Project description:Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted disease characterized by the anomalous proliferation of keratinocytes caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Fu Fang Gang Liu liquid (FFGL) is an effective external prescription to treat condyloma acuminatum, but its potential molecular mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to identify the major active ingredients and prospective targets of FFGL by using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and transcriptomics, and validating it experimentally. Network pharmacology analysis found that FFGL contains a total of 78 active compounds, from which 610 compound-related targets were screened. Among them, 59 compound-related targets overlapped with CA targets and were considered as targets with potential therapeutic effects. Protein-protein network analysis showed that AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 was the potential therapeutic target. To further confirm this result we performed RNA-seq assays on HPV18+ cells after FFGL intervention, and conducted enrichment analyses on the screened differentially expressed genes. Enrichment analyses results indicated that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway may be a key pathway for FFGL to function. Further in vitro experiments revealed that FFGL significantly inhibited the activity of HPV18+ cells and reduced PI3K and Akt protein levels. Rescue experiment indicated that the reduction in cell viability caused by FFGL was partially restored after the use of activators of the PI3K/Akt pathway. We further explored the active components of FFCL for the treatment of condyloma acuminatum and screened two active compounds, periplogenin and periplocymarin. Molecular docking showed that these two compounds have good binding activity to AKT1.

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common vaginal infection among women worldwide, is characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota with a reduction of protective Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of facultative and strictly anaerobic bacteria. Although the development of a polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium is a hallmark of BV, interactions between key BV-associated bacteria (BVAB) [i.e. Gardnerella vaginalis, Fannyhessea vaginae, and Prevotella bivia] present in the biofilm remain largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to analyze the transcriptome of triple-species biofilms growing in a medium simulating vaginal tract secretions (mGTS) compared to a rich medium, New York City III (NYCIII). As such, triple-species biofilms formed by G. vaginalis, F. vaginae, and P. bivia were grown in either NYCIII or mGTS in anaerobic conditions. After that, RNA was extracted and cDNA libraries were constructed and sequenced. We first characterized the biofilm composition in both media by qPCR and observed that G. vaginalis was the most prevalent species in both conditions. RNA-sequencing data analysis revealed a total of 964, 596, and 656 differentially expressed genes in G. vaginalis, F. vaginae, and P. bivia, respectively, when comparing the transcriptome of biofilms in mGTS versus NYCIII. We identified 927 upregulated and 37 downregulated genes for G. vaginalis, 492 upregulated and 104 downregulated for F. vaginae, and 166 upregulated and 490 downregulated for P. bivia. Gene ontology enrichment showed that metabolic and biosynthetic processes were common within upregulated genes for G. vaginalis, while downregulated genes were associated with transmembrane transporters. For F. vaginae, transmembrane transporters were identified among upregulated genes, while downregulated genes were related to metabolism and cellular process, in which several KEGG pathways linked to metabolism were recognized. For P. bivia, upregulated genes were associated with transmembrane processes while downregulated genes were associated with metabolic processes; KEGG pathways were also identified. This work highlighted the adaptation of 3 key BVAB growing on a medium that simulates in vivo conditions and will contribute to a better understanding of bacterial interactions that are important in the pathogenesis of incident BV.

Project description:The onset of menopause is accompanied by a dramatic increase in reported symptoms of vaginal dryness, soreness, irritation or itching, pain with intercourse and bleeding after intercourse. Collectively these affect 25-50% of women of post-menopausal age and significantly impact their quality of life. To examine how gene expression differs between these groups, surface vaginal epithelial cells were collected from postmenopausal women suffering from vaginal dryness and appropriate controls not suffering from dryness. Affymetrix GeneChip Human 1.0 ST microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from ten participants.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) localize throughout the body, where they sense and capture invading pathogens to induce protective immune responses. Hence, harnessing the biology of tissue-resident DC is crucial for the rational design of vaccines against pathogens. Herein, we characterized the transcriptomes of four antigen presenting cell (APC) subsets from the human vagina (vLC, vCD14- DC, vCD14+ DC, vMM-NM-&) and compared them to those of three skin DC (sDC) subsets and blood myeloid DC. We find that APC genomic fingerprints are significantly influenced by the tissue of origin as well as by individual APC subsets. Nonetheless, CD14+ APC from both vagina and skin are geared towards innate immunity and pro-inflammatory responses, whereas CD14- DC, particularly sLC, vLC, and vCD14- DC, display both Th2-inducing and regulatory phenotypes. We also identified vAPC subset-specific cellular and functional biomarkers that will guide the design of mucosal vaccines against sexually transmitted pathogens. Vaginal and skin tissues were obtained from female patients who underwent pelvic or cosmetic surgeries under protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Baylor Research Institute (BRI). Patients were not infected with HIV, HCV or TB and did not display inflammation in the tissues. No other diagnosis information was available. Blood from healthy female volunteers was obtained under a protocol approved by the IRB of BRI. 87 total samples. 6 Blood mDC; 16 Dermal CD1c+CD14-; 10 Epidermal LC; 12 Vaginal CD1c+CD14-; 13 Vaginal CD1c+CD14+; 7 Vaginal HLADR- w/ 2 replicates (Vaginal HLADR-_VM610 and Vaginal HLADR-_VM611); 9Vaginal LC; 14 Vaginal Macrophage.

Project description:Background: Vaginal birth causes injury to the pelvic floor and may lead to urinary incontinence. Cell therapy has been proposed to assist in functional recovery. Objective: To assess if intra-arterial injection of mesoangioblasts (MABs) or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-overexpressed MABs, improves urethral and vaginal function recovery after simulated vaginal delivery (SVD). Results: All stem-cell injected rats had external urethral sphincteric and vaginal function recovery within 14d, as compared to half of controls. Functional recovery was paralleled by improved muscle regeneration and microvascularization. Recovery was not different between autologous and allogenic MABs. MABsallo-VEGF accelerated functional recovery and increased GAP-43 expression at 7d. We detected early on in the recovery major transcriptional changes in both MABsallo and MABsallo-VEGF. MABSallo upregulated transcripts that encode proteins involved in myogenesis and dendrite development, and downregulated pro-inflammatory processes MABsallo-VEGF upregulated transcripts that encode proteins involved neuron and dendrite development and downregulates genes involved in hypoxia and oxidative stress. 7d after injury, Later MABsallo-VEGF showed a decrease in oxidative and inflammatory response compared to MABSallo treated urethras. These pathways are also downregulated in animals that have recovered at 7d, compared to non-recovered animals. Conclusion: Intra-arterial injection of MABsallo-VEGF enhances neuroregeneration and accelerates functional urethral and vaginal recovery after simulated vaginal delivery. Injection of stem cells induces faster recovery of urethral and vaginal function; cells overexpressing a factor increasing blood vessel formation, were even more effective.

Project description:During sexual transmission of HIV-1 from male to female partners, the vagina is the initial site of contact with HIV infected semen. The mechanism of HIV traversing the CD4 negative multi-layered stratified squamous epithelial barrier of the vagina to infect sub-epithelial susceptible immune cells, is hitherto unknown. HIV gp120 binds to several host proteins on vaginal epithelial cells. To gain an insight into the physiologic changes that may occur in vaginal epithelial cells in response to interactions with HIV gp120, and obtain an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which HIV breaches the vaginal epithelium, a global snap shot of gene expression profiles in the vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7, treated with HIV gp120 was determined. The vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7 was treated with HIV gp120 (83nM) for 24 hr, and Agilent one colour, microarrays were performed.
