Progesterone receptor isoform PGR-A in female fertility

ABSTRACT: Progesterone is a critical reproductive hormone that acts via progesterone receptor transcriptional regulators. The short PGR-A isoform lacks a 164 amino acid N-terminal region present in PGR-B that markedly enhances its transcriptional activity. Isoform-specific mutants inactivating either PGR-A (PRAKO) or PGR-B (PRBKO) indicated that PGR-A is specifically essential for female fertility. This study revises that interpretation by showing that an inadvertent frame-shift mutation in the PRAKO caused ablation of both isoforms, instead of the intended PGR-A isoform-specific null mutation. A true PGR-A specific mutant generated through CRISPR-Cas9 editing with a complete lack of PGR-A, but retained expression of PGR-B showed a phenotype indistinguishable from wild type as previously shown for PRBKO females. Thus, the distinct function of PGR isoforms is more nuanced than previously appreciated.

Genome-wide binding sites of Progesterone receptor (PGR) isoforms PGR-A and PGR-B during differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells

Project description:We report the genome-wide binding sites of PGR-A and PGR-B at 2h of in vitro differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells that express either PGR-A or PGR-B. Progesterone, acting through the progesterone receptors (PGRs), is one of the most critical regulators of endometrial differentiation, known as decidualization, which is a key step toward the establishment of pregnancy. Yet a long-standing unresolved issue in uterine biology is the precise roles played by the major PGR isoforms, PGR-A and PGR-B, during decidualization in the human. Our approach, expressing PGR-A and PGR-B individually after silencing endogenous PGRs in human endometrial stromal cells (HESC), enabled the analysis of the roles of these isoforms separately as well as jointly by ChIP-seq and gene-expression analysis. In order to study the cistromes of PGR-A and PGR-B at 2h of in vitro differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells, we generated primary cultures of human endometrial stromal cells expressing flag tagged PGR-A and PGR-B individually after silencing endogenous PGRs. Input DNA was used as the reference sample.

PGR Isoform Modulation via Enhancer Activation Regulates Progesterone Signaling in Human Endometrial Stromal Cells [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Progesterone, acting through its isoform receptors PGR-A and PGR-B, is essential for regulating uterus function. The ratio between these isoforms is dynamic and context-dependent, driving distinct transcriptional programs. The upstream mechanisms controlling the PGR isoform balance and their functional impact in the uterus remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified two distal PGR enhancers in endometrial stromal cells located 60 kb and 220 kb upstream of the PGR transcription start site. We found that in comparison to PGR promoter-targeting which favors a PGR-B dominant profile, activation of these enhancers shifts the isoform ratio by increasing PGR-A and decreasing PGR-B expression. Bulk RNA-sequencing revealed that the isoform balance alters the progesterone-regulated transcriptome. PGR-A/B-equivalent cells displayed pro-inflammatory gene signatures, whereas PGR-B-dominant cells exhibited suppression of inflammatory signaling and cell cycle activity. Cut&Run assays identified differential genomic binding patterns associated with each isoform profile, and integration with chromatin interaction maps suggest direct regulation of distinct gene subsets. Upstream, ESR1 indirectly activated the PGR-A isoform dominantly, potentially through cooperation with FOXO1 at the U2 enhancer. This study identifies a novel enhancer-driven mechanism regulating PGR isoform dynamics and sheds light on how their imbalance in the endometrial stroma may reshape progesterone signaling in health and disease.

Gene expression analysis of granulosa cells from animals that are wildtype or knockout for total PGR, PGR-A or PGR-B (RNA-seq)

Project description:Progesterone receptor (PGR) is essential for various functions in the female reproductive tract, especially ovulation in the ovary. PGR consists of two main isoforms, PGR-A and PGR-B, that possess different expression patterns and are responsible for various unique roles in different tissue contexts. While both are present in the reproductive tract, PGR-A is the only one known to be essential for ovulation while PGR-B plays a lesser role in the reproductive tract. However, the specific roles of PGR isoforms on gene expression in peri-ovulatory granulosa cells have not been previously investigated in detail. In this study, we identified the unique role of PGR-A and PGR-B in peri-ovulatory granulosa cells through RNA-seq of knockout mouse models for total PGR (PGR KO) or specific isoforms (PGR-A KO and PGR-B KO)

Myometrial Progesterone Receptor Isoform B Regulates the Phospholipase C Pathway and Suppresses Uterine Contractility

Project description:Uterine contractile dysfunction leads to pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and labor dystocia. Progesterone is necessary to suppress uterine contractions to prevent premature labor. As humans maintain high levels of progesterone throughout parturition, a functional progesterone withdrawal hypothesis suggests that relative levels of myometrial progesterone receptor isoforms PGR-A and PGR-B switch at parturition, where PGR-B promotes a relaxed state and PGR-A result in increased uterine contractility. Our objective is to determine the effects of altered levels of PGR-B and PGR-A in the mouse myometrium on pregnancy and parturition using transgenic mouse models in which the relative levels of these isoforms are altered specifically in the myometrium. Overexpression of PGR-B is associated with a markedly increased gestational length compared to control mice. In both ex vivo and in vivo experiments, myometrium of PGR-B overexpressing mice have prolonged labor, a significant decrease in uterine contractility, and a high incidence of labor dystocia. Conversely, overexpression of PGR-A is associated with an increase in uterine contractility without a change in gestational length. Uterine RNAseq at mid-pregnancy identified isoform-specific downstream targets and genes that were commonly regulated by both PGR isoforms. Gene signature analyses further revealed that PGR-B promotes muscle relaxation and that PGR-A is pro-inflammation. High levels of PGR-B manifest a genetic profile of a blunted phospholipase C pathway that mediates oxytocin and angiotensin II induced muscle contraction. These findings provided in vivo support that PGR isoform levels determine distinct transcriptomic landscapes and pathways in myometrial function and labor.

Comparative analysis of the Progesterone Receptor interactome in the human ovarian granulosa cell line KGN and other female reproductive cells

Project description:The nuclear steroid hormone receptor Progesterone Receptor (PGR) is expressed in granulosa cells in the ovarian follicle in a tightly regulated pattern in response to the surge of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that stimulates ovulation. PGR plays a critical role in mediating ovulation in response to LH, however the mechanism for this is still unknown. Using the KGN human granulosa cell line expressing the primary PGR isoforms PGR-A or PGR-B, we performed immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry to identify novel interacting proteins that regulate PGR function in these ovary-specific target cells. Proteomic analysis revealed protein interactions with both PGR isoforms that were gained (e.g. transcriptional coactivators) or lost (e.g. chaperone proteins) in response to the PGR agonist R5020. Additionally, isoform-specific interactions, including different families of transcriptional regulators, were identified. Comparison with published datasets of PGR interacting proteins in human breast cancer cell lines and decidualised endometrial stromal cells demonstrated a remarkable number of tissue-specific interactions, shedding light on how PGR can maintain diverse functions in different tissues. In conclusion, our dataset provides new insights into ovary-specific PGR transcriptional mechanisms.

Transcriptomic profiles of myometrial PGR deficient and control mouse uteri at pseudopregnancy day 6

Project description:Progesterone signaling is crucial for pregnancy. To investigate the role of myometrial progesterone receptor in support of pregnancy, genome-wide gene expression profiles of pregnant uterine tissues from myometrial PGR knockout and control mice were profiled by RNAseq. The transcriptomic alterations in response to PGR loss permit identification of the underlying molecular mechanisms by which progesterone and PGR control myometrial homeostasis for pregnancy.
