Project description:Accumulating evidences suggest that various epigenetic aberrations play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim of this study is to identify 1) the panel of aberrantly expressed genes that are epigenetically suppressed by histone acetylation in endometriosis; 2) the roles of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) alpha, one of the candidate molecules whose expression was epigenetically repressed in endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs), in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; and 3) the efficacy of the histone deacetylase inhibitors for the treatment of endometriosis. Subconfluent ECSCs cultured in 10-cm dish were further incubated for 72 h with or without VPA (8 mM) and/or 5aza. Total RNA from untreated ECSCs (n=4), VPA-treated ECSCs (n=4), 5aza-treated ECSCs (n=4), and VPA- and 5aza-treated ECSCs (n=4) was extracted and subjected to gene expression microarray analysis.

Project description:Endometriosis is a common disease seen by gynecologists. Clinical features involve pelvic pain and unexplained infertility. Although endometriosis is pathologically characterized by endometrial tissue outside the normal uterine location, endometriosis is otherwise not easily explained. Endometriomas, endometriotic cysts of the ovary, typically cause pain and distortion of pelvic anatomy. To begin to understand the pathogenesis of endometriomas, we carried out transcriptome:microRNAome analysis of endometriomas and eutopic endometrium, using gene expression arrays and next generation small RNA sequencing technology. Keywords: two group comparison

Keywords: two group comparison Patients undergoing surgery for endometriomas, suspected endometriosis, pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic organ prolapse, or uterine leiomyomas were approached for participation. After informed consent, the patients underwent scheduled surgical procedure. Tissues were collected either as cyst wall of endometrioma or endometrial curettage of hysterectomy specimen and placed directly into RNALater (Ambion, Austin, TX) and eventually frozen at -80?C. Samples were designated as endometriomas or non-endometriosis control endometrium based on surgical pathology reports. Total RNA was isolated from frozen tissue. High quality RNA was subjected to Illumina’s Human WG-6 version 2.0 BeadChips (Illumina). . *** This Series represents the transcriptome component of the study. ***

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The objective of the study was to determine the role of miR-100-5p, one of the upregulated microRNA in endometriotic cyst stromal cells, in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Downstream targets of miR-100-5p were identified by compulsory expression of miR-100-5p in normal eutopic endometrial stromal cells (NESCs), a global mRNA microarray technique, and pathways analysis.Compulsory expression of miR-100-5p in NESCs directed the induction of cell motility through SWItch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF)-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily D member 1 (SMARCD1) supression and matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1) activation.

Project description:The pathogenesis of endometriosis may result from aberrant angiogenesis that occurs in eutopic endometrium with retrograde menstruation. The difference in gene expression profile between human endometrial endothelial cells (HEECs) from eutopic endometria of patients with and without endometriosis would be determinant that affects the occurrence of endometriosis. To explore this kind of difference, we performed in vitro culture and identified their endothelial origin, as well as observed growth features of HEECs from the two different origins. Finally we identified the difference in gene expression profile when combined suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) with genechip and confirmed the results by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The HEECs derived from endometriosis exhibited potent survival ability in vitro compared to that from non-endometriosis. We found that gremlin and fibronectin genes were up-regulated in HEECs derived from eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis when compared with that from patients without endometriosis. Our study implies that enhanced angiogenic capacity of eutopic HEECs may be an independent determinant in endometriotic aberrant angiogenesis in addition to the interaction of exfoliated endometrium and peritoneal environment elements such as activated macrophages and soluble cytokines. Experiment Overall Design: We analyzed 5 arrays for HEECs derived from eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and 5 arrays for HEECs derived from that of patients without endometriosis

NESCs were transfected with precursor hsa-miR-210 (Pre-miRTM miRNA precursor- hsa-miR-210, Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) or negative control precursor miRNA (Pre-miRTM miRNA precursor-negative control #1 Ambion) at a final concentration of 10 nM, using LipofectamineTM RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Forty-eight hours after transfection, total RNA from cultured NESCs transfected with precursor hsa-miR-210 (n=4) and NESCs (n=4) transfected with negative control precursor miRNA was extracted with an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Then, the samples were subjected to a gene expression microarray analysis with a commercially available human mRNA microarray (G4845A, Human Gene Expression 4x44K v2, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Project description:To identify the miRNAs which play a role in the development of endometriosis, we explored differentially expressed miRNAs between ECSCs (N=8) and normal endometrial stromal cells (NESCs, n=8) using miRNA microarray. The expression profiles in ECSCs and NESCs were obtained, then the miRNAs were filtered by signal intensity (20.0<, at least one out of 16 samples have values within range) and flags (at least 70% of cases have good flags). The differentially expressed miRNAs in ECSCs compared with NESCs were identified using volcano plot (Fold change >= 2.0, Mann-Whiteny U test p<0.05). The primary culture of ECSCs and NESCs (controls) were utilized. Total RNA was extracted from them, and miRNA microarray analysis was performed. The miRNAs differentially expressed between ECSCs and NESCs were identified, and aberrantly expressed miRNAs in ECSCs were defined as the endometriosis related miRNAs.

Project description:Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. The most widely accepted theory of the etiology of endometriosis includes the process of retrograde menstruation, where menstrual effluent travels up the Fallopian tubes, accesses the peritoneal cavity, and in some people is able to establish endometriotic lesions. Recent reports suggest the uterus is not devoid of bacteria, as was once believed. Thus, the refluxed menstrual effluent may also carry bacteria along with it, and this bacteria has been suggested to contribute to inflammation, and establishment and growth of endometriotic lesions. Here, we sought to compare and contrast the uterine bacteria (endometrial microbiota) in women with surgically confirmed presence or absence of endometriosis using next-generation 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We obtained an average of more than 9000 sequence reads per endometrial biopsy, and found that the endometrial microbiota of women with endometriosis was more diverse (greater Shannon Diversity Index and greater proportion of ‘Other’ taxa) than that of symptomatic controls (women with pelvic pain, but with surgically confirmed absence of endometriosis; diagnosed with other benign gynecological conditions at surgery). The difference in endometrial microbiotas was supported in unsupervised cluster analyses where some clustering of endometrial microbiota by disease status (endometriosis vs. controls) was observed. The bacterial taxa enriched in the endometrial microbiota of women with endometriosis belonged to the Actinobacteria phylum, Oxalobacteraceae and Streptococcaceae families, and Tepidimonas genus, while those enriched in the symptomatic controls (without endometriosis) belonged to the Burkholderiaceae family, and Ralstonia genus. Taken together, our findings suggest the endometrial microbiota is perturbed in people with endometriosis.
