Project description:Uterine leiomyomas (UL) are the most prevalent benign tumors of the female reproductive tract, originating from the myometrium and affecting up to 75% of reproductive-age women. Symptoms of UL include pelvic pain, pressure, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, anemia, and reproductive dysfunction. Currently, there is no effective long-term pharmacotherapy for UL, making them the leading cause of hysterectomies in the United States. The lack of treatment options is attributed to the absence of accurate animal models and a limited understanding of UL pathogenesis. Previous research has shown the ablation of Rest within the myometrium results in a UL phenotype in mice. PRICKLE1, also known as Rest-interacting LIM-domain Protein (RILP), plays a significant role in the nuclear localization of REST and Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling, making it a critical target for UL studies. In the context of PCP, UL structural proteins show abnormal organization, structure, and expression levels, potentially influenced by PRICKLE1 loss. The exact role of PRICKLE1 in UL pathogenesis remains unclear but may be crucial for developing long-term pharmacotherapies. To explore PRICKLE1's role in UL, we developed a myometrial conditional knockout (cKO) of Prickle1 using our myometrial-specific icre. Our findings demonstrate that PRICKLE1 loss in the myometrium results in a UL phenotype characterized by fibrotic structures, excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) production, altered ECM and smooth muscle cell organization, increased Esr1 and Pgr expression, and dysregulated Wnt/PCP signaling. This novel mouse model serves as a valuable preclinical tool for understanding UL pathogenesis and developing future pharmacotherapies.

Project description:Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was utilized to analyze adenomyotic and normal myometrial tissues from ten AM patients who underwent hysterectomy with myometrial fibrosis confirmed by Masson staining. This analysis established comprehensive proteomic profiles of adenomyosis patients and revealed widespread alterations in the proteome and metabolome within normal and fibrotic myometrium. Key proteins and signaling pathways linked to myometrial fibrogenesis were identified based on proteomic data.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue mechanical homeostasis. Collagens and elastic fibers are the most predominant fibrous ECM proteins providing tissue mechanical function through covalent cross-linking, which is mediated by the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes. In this study, the function of lysyl oxidases in maintaining the integrity of the extracellular matrix in the myometrium and its impact on parturition-timing was investigated. Gene and protein expression analyses demonstrate that a subset of the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes are highly induced in pregnant myometrium. Inhibition of the activity of the lysyl oxidase family of enzymes through β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) delays parturition in mice, in part because of myometrial dysfunction. In BAPN-treated mice, the expression of genes encoding contraction-associated proteins such as connexin 43, oxytocin receptor, and prostaglandin synthase 2, is significantly reduced in the myometrium compared to the untreated control mice. Proteomic analysis revealed that the composition of the ECM is altered in response to BAPN treatment, which demonstrates that the inhibition of the activity of lysyl oxidases disrupted the integrity of the myometrial ECM. Our findings demonstrate that the lysyl oxidases-mediated ECM function is necessary for the myometrium to transition from a quiescent to a contractile phenotype at term for on-time parturition.

Project description: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. 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 µM) for 48 hours, and then total RNA were extracted from each culture. Two comparisons were carried out including: 1. Control 2. Forksolin

Project description:Timely control of parturition is crucial for maternal and fetal health. Failures on this biological process often result in pregnancy complications including preterm birth, labor dystocia, and health disorders on newborn babies. The myometrium is the muscular structure of the uterus maintaining uterine structural integrity and providing contractile force for parturition. The myometrial structure changes in adaptation to the pregnancy via stage-specific transcriptomic profiles. Data from the mouse model indicate that changes of myometrial epigenomic landscape precedes the adoption of stage-specific gene expression pattern at term. The present study documents the transcriptomic profile and epigenomic landscape of term pregnant myometrial tissues and functionally characterize a subset of putative enhancers to further understand the enhancer-gene interaction in human the myometrium.

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.

Project description:Circulating progesterone (P4) levels decline before the onset of parturition in most animals, but not in humans. This has led to the suggestion that there is functional withdrawal of P4 action at the myometrial level prior to labor onset. Mifepristone is widely used to induce human labour In this study, we aimed to establish and validate a model of human myometrial explants for the study of P4 action. Myometrial biopsies obtained at Caesearean section at term were dissected into explants after a portion was immediately snap-frozen (t=0). Transcriptomic comparison of paired explants and primary myometrial cells as well as the hTert immortalized myometrial cell line demonstrated that explants more closely resemble t=0.
