or EE (10-9 mol/L) for 24 hours. The transcriptomes induced by E4 were compared with those by E2 and EE. Subjects: ESCs were obtained from patients with ovarian endometriomas. Main Outcome Measures: Comprehensive transcriptomes were examined using RNA sequencing analysis. mRNA levels were measured using reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. Results: E4 treatment resulted in 114 differentially expressed genes compared to the control (|log2fold change| >0.2). Within these genes, 79% (90 genes) changed in the same manner as with EE and E2. Of these genes, the expression levels of GREB1, PGR and BMP6 were validated using RT-qPCR analysis. In contrast, 21% (24 genes) changed in E4-preferential manner. Of these genes, FAM72A and ENSG00000280800 were validated using RT-qPCR analysis. Conclusion: Our results showed that the effect of E4 on ESC gene expression generally similar to those caused by EE and E2 but differed for some genes. This study will advance our understanding of combined oral contraceptives that have practical importance for the treatment of endometriosis.

Project description:Cerebrovascular dysfunction is a hallmark feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). One of the greatest risk factor for AD is the apolipoprotein E4 (E4) allele. APOE4 genotype has been shown to negatively impact on perivascular amyloid clearance, however, its direct influence along with the other APOE variants (APOE2 and APOE3) on the molecular integrity of the cerebrovasculature has not been largely explored. To address this, we employed a 10-plex tandem isobaric mass tag approach in combination with an ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography MS/MS (Q-Exactive) method, to interrogate unbiased proteomic changes in cerebrovessels from AD and healthy control brains on different APOE genotype backgrounds. We first interrogated changes between healthy control homozygote E2/E2, E3/E3 and E4/E4 cases to identify underlying genotype specific effects on cerebrovessels. EIF2 signaling, regulation of eIF4 and 70S6K signaling and mTOR signaling were the top significantly altered pathways in E4/E4 compared to E3/E3 cases. EIF2, nitric oxide and sirtuin signaling pathways were the top significantly altered pathways in E4/E4 compared to E2/E2 cases. We used a Two-way ANOVA analysis to identify AD-dependent changes and their interactions with APOE genotype. The highest number of significantly regulated proteins from this interaction was observed in E3/E4 (192) and E4/E4 (189) cases. As above, EIF2, mTOR signaling and eIF4 and 70S6K signaling were the top three significantly altered pathways in E4 allele carriers (i.e. E3/E4 and E4/E4 genotypes). Of all the cerebrovascular cell specific markers identified in our proteomic analyses, endothelial cell, astrocyte, and smooth muscle cell specific protein markers were significantly altered in E4/E4 cases, while endothelial cells and astrocyte specific protein markers were altered in E3/E4 cases. These proteomic changes provide novel insights to explain the longstanding link between APOE4 and cerebrovascular dysfunction. The early and converging APOE4 dependent changes we identified could provide novel targets in the cerebrovasculature for developing disease modifying strategies to mitigate the effects of APOE4 genotype on increasing the risk for, and the path towards AD pathogenesis.
