Project description:The cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor’s transcriptional output. Although multiple mechanisms including the tissue-specific coactivators dictate these transcriptional signatures, the feed-forward mechanisms, that evolved to coordinate the cell-type specific transcriptional fulcrums for steroid receptors are not yet identified. In this report, we found that a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors governs the differential effect of GREB1 on steroid hormones in a physiological or pathological context. We found that in physiological (receptive) endometrium, GREB1 is essential for progesterone but not estrogenic responses, whereas in endometriosis, an E2-dependent endometrial pathology, it pre-dominantly mediates estrogenic actions. Specifically, the deletion of GREB1 curtails endometrial receptivity and decidualization, owing to impaired P4-dependent stromal cell proliferation. In contrast, GREB1 is not required for E2-mediated epithelial proliferation of the receptive uterus. Of mechanism, in receptive endometrium, progesterone-induced GREB1 physically interacts with the progesterone receptor on chromatin and functions as a cofactor in a positive feedback mechanism to selectively regulate P4-responses. In pathological conditions (endometriosis), ablation of GREB1 led to the development of smaller endometriotic lesions in mice and reduced E2-driven proliferation of human endometriotic cells. Moreover, E2-induced GREB1 modulated the E2-dependent target gene expression in a feed-forward mechanism. Collectively, acting as a downstream effector, GREB1 governs either P4-responses or E2-responses depending on the physiological or pathological setting. Importantly, this differential action of GREB1 is exerted by a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors, which conceptually advances our understanding of the mechanism(s) that underlie the distinct cell- and tissue-specific actions of steroid hormones.
