Steroid receptors in the stromal cells of endometrium and its disease counterpart tissue endometriosis play critical physiologic roles. We found that mRNA protein levels estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) were strikingly higher, whereas 1 (ESR1), total progesterone (PGR), B (PGR B) significantly lower endometriotic versus endometrial cells. Because ESR2 displayed most striking differential expression between cells, mechanisms for this difference are unknown, we tested hypothesis alteration DNA...
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), a transcriptional factor essential for activation of multiple steroidogenic genes estrogen biosynthesis, undetectable in normal endometrial stromal cells and aberrantly expressed endometriotic cells.The objective the study was to unravel mechanism differential SF-1 expression cells.We identified CpG island flanking promoter exon I region determined its methylation patterns conducted at Northwestern...
Estradiol and its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) alpha ERbeta, play critical roles in endometrium endometriosis. Levels of due to pathological hypomethylation promoter, are significantly higher endometriotic vs. endometrial tissue stromal cells, whereas ERalpha levels lower regulates gene expression via alternatively used promoters A, B, C.The aim the study was determine whether high ERbeta cells from ovarian endometriomas regulate expression.ERbeta knockdown increased mRNA...
ObjectiveTo assess the cellular and molecular landscape of adenomyosis.DesignSingle-cell analysis genome-wide messenger RNA (mRNA) expression (single-cell sequencing) matched tissues endometrium, adenomyosis, myometrium using relatively large numbers viable cells.SettingNot applicable.Patient(s)Patients (n = 3, age range 40–44 years) undergoing hysterectomy for diffuse adenomyosis.Main Outcome Measure(s)Definition adenomyotic, endometrial myometrial from same uterus single-cell sequencing...
Retinoic acid (RA) controls multiple biological processes via exerting opposing effects on cell survival. Retinol uptake into cells is controlled by stimulated RA 6 (STRA6). then produced from retinol in the cytosol. Partitioning of between nuclear receptors receptor α and peroxisome-proliferator-activated β/δ regulated cytosol-to-nuclear shuttling proteins cellular binding protein 2 (CRABP2) fatty 5 (FABP5), which induce apoptosis or enhance survival, respectively. The roles these...
To examine the effect of a preoperative transversus abdominis plane infiltration on postoperative quality recovery and analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.The study was randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Seventy-five healthy women were randomized to receive with 0.5% ropivacaine, 0.25% or saline. Postoperative score (QoR-40), pain, opioid consumption assessed up 24 hours after surgical procedure. Data analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test. Post hoc...
