Expression of Cyclic AMP associated genes on primary culture human myometrial cells

ABSTRACT: During pregnancy, the myometrium remains quiescent but at term, switches to a state capable of producing a series of coordinated contractions for the delivery of the fetus. Myometrial contractions of labour signify the normal physiological end-point of pregnancy but the biochemical onset of labour may occur at or before term via a series of changes in expression of labour associated genes that are responsible for controlling the activity of the uterus during pregnancy and parturition. There is increasing evidence that components of the cAMP-signalling pathway are up-regulated in the human myometrium during pregnancy to promote the relaxation of the myometrium until term. Our aim was to determine which cAMP-associated genes are important during pregnancy and parturition by exposing myometrial cells to forskolin and performing an a gene array. We then plan to study the trend of the cAMP-associated genes at different stages of gestation and during labour. In this study, we used microarrays to elucidate forskolin responsive genes in human myometrium. These data may provide a broader view of gene networks and cellular functions regulated by forskolin in human myometrial cells. In our future study, this will also help us understand the role of cAMP in human parturition.

In our future study, this will also help us understand the role of cAMP in human parturition. Primary cultures of human myometrial cells were grown from myometrial biopsies obtained at the time of elective caesarean section at term. Cells were exposed to forskolin (100 ÂµM) for 48 hours, and then total RNA were extracted from each culture. Two comparisons were carried out including: 1. Control 2. Forksolin

Transcriptomic profiles of nonpregnant and term pregnant human myometrial tissues

Project description:The myometrium undergoes structural and functional remodeling during pregnancy. We hypothesize that myometrial genomic elements alter correspondingly in preparation for parturition. Human myometrial tissues from nonpregnant (NP) and term pregnant (TP) human subjects were subject to RNAseq, ATAC-seq and PGR ChIP-seq assays to profile transcriptome, assessible genome and PGR occupancy.

RNA-seq Analysis of Changes in mRNA Expression for the hTERT-HMA/B Human Myometrial Cell Line treated with all Combinations of Progesterone, Forskolin, and Interleukin-1β

Project description:Parturition involves cellular signaling changes driven by the complex interplay between progesterone (P4), inflammation, and the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway. To characterize this interplay, comprehensive transcriptomic studies utilizing 8 treatment combinations were performed on the hTERT-HMA/B telomerase immortalized human myometrial cell line and myometrium obtained from term c-section deliveries. Genome-wide RNA-sequencing was performed on total RNA extracted from hTERT-HMA/B cells treated with all combinations of P4, forskolin (induces cAMP), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Gene set enrichment and regulatory network analyses was then used to identify pathways commonly, differentially, or synergistically regulated by each treatment. Tissue similarity index (TSI) was also applied to characterize the correspondence between cell lines and tissue phenotypes. In addition to their individual anti-inflammatory effects, P4 and cAMP synergistically blocked specific inflammatory pathways/regulators including STAT3/6, CEBPA/B, and OCT1/7, but not NFKB. TSI analysis indicated that forskolin+P4- and IL-1β-treated cells exhibit transcriptional signatures highly similar to non-laboring and laboring term myometrium, respectively. The data identify potential therapeutic targets to prevent preterm birth and show that the hTERT-HMA/B cell line provides is an accurate transcriptional model for term ± labor myometrium.

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.

Genome-wide analysis of Prokineticin-1-regulated genes in human term myometrium

Project description:Infiltration of human myometrium and cervix with leukocytes and formation of a pro-inflammatory environment within the uterus has been associated with the initiation of both term and preterm parturition. The mechanism regulating the onset of this pro-inflammatory cascade is not fully elucidated. We demonstrate that prokineticin 1 (PROK1) is up-regulated in human myometrium and placenta during labour. Gene array analysis identified 65 genes up-regulated by PROK1 in human myometrium, mainly cytokines and chemokines including: Interleukin-1beta (IL1B), chemokine C-C motif ligand 3 (CCL3) and Colony Stimulating Factor 3 (CSF3). We additionally demonstrate that PROK1 increases expression of chemokines C-C motif ligand 20 (CCL20), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), prostaglandin synthase 2 (PTGS2) and prostaglandin E2 and F2? secretion. We propose that PROK1 is a novel inflammatory mediator that can contribute to onset of human parturition at term and partially mediate premature onset of inflammatory pathways during bacterial infection. Total RNA was extracted from human term non-labour myometrium explants treated with prokineticin for 6 and 24 hours compared to vehicle-treated explants. Six biological replicates were analyzed for each treatment and time point. Two of the 6-hour vehicle samples failed a quality-control analysis and were substituted with a 4-hour vehicle treatment from the same tissue sample in each case.

Project description:We have generated genome-wide binding and expression datasets in uterine smooth muscle (myometrium) from murine models of pregnancy and labour. ChIP-seq and total RNA-seq experiments were conducted to evaluate changes in the genomic and transcriptomic landscape of the myometrium prior to, during, and after labour onset.

RNA-seq transcriptomes of term not in labour and term in labour human myometrial tissue

Project description:Purpose: To chart the human myometrial transcriptomes before and after the onset of labour. Methods: Tophat splice junction mapping of paired-end reads, HTSeq to generate counts, cufflinks to track transcripts, DESeq, edgeR and baySeq to detect differentially expressed genes and principal component analysis for clustering analyses. Results: We mapped on average 14 million paired-end reads per sample (counting each end individually) to the human genome (build hg19) and covered the expressed transcriptome about 13 times with a TopHat-HTSeq workflow. We performed a comparative analysis with an analogous microarray study (Mittal et al., 2010) and found some overlap between the RNA-seq and the microarray data. Conclusions: Our study is the first RNA-seq study of the human myometrium before and after the onset of labour. We show that while microarray and RNA-seq studies may complement each other, RNA-seq has a much greater resolution. At term with and at term without labour human myometrial mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx (five biological replicates each).
