Project description:Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with favorable properties for cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Human endometrium harbors a small population of perivascular, clonogenic MSCs (eMSCs) identified by the SUSD2 marker. As for other MSCs, eMSCs require extensive in vitro expansion to generate clinically relevant numbers of cells, resulting in spontaneous differentiation, replicative senescence, and cell death, decreasing therapeutic potency. We previously demonstrated that A83-01, a TGF-b receptor inhibitor maintained eMSCs clonogenicity, promoted proliferation, prevented apoptosis and maintained MSC function in vitro. Here we compare the transcriptome of passaged eMSCs from six women cultured with and without A83-01 for 7 days. We identified 1206 differentially expressed genes using a false discovery rate cut-off at 0.01 and fold change >2. Significant enrichment of genes involved in inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, cell migration and proliferation, and reduced smooth muscle proliferation, collagen fibril and extracellular matrix organization genes were revealed. TGF-b, Wnt and Akt signaling pathways were decreased. Anti-fibrotic and anti-apoptotic genes were induced, and fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast related genes were down-regulated. We validated the enhanced potency of A83-01-treated eMSCs and found increased MSC potency genes (TWIST1, TWIST2, JAG1, LIFR, and SLIT2) and no pluripotency gene expression. Increased angiogenic capacity was functionally demonstrated in vitro, and our angiogenic and cytokine protein arrays further confirmed the angiogenic, antifibrotic and immunomodulatory phenotype of A83-01-treated eMSCs. Overall, we showed that eMSCs culture expanded with A83-01 have improved potential for cell-therapies and regenerative medicine applications.

We identified 1206 differentially expressed genes (DEG) using a false discovery rate cut-off at 0.01 and fold change >2. Significant enrichment of genes involved in anti-inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, cell migration and proliferation, and collagen fibril and extracellular matrix organization were revealed. TGF-β, Wnt and Akt signaling pathways were decreased. Anti-fibrotic and anti-apoptotic genes were induced, and fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast related genes were downregulated. We found increased MSC potency genes (TWIST1, TWIST2, JAG1, LIFR, and SLIT2) validating the enhanced potency of A83-01-treated eMSCs, and importantly no pluripotency gene expression. We also identified eMSCs' potential for secreting exosomes, possibly explaining their paracrine properties. Angiogenic and cytokine protein arrays confirmed the angiogenic, anti-fibrotic and immunomodulatory phenotype of A83-01-treated eMSCs, and increased angiogenic activity was functionally demonstrated in vitro. eMSCs culture expanded with A83-01 have enhanced clinically relevant properties, suggesting their potential for cell-therapies and regenerative medicine applications.

Project description:Every year more than 42,000 women die of endometrial cancer, mainly due to recurrent or metastatic disease. The presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as well as progesterone receptor (PR) positivity has been correlated with improved prognosis. This study describes two mechanisms by which progesterone inhibits metastatic spread of endometrial cancer: by stimulating T-cell infiltration and by inhibiting epithelial-to-mesenchymal cell transition (EMT). Paraffin sections from patients with (n=9) or without (n=10) progressive endometrial cancer (recurrent or metastatic disease) were assessed for the presence of CD4+ (helper), CD8+ (cytotoxic) and Foxp3+ (regulatory) T-lymphocytes and PR expression. Progressive disease was observed to be associated with significant loss of TILs and loss of PR expression. Frozen tumor samples, used for genome-wide expression analysis, showed significant regulation of pathways involved in immunosurveillance, EMT and metastasis. For a number of genes, such as CXCL14, DKK1, DKK4 and WIF1, quantitive RT-PCR was performed to verify down regulation in progressive disease. To corroborate the role of progesterone in regulating invasion, Ishikawa (IK) endometrial cancer cell lines stably transfected with PRA (IKPRA), PRB (IKPRB) and PRA+PRB (IKPRAB) were cultured in the presence/absence of progesterone (MPA) and used for genome-wide expression analysis, Boyden- and wound healing migration assays, and IHC for known EMT makers. IKPRB and IKPRAB cell lines showed MPA induced inhibition of migration and loss of the mesenchymal marker vimentin at the invasive front of the wound healing assay. Furthermore, pathway analysis of significantly MPA-regulated genes showed significant down regulation of important pathways involved in EMT, immunesuppression and metastasis: such as IL6-, TGF-β and Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Intact progesterone signaling in non-progressive endometrial cancer seems to be an important factor stimulating immunosurveillance and inhibiting transition from an epithelial to a more mesenchymal, more invasive phenotype. From 4 non-progressive and 4 progressive patients, snap-frozen endometrial cancer tumor specimens were used for microarray analysis. Gene expression data of progressive disease was compared with non-progressive disease.

The PRA- and PRB-expressing Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell line (IKPRAB36) was cultured for 48h in the absence or presence of 1nM MPA (n = 3). The RNA was isolated and used for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Cells cultured in the presence of MPA were compared with cells cultured in the absence of MPA.

Project description:Context: Endometrium in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presents altered gene expression indicating progesterone resistance and predisposing to reduced endometrial receptivity and endometrial cancer. Objective: We hypothesized that an altered endocrine/metabolic environment in PCOS may result in an endometrial M-bM-^@M-^\disease phenotypeM-bM-^@M-^] affecting the gene expression of different endometrial cell populations, including stem cells and their differentiated progeny. Design and setting: A prospective study conducted at an academic medical center. Patients and Main Outcome Measures: Proliferative phase endometrium was obtained from 6 overweight/obese PCOS (NIH criteria) and 6 overweight/obese controls. Microarray analysis was performed on fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-isolated endometrial epithelial cells (eEP), endothelial cells (eEN), stromal fibroblasts (eSF) and mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC). Gene expression data were validated using microfluidic Q-RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results: The comparison between eEPPCOS and eEPCtrl showed dysregulation of inflammatory genes and genes with oncogenic potential (CCL2, IL-6, ORM1, TNAIFP6, SFRP4, SPARC). eSFPCOS and eSFCtrl showed upregulation of inflammatory genes (C4A/B, CCL2, ICAM1, TNFAIP3). Similarly, in eMSCPCOS vs. eMSCCtrl the most upregulated genes were related to inflammation and cancer (IL-8, ICAM1, SPRR3, LCN2). IHC scoring showed increased expression of CCL2 in eEPPCOS and eSFPCOS compared to eEPCtrl and eSFCtrl and IL-6 in eEPPCOS compared to eEPCtrl. Conclusions: Isolated endometrial cell populations in women with PCOS showed altered gene expression revealing inflammation and pro-oncogenic changes, independent of BMI, especially in eEPPCOS and eMSCPCOS, compared to controls. The study reveals an endometrial M-bM-^@M-^\disease phenotypeM-bM-^@M-^] in women with PCOS with potential negative effects on endometrial function and long-term health. Proliferative phase endometrium was obtained from 6 overweight/obese PCOS (NIH criteria) and 6 overweight/obese controls. Microarray analysis was performed on fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-isolated endometrial epithelial cells (eEP), endothelial cells (eEN), stromal fibroblasts (eSF) and mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC). Tissue samples were obtained through the National Institute of Health (NIH)/University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Human Endometrial Tissue and DNA Bank in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent was obtained from all participants in the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, and the study was approved by the UCSF Committee on Human Research. The clinical summary of the study participants is shown in Table 1. Eleven proliferative phase endometrial biopsies (Pipelle, Cooper Surgical Shelton, Connecticut) and one curettage specimen were collected from over-weight (Body Mass Index [BMI, kg/m2] M-bM-^IM-% 27 < 29.9; n=1) and obese (BMI M-bM-^IM-% 30; n=5) women with PCOS (age 30.5M-BM-1 2.1 yrs, BMI 34.13M-BM-1 2.2, NIH criteria (17) and overweight (n=2) and obese (n=4) control women (age 36.50M-BM-11.70 yrs, BMI 35.73M-BM-13.96). All PCOS subjects had normal 17-hydroxyprogesterone, prolactin and thyroid hormone levels. Control samples were obtained from healthy volunteer and women undergoing benign gynecological surgery. All controls reported menstrual cycles with regular interval (25-35 days) and no clinical evidence of having PCOS. Neither PCOS nor control subjects were exposed to hormonal medications for at least 2 months prior to tissue sampling and were confirmed not pregnant.
