Project description:The hypothesis that male michrochimerism in eutopic endometrium is a factor for endometriosis, as indicated by indirect evidence was examined in endometrial samples from control (Group 1) and stage IV ovarian endometriosis (Group 2), either fertile (Group 1A and 2A) or Infertile (Group 1B and 2B) pateints. 6 coding and 10 non-coding genes showed bi-modal pattern of expression characterised by low expression in samples obtained from fertile patients and high expressions in infertile patients. Several coding and non-coding MSY-linked genes displayed michrochimerism in form of presence of their respective DNA inserts along with their microarray-detectable expression in endometrium irrespective of fertility history and disease.

Project description:Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometriosis (OE), significantly impacts fertility by often leading to decreased oocyte quality and impaired ovarian function. Iron overload has been identified as a critical factor driving disease progression in endometriosis lesions. This study aims to investigate the effects of iron overload on follicular function in OE-associated infertility (OEI). Using single-cell sequencing technologies, we first identified oocyte dysfunction in OEI patients and established a single-cell atlas of iron overload in follicular fluid prior to ovulation in OEI patients. This atlas revealed dynamic changes in iron metabolism and identified iron-induced senescence phenotypes. We also examined the differentiation trajectories of granulosa cells and the relationship between macrophage M1/M2 phenotypes and iron metabolism. Additionally, we utilized Stereo-seq (spatiotemporal enhanced resolution omics-sequencing) to construct a spatial transcriptomic map of iron-overloaded mouse ovaries, uncovering various enriched senescence phenotypes. Finally, we extended our findings by exploring the dynamics of iron metabolism imbalance in aging human ovaries. Overall, these findings enhance our understanding of iron overload-related cellular interactions and molecular characteristics in ovarian pathology, providing new therapeutic targets for improving oocyte quality in OEI patients.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disorder. A number of studies have confirmed that the occurrence of disease in endometriosis patients is associated with metabolic changes in biological fluids and tissues. We set out to investigate the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with ovarian endometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> The current research project is an exploratory cohort study on endometriosis. A total of 19 infertile patients with ovarian endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy were enrolled in this study and 23 age- and BMI-matched controls (women with infertility due to male or tubal factors). All the patients underwent IVF treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol and completed follicular fluid (FF) collection at oocyte retrieval. The metabolomics of FF samples was analyzed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-orbitrap exploris-mass spectrometer (UHPLC-OE-MS). The best combination of biomarkers was then selected by performing stepwise logistic regression analysis with backward elimination. </p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Fifteen metabolites were identified as biomarkers associated with endometriosis. A final model containing 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, biotin, n-acetyl-L-methionine and n-methylnicotinamide was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic analysis confirmed the value of these parameters in diagnosing endometriosis, with a sensitivity of 94.7% and a specificity of 95.7%. Analysis of fortification via the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome showed that 15 metabolites were enriched in 8 metabolic pathways.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Metabolomics based on UHPLC-OE-MS effectively characterized the metabolomics analysis of FF in patients with ovarian endometriosis. These findings may provide a new basis for a better understanding of how diseases progress and for the discovery of new biomarkers. </p>

Project description:Endometriosis, a benign inflammatory disease whereby endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, is a risk factor for endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers. In particular, ovarian endometriomas, cystic lesions of deeply invasive endometriosis, are considered the precursor lesion for ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCCC). To explore the transcriptomic landscape, OCCC from women with pathology-proven concurrent endometriosis (n = 4) were compared to benign endometriomas (n = 4) by bulk RNA and small-RNA sequencing.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.

Project description:The mechanism by which endometriosis, a common gynecological disease characterized by chronic pelvic pain and infertility, causes infertility remains elusive. Luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, the most common type of ovulatory dysfunction, is a cause of endometriosis-associated infertility involving reduced numbers of retrieved and mature oocytes. Ovulation is controlled by luteinizing hormone and paracrine signals produced within the follicle microenvironment. Generally, interleukin (IL)-1β is elevated in endometriosis follicular fluid, whereby it amplifies ovulation signals by activating extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β pathways. However, this amplification of ovulation by IL-1β does not occur in patients with endometriosis. To illuminate the mechanism of ovulatory dysfunction in endometriosis, we analyzed the impact of oxidative stress and IL-1β expression in endometriosis follicles. We found that oxidative stress decreased EZH2 expression and reduced H3K27Me3 levels in endometriosis ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). Selective Ezh2 depletion in mice ovarian GCs reduced fertility by disturbing cumulus-oocyte complex expansion and reducing epidermal growth factor-like factor expression. Gene expression and H3K27Me3 ChIP-sequencing of GCs revealed IL-1 receptor 2 (IL-1R2), a high-affinity IL-1β-receptor that suppresses IL-1β-mediated inflammatory cascades during ovulation, as a crucial target gene of the EZH2-H3K27Me3 axis. Moreover, IL-1β addition did not restore ovulation upon Ezh2 knockdown, indicating a vital function of IL-1R2 in endometriosis. Thus, our findings show that reducing EZH2 and H3K27Me3 in GCs suppressed ovulatory signals by increasing IL-1R2 expression, which may ultimately contribute to endometriosis-associated infertility.

Project description:As the evolution of miRNA genes has been found to be one of the important factors in formation of the modern type of man, we performed a comparative analysis of the evolution of miRNA genes in two archaic hominines, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens denisova, and elucidated the expression of their target mRNAs in bain.A comparative analysis of the genomes of primates, including species in the genus Homo, identified a group of miRNA genes having fixed substitutions with important implications for the evolution of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens denisova. The mRNAs targeted by miRNAs with mutations specific for Homo sapiens denisova exhibited enhanced expression during postnatal brain development in modern humans. By contrast, the expression of mRNAs targeted by miRNAs bearing variations specific for Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was shown to be enhanced in prenatal brain development.Our results highlight the importance of changes in miRNA gene sequences in the course of Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis evolution. The genetic alterations of miRNAs regulating the spatiotemporal expression of multiple genes in the prenatal and postnatal brain may contribute to the progressive evolution of brain function, which is consistent with the observations of fine technical and typological properties of tools and decorative items reported from archaeological Denisovan sites. The data also suggest that differential spatial-temporal regulation of gene products promoted by the subspecies-specific mutations in the miRNA genes might have occurred in the brains of Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, potentially contributing to the cultural differences between these two archaic hominines.

Project description:PurposeWe investigated the evidence of recent positive selection in the human phototransduction system at single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and gene level.MethodsSNP genotyping data from the International HapMap Project for European, Eastern Asian, and African populations was used to discover differences in haplotype length and allele frequency between these populations. Numeric selection metrics were computed for each SNP and aggregated into gene-level metrics to measure evidence of recent positive selection. The level of recent positive selection in phototransduction genes was evaluated and compared to a set of genes shown previously to be under recent selection, and a set of highly conserved genes as positive and negative controls, respectively.ResultsSix of 20 phototransduction genes evaluated had gene-level selection metrics above the 90th percentile: RGS9, GNB1, RHO, PDE6G, GNAT1, and SLC24A1. The selection signal across these genes was found to be of similar magnitude to the positive control genes and much greater than the negative control genes.ConclusionsThere is evidence for selective pressure in the genes involved in retinal phototransduction, and traces of this selective pressure can be demonstrated using SNP-level and gene-level metrics of allelic variation. We hypothesize that the selective pressure on these genes was related to their role in low light vision and retinal adaptation to ambient light changes. Uncovering the underlying genetics of evolutionary adaptations in phototransduction not only allows greater understanding of vision and visual diseases, but also the development of patient-specific diagnostic and intervention strategies.
