Dysregulated expression of GATA2 and GATA6 transcription factors in adenomyosis: implications for impaired endometrial receptivity. F&S SCIENCE 2024; 5:92-103. [PMID: 37972693 DOI: 10.1016/j.xfss.2023.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of adenomyosis on the localized expression of the GATA binding proteins 2 and 6 (GATA2 and GATA6) zinc-finger transcription factors that are involved in proliferation of hematopoietic and endocrine cell lineages, cell differentiation, and organogenesis, potentially leading to impaired endometrial implantation. DESIGN Laboratory based experimental study. SETTING Academic hospital and laboratory. PATIENTS Human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) of reproductive age patients, 18-45 years of age, with adenomyosis were compared with patients with no pathology and leiomyomatous uteri as controls (n = 4 in each group, respectively). Additionally, midsecretory phase endometrial sections were obtained from patients with adenomyosis and control patients with leiomyoma (n = 8 in each group, respectively). INTERVENTIONS GATA2 and GATA6 immunohistochemistry and H-SCORE were performed on the midsecretory phase endometrial sections from adenomyosis and leiomyoma control patients (n = 8 each, respectively). Control and adenomyosis patient HESC cultures were treated with placebo or 10-8 M estradiol (E2), or decidualization media (EMC) containing 10-8 M E2, 10-7 M medroxyprogesterone acetate, and 5 × 10-5 M cAMP for 6 and 10 days. Additionally, control HESC cultures (n = 4) were transfected with scrambled small interfering RNA (siRNA) (control) or GATA2-specific siRNAs for 6 days while adenomyosis HESC cultures (n = 4) were transfected with human GATA2 expression vectors to silence or induce GATA2 overexpression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Immunohistochemistry was performed to obtain GATA2 and GATA6 H-SCORES in adenomyosis vs. control patient endometrial tissue. Expression of GATA2, GATA6, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), prolactin (PRL), progesterone receptor (PGR), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Interleukin receptor 11 (IL11R) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were analyzed using by qPCR with normalization to ACTB. Silencing and overexpression experiments also had the corresponding mRNA levels of the above factors analyzed. Western blot analysis was performed on isolated proteins from transfection experiments. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry revealed an overall fourfold lower GATA2 and fourfold higher GATA6 H-SCORE level in the endometrial stromal cells of patients with adenomyosis vs. controls. Decidual induction with EMC resulted in significantly lower GATA2, PGR, PRL and IGFBP1 mRNA levels in HESC cultures from patients with adenomyosis patient vs. controls. Leukemia inhibitory factor and IL11R mRNA levels were also significantly dysregulated in adenomyosis HESCs compared with controls. . Silencing of GATA2 expression in control HESCs induced an adenomyosis-like state with significant reductions in GATA2, increases in GATA6 and accompanying aberrations in PGR, PRL, ESR1 and LIF levels. Conversely, GATA2 overexpression via vector in adenomyosis HESCs caused partial restoration of the defective decidual response with significant increases in GATA2, PGR, PRL and LIF expression. CONCLUSION In-vivo and in-vitro experiment results demonstrate that there is an overall inverse relationship between endometrial GATA2 and GATA6 levels in patients with adenomyosis who have diminished GATA2 levels and concurrently elevated GATA6 levels. Additionally, lower GATA2 and higher GATA6 levels, together with aberrant levels of important receptors and implantation factors, such as ESR1, PGR, IGFBP1, PRL, LIF, and IL11R mRNA in HESCs from patients with adenomyosis or GATA2-silenced control HESCs, support impaired decidualization. These effects were partially restored with GATA2 overexpression in adenomyosis HESCs, demonstrating a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Endometriosis is an immune chronic inflammatory disease, and there are currently no more effective drugs for treating endometriosis due to its unknown etiology. Salbutamol is a β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonist commonly used to treat asthma by selectively activating β2 receptors on airway smooth muscle and leukocytes, exerting bronchial dilation and synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. In recent years, β2AR agonists have been used in endometriosis studies, and we speculate that salbutamol may have a therapeutic effect on endometriosis. The purpose of this research was to explore the therapeutic effect of salbutamol on endometriosis mice. The mouse endometriosis model was established and treated with different doses of salbutamol. Endometrial lesions were harvested for pathological diagnosis, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Masson staining, and toluidine blue analysis. We found that the number and size of endometriotic lesions were all significantly decreased after 3 weeks of treatment with different doses of salbutamol on endometriosis model mice (P < 0.05). After Salbutamol treatment, the amount of mast cells (toluidine blue) and macrophages (F4/80) in the lesions as well as the expressions of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ɑ, platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGFB), CD31, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, Masson staining, BCL2, TUBB3, substance P (SP), and nerve growth factor (NGF) were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). These results suggested that salbutamol could effectively treat endometriosis in mice by reducing immune inflammatory cells and factors, angiogenesis, and fibrosis, increasing apoptosis of endometriotic lesions, and decreasing neurogenesis.

Abstract
Mancozeb (ethylene bis-dithiocarbamate) is an organometallic fungicide and is widely used in agriculture and is related to women’s spontaneous abortion and menstrual abnormalities. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can impede endometrial fibrosis via suppressing PI3K
pathway, but its effect on the activity of endometrial cells induced by mancozeb/EDU is unclear. This study intends to explore the protective effects of co-culture with BMSCs on endometrial cells after mancozeb/EDU treatment. Endometrial cells were randomized into control group, mancozeb/EDU
group (mancozeb/EDU treatment), BMSCs group (cells were co-cultured with BMSCs after mancozeb/EDU treatment), and inhibitor group (treated with PI3K-Akt-mTOR inhibitor) followed by analysis of the expression of PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway-related proteins, cell viability by MTT and cell invasion
and migration by Transwell and scratch test. Mancozeb/EDU treatment significantly inhibited PI3K-Akt-mTOR signals and cell proliferation, increased apoptosis and decreased cell invasion and migration, which were all reversed by co-culture with BMSCs. Additionally, the co-culture with BMSCs
modulated the In Vitro viability of endometrial cells by influencing PI3K-Akt-mTOR signal transduction pathway, which can be inverted by PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway-specific antagonists. In conclusion, BMSCs exerted a protective effect on the In Vitro viability of endometrial cells
by manipulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal transduction, which helped to protect endometrial cells from damage caused by mancozeb/ETU treatment.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy originating from the epithelium of the bile duct. The prognosis of patients is poor regardless of radical resection and chemoradiotherapy. The current classification and prognostic model of CCA are unable to satisfy the requirements for predicting the clinical outcome and exploring therapeutic targets. Estrogen signaling is involved in diverse cancer types, and it has long been established that CCA could be regulated by estrogen. In our study, estrogen response was identified to be significantly and stably correlated with poor prognosis in CCA. Employing several algorithms, CCA was classified into ES cluster A and B. ES cluster B was mainly composed of patients with fluke infection and overlapped with CCA cluster 1/2, and ES cluster A was mainly composed of patients without fluke infection and overlapped with CCA cluster 3/4. COMT and HSD17B1 were identified to be responsible for the differential estrogen response between ES clusters A and B, and the estrogen response may be correlated with the differentiation and cancer stemness of CCA at the single-cell level. Complement activation and the expression of C3 and C5, which are mainly expressed by CCA cells, were significantly downregulated in ES cluster B. An estrogen response risk score (ESRS) model was constructed to predict the prognosis of CCA, followed by a nomogram integrating ESRS and clinical features. Finally, altered pathways, applicable drugs and sensitivity to chemical drugs were analyzed specific to the estrogen response. In summary, our results provide insights into the role of the estrogen response in CCA progression as well as applicable drugs and potential therapeutic targets in estrogen metabolism, the complement system and ESRS-related pathways.

Abstract
The FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) binds progesterone receptor (PR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and androgen receptor (AR) to coregulate their transcriptional activity. We evaluated FKBP51 expression and function in human leiomyoma vs. myometrial tissues and primary cultures to discover FKBP51 role(s) in the pathogenesis of leiomyomas. Quantification of in situ FKBP51 mRNA and protein levels inpaired myometrial vs. leiomyoma tissues from proliferative and secretory phases were analyzed by qPCR (n = 14), immunoblotting (n = 20), and immunohistochemistry (n = 12). Control (scramble) vs. FKBP5 siRNA-transfected leiomyoma cell cultures were assessed for proliferation, apoptosis, and mRNA levels of genes involved in cell survival and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. Significantly higher FKBP5 mRNA levels were detected in leiomyoma vs. paired myometrium (P < 0.001). Immunoblot (P = 0.001) and immunostaining (P ≤ 0.001) confirmed increased FKBP51 levels in leiomyoma vs. paired myometrium. Compared to control siRNA transfection, FKBP5-silenced leiomyoma cell cultures displayed significantly decreased cell survival factors and reduced proliferation (P < 0.05). Moreover, qPCR analysis revealed significantly lower mRNA levels of ECM, TIPM1, and TIPM3 proteins in FKBP5-silenced leiomyoma cell cultures (P < 0.05). Increased FKBP51 expression in leiomyoma likely involves dysregulation of steroid signaling by blocking GR and PR action and promoting proliferation and ECM production. Evaluating the effect of FKBP51 inhibition in preclinical studies will clarify its significance as a potential therapeutic approach against leiomyoma.

Pharmacological inhibition of mitochondrial soluble adenylyl cyclase in astrocytes causes activation of AMP-activated protein kinase and induces breakdown of glycogen. Glia 2021; 69:2828-2844. [PMID: 34378239 DOI: 10.1002/glia.24072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Mobilization of astrocyte glycogen is key for processes such as synaptic plasticity and memory formation but the link between neuronal activity and glycogen breakdown is not fully known. Activation of cytosolic soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in astrocytes has been suggested to link neuronal depolarization and glycogen breakdown partly based on experiments employing pharmacological inhibition of sAC. However, several studies have revealed that sAC located within mitochondria is a central regulator of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, pharmacological sAC inhibition is likely to affect both cytosolic and mitochondrial sAC and if bioenergetic readouts are studied, the observed effects are likely to stem from inhibition of mitochondrial rather than cytosolic sAC. Here, we report that a pharmacologically induced inhibition of sAC activity lowers mitochondrial respiration, induces phosphorylation of the metabolic master switch AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and decreases glycogen stores in cultured primary murine astrocytes. From these data and our discussion of the literature, mitochondrial sAC emerges as a key regulator of astrocyte bioenergetics. Lastly, we discuss the challenges of investigating the functional and metabolic roles of cytosolic versus mitochondrial sAC in astrocytes employing the currently available pharmacological tool compounds.

Abstract
Oxidative stress refers to the dramatic increase in the production of free radicals in human and animal bodies or the decrease in the ability to scavenging free radicals, thus breaking the antioxidation-oxidation balance. Various factors can induce oxidative stress in pig production. Oxidative stress has an important effect on pig performance and healthy growth, and has become one of the important factors restricting pig production. Based on the overview of the generation of oxidative stress, its effects on pigs, and signal transduction pathways, this paper discussed the nutritional measures to alleviate oxidative stress in pigs, in order to provide ideas for the nutritional research of anti-oxidative stress in pigs.
