Project description:Our previous studies have shown that C/EBPβ plays a critical role in human endometrial stromal decidualization. In order to identify the molecular pathways regulated by C/EBPβ during decidualization, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA isolated from normal and C/EBPβ-deficient human endometrial stromal cells. The microarray results revealed that several key regulators of stromal differentiation, such as BMP2, Wnt4, IL-11Rα and STAT3, operate downstream of C/EBPβ during decidualization. Further studies revealed that STAT3 is a direct target of C/EBPβ and plays an important role in cytokine signal during the decidualization process. Gene expression profiling, using STAT3-deficient HESCs, showed an extensive overlap of pathways downstream of STAT3 and C/EBPβ during stromal cell differentiation.

Project description:Our previous studies have shown that C/EBPM-NM-2 plays a critical role in human endometrial stromal decidualization. In order to identify the molecular pathways regulated by C/EBPM-NM-2 during decidualization, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA isolated from normal and C/EBPM-NM-2-deficient human endometrial stromal cells. The microarray results revealed that several key regulators of stromal differentiation, such as BMP2, Wnt4, IL-11RM-NM-1 and STAT3, operate downstream of C/EBPM-NM-2 during decidualization. Further studies revealed that STAT3 is a direct target of C/EBPM-NM-2 and plays an important role in cytokine signal during the decidualization process. Gene expression profiling, using STAT3-deficient HESCs, showed an extensive overlap of pathways downstream of STAT3 and C/EBPM-NM-2 during stromal cell differentiation. We employed a siRNA strategy to suppress C/EBPM-NM-2 or STAT3 mRNA expression in HESCs and then performed microarray analysis to identify its downstream target genes. Further, using a similar strategy, we focused on STAT3, a C/EBPM-NM-2 target gene, and identified the commone pathways downstream of both C/EBPM-NM-2 and STAT3.

Project description:Proper decidualization is vital in preparation for a potential embryo receptivity, placentation, menstrual health and subsequent endometrial regeneration. Given the importance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in intercellular communication, and recently in embryo implantation and indicators of menstrual cycle and fertility, we investigated their role during decidualization. Overall, this study provides an insight into distinct variation in sEV composition depending upon the level of decidualization of endometrial stromal cells, with the signaling potential to coordinate endometrial health ranging from embryo implantation, facilitating placentation and subsequent endometrial regeneration.

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.

Project description:The zinc-finger transcription factor GATA2 has been shown to be important for endometrial stromal cell decidualization in early pregnancy in mice and humans. Progesterone and its receptor PGR is also critical during decidualization but its interaction with GATA2 in regulating genes and pathways necessary for decidualization in human endometrium are unclear. Human endometrial stromal cells were isolated from 5 premenopausal women for primary cell culture. The cells underwent in vitro decidualization (IVD) or vehicle (Veh) treatment for 10 days. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to compare gene expression profiles (n=3) and chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) using an antibody against GATA2 (n=2) was performed to examine binding to target genes in the Veh and IVD cells. A public PGR ChIP-seq dataset (GSE69539) was mined to identify PGR-binding regions in IVD-treated human endometrial cells.

Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.

Project description:Proper decidualization is a critical determinant of pregnancy success. Deficiencies in decidualization are associated with a variety of pregnancy disorders, including female infertility, recurrent implantation failure, and miscarriage. However, the mechanism for triggering decidualization of human endometrium is largely unknown. Here we characterized the transcriptomes of four major cells in human endometrium and decidua at single-cell resolution. We discovered the dynamic change characteristics of six major stromal cells. More importantly, a dialogue between IGF1+ stromal cells and IGF1R+ stromal cells initiates endometrial decidualization under regulation of progesterone and estrogen, and IL1B+ stromal cells trigger the apoptosis of epithelial cells and functional remodeling during decidualization. We defined a unique AREG+ NK cell for accelerating decidualization by interacting with IGF1+ stromal cells, and observed that extravillous trophoblasts promote decidualization possibly by multiply pathways. Additionally, we developed a systematic repository of cell-cell communication for decidualization via the ligand-receptor complexes interactions. Our study provides deeper insights into the molecular and cellular characterizations during decidualization.
