▼ La sub-fertilità rappresenta uno dei principali problemi che l'industria lattiero-casearia si trova ad affrontare attualmente. Si tratta di un problema multifattoriale che dipende da diversi aspetti della funzione riproduttiva. La qualità dell'ovocita, determinata durante la follicologenesi, è sicuramente cruciale per ottenere risultati riproduttivi ottimali. Per migliorare la fertilità femminile nel bovino è fondamentale definire i fattori e i meccanismi che determinano la qualità del gamete femminile, in quanto il declino della funzione riproduttiva in questa specie è dovuto principalmente alla scarsa qualità degli ovociti. In particolare, è importante conoscere quali proteine regolano la meiosi, la fecondabilità e lo sviluppo embrionale dell'ovocita. In questo progetto, abbiamo considerato principalmente il ruolo del
Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component-
1 (PGRMC1) sia nell'ovocita che nel compartimento follicolare, considerato che il dialogo tra compartimento germinale e compartimento somatico è uno dei fattori chiave coinvolti nell'acquisizione della competenza allo sviluppo del gamete femminile.
Il PGRMC1 è una proteina multifunzionale ed altamente conservata in specie anche filogeneticamente distanti. Nei mammiferi è espressa in diversi sistemi, compresi gli organi riproduttivi, e localizza in diversi compartimenti subcellulari. Tuttavia, il suo ruolo e il preciso meccanismo d'azione in ogni sistema e/o compartimento subcellulare non sono ancora del tutto conosciuti.
La parte più considerevole di questo progetto di dottorato riguarda gli studi effettuati sul ruolo del PGRMC1 nella divisione cellulare, data la sua localizzazione a livello di fuso mitotico e meiotico. Abbiamo dimostrato che la deplezione del PGRMC1 determina difetti nella divisione cellulare e la sua interazione con l'Aurora chinasi B (AURKB) indica che potrebbe svolgere la sua azione durante la citodieresi, l'ultima fase della divisione. Durante la maturazione meiotica, abbiamo valutato anche il suo ruolo nel mediare l'azione del
progesterone (P4) confrontando il suo effetto con quello del recettore nucleare del
progesterone (nPGR). L'inibizione di entrambi i tipi di recettore determina lo stesso effetto sull'organizzazione della piastra metafasica e sulla competenza allo sviluppo dell'ovocita, ma in fasi differenti.
Inoltre, abbiamo testato l'ipotesi che il PGRMC1 possa modulare la funzione del nucleolo. Studi di immunofluorescenza hanno confermato la presenza del PGRMC1 nel nucleolo di cellule della granulosa (bGC) e negli ovociti di bovino, nonchè la colocalizzazione con la nucleolina, la proteina nucleolare più abbondante che svolge importanti funzioni in questo compartimento
subcellulare. Inoltre, la down-regolazione del PGRMC1 determina uno spostamento della nucleolina dal nucleolo al nucleoplasma suggerendo un'associazione funzionale tra queste due proteine. Questa interazione è probabilmente mediata dalla presenza di ulteriori molecole in quanto successivi esperimenti di "in-situ proximity ligation" mostrano che le due…

▼ Nicotinic signalling plays an important role in coordinating the response of neuronal networks in many brain regions. During pre- and postnatal circuit formation, neurotransmission mediated by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) influences neuronal survival and regulates neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity. Nicotinic signalling is also necessary for the proper function of the hippocampal formation (HF) and prefrontal cortex (PFC), which are anatomically and functionally connected and facilitate higher-order cognitive functions. The decline or dysfunction in nicotinic signalling and nAChR function has been observed in various neurological disorders, and the disruption or alteration of nicotinic signalling in the HF and/or PFC can impair learning and memory. While the location and functional role of the α4β2* nAChR isoform has been well characterized in the medial portion of the PFC, this is not well-established in the HF. What is the role of α4β2* nAChRs in excitatory principal neurons of the HF during early development? Growing evidence suggests that the
progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone (ALLO) plays a role in mediating the proper function of the HF and the PFC, and that it may also inhibit nAChR function. How mightALLO influence α4β2* nAChR function during early development and/or affect neuronal excitation within a living system? This thesis aims to develop a foundation towards understanding the role of α4β2* nAChR-mediated neurotransmission in principal neurons of the HF during development, and the role of ALLO in modulating α4β2* nicotinic
receptor function during this period. In this thesis, I demonstrate that functional ⍺4β2* nAChRs are present in principal neurons of the developing mouse HF. The function of these receptors is developmentally regulated, and nicotinic excitation differs between male and female mice. I also demonstrate that ALLO negatively modulates α4β2* nAChR function in living neurons. I show for the first time that crosstalk between the
membrane progesterone receptor complex and the nAChR likely facilitates the actions of ALLO to modulate nAChR function. The findings in this thesis present new insights on ⍺4β2* nAChR expression and function, while adding to our understanding of how these receptors may influence neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity during early development.

Progesterone receptors in the rat brain and their role in

▼ Estrogen (E2) and
progesterone (P4) regulate synaptic
plasticity in the adult rat hippocampus during the normal rat
estrous cycle and in response to deafferenting lesions. E2
increases neurite sprouting, whereas P4 antagonizes the E2-induced
neurite outgrowth. Moreover, in the in vitro wounding-in-a-dish
lesion model with glia-neuron co-cultures, E2 increases neurite
outgrowth and P4 antagonizes the E2-induced neurite outgrowth.
However, the P4-E2 antagonism of neurite outgrowth was only seen in
the presence of microglia. The receptors involved in the P4
responses to neurite outgrowth are not well understood. Two
progesterone mediators, Pgrmc1 and Pgr are studied in this thesis.
❧ Both Pgrmc1 and Pgr are expressed in the CA1, CA3 and DG
hippocampal neurons, although their expression patterns differ
between the neuronal subtypes. Both Pgrmc1 and Pgr are also
regulated by E2 and P4 in the hippocampal neurons. Pgrmc1 mRNA is
upregulated by both E2 and P4 in CA1, CA3 and DG neurons, while Pgr
is hormonally regulated in CA1 neurons only. The differential
expression and regulation of Pgrmc1 and Pgr in different
hippocampal neurons could be due to possible different functions
mediated by each in the different neurons. Pgrmc1 and Pgr are also
expressed in glia. While both are expressed in astrocytes, only
Pgrmc1 is expressed in microglia. ❧ Using a new microglia add-back
protocol, microglia are shown to be required for P4-E2 antagonism
of neurite outgrowth. However, physical contact between microglia
and neurons is not required for the P4 antagonism, and soluble
factors from activated microglia suffice to restore P4-E2
antagonism. Moreover, Pgrmc1 expression in microglia is required
for the P4-E2 antagonism of neurite outgrowth. ❧ These findings
together provide evidence of a P4 mediator in microglia with novel
roles in P4 regulation of neurite outgrowth and in regulation of
microglial activation. Understanding the mechanisms involved in
P4-E2 regulation of synaptic plasticity is important in
optimization of postmenopausal hormone therapy and in the
therapeutic use of P4 for traumatic brain injury.

▼ G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) deliver approximately 80% of all signals across the cell membrane and are targets for around 26% of all prescription drugs. Conversely, over 85% of the GPCR family remain undrugged, often despite clear linkage to disease. Important reasons for this are that high-throughput screening has failed to deliver optimal drug leads and a lack of structural knowledge about how ligands engage GPCRs has hindered compound optimisation.
The neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1) is a GPCR for the tridecapeptide neurotensin (NT). Activation of NTS1 by NT has been implicated in schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and hypothermia, as well as cancer progression and drug abuse. Crystal structures of NTS1 bound to fragments of NT, as well as mutagenesis data, have defined intermediate states of NTS1 along with the high affinity binding site for NT. However, little is known about this receptor’s conformational dynamics and conformations that mediate particular signalling responses upon ligand interaction. Furthermore, transient interactions that may underlie NT binding remain uncharted.
Like most integral membrane proteins, GPCRs are unstable in isolation, while recombinant expression yields remain poor. To overcome those hurdles, our laboratory used cellular high-throughput encapsulation, solubilisation and screening (CHESS)-based directed evolution to generate thermostable mutants of NTS1 suitable for biophysical studies. This thesis outlines expression of CHESS-derived NTS1 mutants to the E. coli inner membrane, their reconstitution in n-dodecyl β-D-maltopyranoside (DDM) micelles and their purification close to heterogeneity in the absence of stabilising ligands. Using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) we could show that our NTS1 mutant is monomeric when reconstituted in DDM micelles while a label free cell signalling assay indicated that it is signalling competent despite being thermostabilised. Dissociation constants (Kd’s) for a number of NT truncates as well as non-peptide ligands could be determined for one of our NTS1 mutants by means of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy.
Saturation transfer difference NMR (STD NMR) was applied to detect low affinity peptide interactions to our engineered NTS1 mutants. The high stability of these receptors in detergent allowed us to repeatedly measure the binding of NT fragments over periods of up to 96 h at 25°C without significant loss of STD binding signal. Analysis of STD spectra enabled epitope mapping of the NT10-13/NTS1 interface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of both NT8-13 and NT10-13 in complex with a homology model of our NTS1 mutant supported our solution NMR derived NT binding pose, which is not in complete agreement with available crystal structures. We show that the Y11 sidechain of NT10-13 is likely to populate two distinct conformations while the crystal structures only reveal one conformation.
Furthermore, utilising a methionine biosynthesis pathway inhibition strategy we were able to achieve more than 95%…

▼ In this thesis I have investigated the molecular signatures of receptor activation, using the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1AR) as a prototypical class A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). I have used a minimally thermostabilised turkey β1AR and expressed it functionally in insect cells using a baculovirus system. The work described here established the labelling, expression, purification and sample preparation of the receptor in LMNG detergent micelles for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. GPCRs are highly dynamic molecular systems, and the use of solution NMR is highly suited to the study of fine structural changes that take place within the receptor as a consequence of receptor activation. To this end the receptor was selectively labelled with 13C at the methyl position of methionine residues. The labelling was carried out during insect cell expression, by supplementing methionine deficient media with the labelled amino acid. In this way the methionines throughout the receptor served as reporters. The radio frequency signals emitted by the nuclei of these labelled residues were monitored. NMR experiments were recorded on the receptor in the presence of ligands of various efficacies together with and without G-protein mimetic nanobodies, and changes in the signal were recorded. This allowed for a pattern of molecular signatures to be established, reporting on the effect ligands and G-protein mimetics have on the receptor. This identified two conformational equilibria, between an inactive and a ligand bound-pre-activated state and between a more and a less active ternary state when bound to a G-protein mimetic. Furthermore, it was also observed that ligand binding to the G-protein mimetic saturated basal active state elicits further changes on the receptor cytoplasmic side, demonstrating that ligand efficacy modulates the nature of receptor interaction with G-proteins, which may underpin partial agonism. It was also observed that ligand binding affects the dynamics and rigidity of the receptor, with a full agonist bound receptor exhibiting extensive µs to ms timescale dynamics, compared to a more rigid nanobody bound state. The increased dynamics suggest that full agonist binding primes the receptor for interaction with various downstream signalling partners. Once this coupling takes place, ligand efficacy determines the quality of interaction in this rigidified system.
In addition to activation by ligands, certain proteins, such as antibodies can cause receptor agonism in the absence of a small molecule agonist. An example of this takes place in chronic Chagas’ heart disease, where anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies inappropriately cross-react to β1AR, leading to chronic cardiac overstimulation and heart failure. In this thesis, the production of a published monoclonal antibody fragment was explored, in order to generate a tool for the study of this activation mechanism.

▼ Among pathologies of the old people, dementia represent one of the main sanitary problems. Approximately 70% of the dementia cases it is represented by the Alzheimer’s Disease, a neurodegenerative cerebral pathology, whose prevalence is supposed to be increased in the next years. One pathological hallmark is represented by amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, which represent the key element to oxidative and pro-inflammatory mechanisms by the activated microglia. The interaction, in fact, between activated microglia and plaques of Aβ induces the release of pro-inflammatory citokynes, like interleukin-6 (IL-6), or neurotoxic factors, like the tumor necrosis factor-α, and stimulates the expression by the microglia of some scavengers receptors, deputies to remove the Aβ plaques: among them the multifunctional protein of class B type I (SRBI) CD36. Currently an effective diagnosis of AD is possible only post mortem: for this reason during the last few years has been intensified the search for biological and hormonal markers that could be useful in the early diagnosis of AD. These markers are expressed also from the peripheral leucocytes, cells easily obtainable, which express virtually all hormones and hormone receptors, which are under the same regulatory mechanisms that control their expression in the brain. So the leucocytes may be profitably used as tools to investigated the changes occurring in brain areas reportedly inaccessible in humans. In particular, it has been recently demonstrated that the leukocyte expression of CD36 is significantly reduced in patients with AD and in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a prodromic phase of AD. CD36 could represent an earlier marker of increased neurodegenerative risk. Epidemiologic studies have shown a greater incidence of AD in the individuals of female sex. A possible cause of this is represented by the modifications of the endocrine functions, that occur during the menopausal transition and that develop an unfavorable hormonal milieu predisposing to the neurodegeneration. It is demonstrated that estrogens have a neuroprotective and neurotrophic role by the binding to specific receptors, present in two isoformes (ER-α and ER-β), and that in course of AD they prevent the formation of the Aβ-fibrils, inhibit the inflammatory reaction due to the plaque deposition, and protect the cells from their cytotoxic action. The diminished estrogen secretion in postmenopausal age, in fact, is correlated inversely with the “cerebral health” and directly with the entity of the cognitive deterioration. An other female sexual hormone, the
progesterone, seems to carry out multiple functions centers different from the riproduction function: the regulation of the cognitive processes, the mitochondrial function of the neuronal cell, the neurogenesis and the repair of the damaged nervous tissue. The neuronal response regulated from the
progesterone are mediated by the receptors PR-A and PR-B, included some forms derived from alternative splicing. At the level of the central nervous system them…

▼ Cervical cancer is the fourth-most common cancer in woman and fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The majority of cervical cancer is associated with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Their tumorigenic potential stems mainly from viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, which are best known to inactivate p53 and pRb tumor suppressor, respectively. Epidemiological evidence suggests that, in addition to persistent HPV infections, other cofactors are required for cervical cancer. Multiple pregnancies and oral contraceptive use increases the risk for cervical cancer in HPV-infected women, implicating a role of estrogen and
progesterone in cervical cancer. Prior studies utilizing an HPV transgenic mouse model expressing E6 and E7 (K14E6/K14E7) have demonstrated the requirement of estrogen
receptor alpha (ERα) and estradiol (E2) for cervical carcinogenesis. Accumulating evidence suggests that ERα may be important for human cervical cancer. The role of
progesterone and
progesterone receptor (PR) in cervical cancer remains elusive. Our laboratory has demonstrated that PR agonist medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) promotes regression of cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in the K14E6/K14E7 mice. Goals of my dissertation project were to determine whether cervical cancer recurs after MPA therapy and whether epithelial PR is required for therapeutic effect of MPA. Using the K14E6/K14E7 mice, I found that cervical cancer recurred even if MPA treatment was continued, and recurring cervical cancer expressed PR but was refractory to MPA. In addition to PR, MPA interacts with other nuclear receptors including glucocorticoid
receptor. Using the Cre/LoxP recombination system, I found that epithelial PR promoted apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in the cervical epithelium. I also determined that epithelial PR was required for MPA-mediated regression of cervical cancer, which was inhibited by E2. My results strongly support the hypothesis that epithelial PR is ligand-dependent tumor suppressor in cervical cancer. Approximately 33% of cervical cancer expresses PR. My results suggest that PR expression may not be sufficient to benefit from MPA therapy. My results also warrants further study to determine mechanism of recurrence and therapy resistance, which will facilitate the development of a better therapy for the disease.

▼ In many animals, the display of female sexual receptivity relies on internal states such as the hormonal status of the animal. Female mice, for example, are receptive toward males only peri-ovulation, presumably to maximize reproductive success. The sex hormone responsive neural circuits that regulate female receptivity remain largely unknown, but are likely sexually dimorphic since males do not become receptive under the same hormonal stimuli that induces ovulation and receptivity in females. Progesterone and the progesterone receptor (PR) are required for ovulation and female sexual receptivity. We have generated a genetically targeted PR reporter mouse to map a receptivity circuit. We find that PR is expressed in a sexually dimorphic pattern in many brain regions including a small pool of neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a center required for receptive behavior. We find that PR-expressing neurons in the VMH send a female specific projection to the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV), a hypothalamic region that is critical for ovulation. These data suggest that a sexually dimorphic circuit mechanism coordinates ovulation and receptivity. With the genetic tools we have generated, we can now begin to probe the behavioral relevance of PR-expressing neurons.

▼ Neutrophils infiltrate myometrium and decidual tissue prior to parturition. Activated neutrophils release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), which might increase expression of pro-labor genes such as matrix metalloproteinase-
1 (MMP-
1),
progesterone receptor (PR) A/B ratio, and cause demethylation of DNA. These changes might cause labor.
Decidual tissue was obtained from consented, healthy women at term (37+ weeks of gestation) not in labor (no contractions, without cervical effacement), term labor and preterm labor (under 37 weeks of pregnancy). Decidual and myometrial cells in culture were treated with (
1) ROS, (2) TNFα, or (3) 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine. Total RNA was extracted, converted to cDNA and evaluated by qRT-PCR for MMP-
1, PR-A+B and PR-B.
TNFα increased MMP-
1 by 17 fold in decidual cells and more than 12 fold in myometrial cells. PR-A/B was increased by 5.6 fold in decidua. ROS up-regulated MMP-
1 by 6 fold and elevated the PR-A/B ratio by 4.5 fold in decidual tissue. DNA demethylation increased MMP-
1 by about 4 and 11 fold in decidual and myometrium, respectively. The PR-A/B ratio was increased by 4 fold in decidua and the PR-B was decreased by 40% in the myometrium due to DNA demethylation. Decidual tissue in preterm labor showed a 7-fold increase in MMP-
1 over term laboring and over a 15-fold increase over term not in labor tissue.
In conclusion, MMP-
1 expression and PR-A/B ratio was increased by neutrophil products possibly through a mechanism of DNA methylation in decidua and myometrium. Preterm decidua showed a dramatic increase in MMP-
1 over normal labor tissue. TNFα and ROS increased expression of MMP-
1 to possibly initiate parturition. These data might help explain mechanisms responsible for preterm labor unrelated to infection or premature rupture of membranes.

▼ [EN] ABSTRACT
Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling plays a critical role in regulating root growth and root system architecture. ABA-mediated growth promotion and root tropic response under water stress are key responses for plant survival under limiting water conditions. In this work, we have explored the role of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) PYR/PYL/RCAR receptors (PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1 (PYR1)/PYR1 LIKE (PYL)/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORS) for root ABA signaling. As a result, we discovered that PYL8 plays a nonredundant role for the regulation of root ABA sensitivity. Unexpectedly, given the multigenic nature and partial functional redundancy observed in the PYR/PYL family, the single pyl8 mutant showed reduced sensitivity to ABA-mediated root growth inhibition. This effect was due to the lack of PYL8-mediated inhibition of several clade A phosphatases type 2C (PP2Cs), since PYL8 interacted in vivo with at least five PP2Cs, namely HYPERSENSITIVE TO ABA1 (HAB1), HAB2, ABAINSENSITIVE1 (ABI1), ABI2, and PP2CA/ABA-HYPERSENSITIVE GERMINATION3 as revealed by tandem affinity purification and mass spectrometry proteomic approaches.
Membrane-delimited abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction plays a critical role in early ABA signaling, but the molecular mechanisms linking core signaling components to the plasma
membrane are unclear. We show that transient calciumdependent interactions of PYR/PYL/RCAR ABA receptors with membranes are mediated through a 10-member family of C2-domain ABA-related (CAR) proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, we found that PYL4 interacted in an ABA-independent manner with CAR1 in both the plasma
membrane and nucleus of plant cells. CAR1 belongs to a plant-specific gene family encoding CAR1 to CAR10 proteins, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation and coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that PYL4-CAR1 as well as other PYR/PYL-CAR pairs interacted in plant cells. The crystal structure of CAR4 was solved, which revealed that, in addition to a classical calcium-dependent lipid binding C2 domain, a specific CAR signature is likely responsible for the interaction with PYR/PYL/RCAR receptors and their recruitment to phospholipid vesicles. This interaction is relevant for PYR/PYL/RCAR function and ABA signaling, since different car triple mutants affected in CAR1, CAR4, CAR5, and CAR9 genes showed reduced sensitivity to ABA in seedling establishment and root growth assays. In summary, we identified PYR/PYL/RCAR-interacting partners that mediate a transient Ca2+-dependent interaction with phospholipid vesicles, which affects PYR/PYL/RCAR subcellular localization and positively regulates ABA signaling.; [ES] RESUMEN

▼ Towards the full understanding the physiology of human
Sigma-
1 receptor (Sig-1R), we developed a novel ligand-based
enrichment strategy and mass spectrometry analysis of the
receptor.
Reduced Haloperidol (RHAL) bead was generated by coupling ligand to
the silica bead bearing epoxide groups and applied to pull down the
endogenous Sig-1R and its interacting partners from human cancer
cell. Our results showed that RHAL bead specifically and
quantitatively pulled down the
receptor and the peptides obtained
by in-gel digestion of the eluted protein using covered over 90% of
the primary sequence of the
receptor. Besides, oxidation of
tryptophan at W81, 89 and 136 with different oxidation stages and
two methylation sites at the residues of Q80 and E163. By
quantitative comparison using spectral counting and statistical
analysis, novel interacting partners of Sig-1R were identified
including 80S ribosome, Calnexin, and 26S proteasome. These
interactions revealed the involvement of Sig-1R in the regulation
of nascent polypeptide load in ER, protein folding as well as
ER-associated degradation, which provided possible explanation for
the protective role of Sig-1R for cells against ER-stress induced
apoptosis. To identify a universal biomarker to indicate
immune-response, a unique immunoglobulin G (IgG) species was
identified in mouse and rabbit sera immediately after immunogen
exposure which was characterized based on its lectin AAL binding
property, early production, early detectable and unique kinetics.
Serum samples from animals inoculated with various immunogens were
used in a lectin antibody microarray using F(ab’)2 anti-IgG as a
capture reagent, and a recombinant biotinylated AAL as a detection
reagent. Using this immunogen unrelated assay, we identified an IgG
species distinct from the majority of circulating core-fucosylated
intact IgG molecules. Mass spectrometry analysis of IgGs from
serial samples of immunized rabbit revealed a similar kinetics from
IgG N-glycosylation subtypes possessing core-fucosylated
agalatosyl, bisecting agalactosyl or sialyl-mono-galactosyl
structures, suggesting the AAL reactivity are from one or all these
glycosylation subtypes. This unique IgG species appears to be a
common marker for immune response to various antigens in different
animal species.

Biochemistry of proteins
Funkcije membranskih proteina su brojne:
međućelijska komunikacija, adhezija, signalna transdukcija. Većina
membranskih proteina je glikozilovana i N-glikani imaju važnu ulogu
u formiranju trodimenzionalne strukture membranskih proteina, kao i
u ispoljavanju njihove funkcije. Receptori za insulin (IR) i faktor
rasta sličan insulinu tip 1 (IGF1R) su transmembranske
tirozin-kinaze sa visokim stepenom homologije (u nekim domenima čak
i 80%). Familija IGF receptora, pored IR i IGF1R, uključuje i
receptor za faktore rasta slične insulinu tip 2 (IGF2R). Sva tri
receptora (IR, IGF1R i IGF2R) su glikozilovani i obilno prisutni u
placenti, gde imaju važne uloge u njenom razvoju i funkcionisanju.
Placenta raste i razvija se da bi ispunila različite potrebe
fetusa, pa se struktura i funkcija placente menjaju tokom
gestacije. Znajući da su proteini odgovorni za biološke funkcije
placente pretpostavljeno je da tokom gestacije može doći i do
promene u sadržaju različitih tipova N-glikana prisutnih na
membranskim proteinima. U ovoj tezi analizirani su tipovi N-glikana
koji se mogu naći u sastavu membranskih glikoproteina, odnosno
membranski N-glikom proteina humane placente. Ispitana je
podložnost membranskog N-glikoma individualnim varijacijama i
uticaju starosti majke/trudnice, kao i uticaj gestacije na
membranski N-glikom. Znajući da je izmenjena glikozilacija često
povezana sa izmenjenom funkcijom, kao i da izmenjena funkcija
jednog ili više proteina može biti uzrok bolesti, ispitane su
potencijalne promene membranskog N-glikoma u patološkim trudnoćama
(kod preeklampsije) i trudnoćama komplikovanim patologijom majki
(dijabetes). Uporedo je ispitan i uticaj starosti, gestacije i
patologije na tip i zastupljenost različitih N-glikana koji ulaze u
sastav receptora IGF sistema. Cilj je bio da se ispita da li
promene na ukupnim membranskim proteinima (na N-glikomu) prate
promene N-glikana prisutnih na pojedinačnim membranskim
glikoproteinima važnim za rast i funkcionisanje
placente...

▼ Decidualization, the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells, is essential for a successful pregnancy. Although the steroid hormones estrogen (E) and
progesterone (P) are known to control decidualization, the precise mechanisms via which these hormones act to control this differentiation process are poorly understood. We used primary cultures of human endometrial stromal cells (HESC) to analyze the role of estrogen
receptor alpha (ESR1) and
progesterone receptor isoforms (PRA and PRB) in human decidualization.
Previous studies established that HESC, when treated with the differentiation cocktail containing E, P, and a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analog, cease proliferation and undergo differentiation. In the present study, when ESR1 expression was silenced, the HESC continued to proliferate in the presence of the differentiation cocktail and their differentiation was severely inhibited. Gene expression profiling revealed that, in the absence of ESR1, the expression levels of several cell cycle regulatory factors were increased and those of specific cell cycle inhibitors were decreased. Our study also revealed that ESR1 promoted the expression of key regulators of HESC differentiation (PGR, FOXO1 and WNT4). Expression of these targets was dependent on the addition of cAMP, suggested a functional link between cAMP and ESR1 signaling. Using a proteomic approach, we identified MED1 as a target of cAMP-activated protein kinase (PKA) during HESC differentiation. The PKA-dependent phosphorylation of MED1 enhanced its ability to interact efficiently with ESR1. Furthermore, loss of MED1 expression inhibited HESC differentiation with parallel impairment in the expression of a subset of ESR1 target genes. Addition of cAMP increased recruitment of MED1 to the ESR1 binding regions of a target gene (WNT4). Collectively, these results indicated that, during decidualization, ESR1 suppresses HESC proliferation and promotes their differentiation via interactions with MED1, which is activated in response to cAMP signaling.
Progesterone, acting through its receptors, is essential for the precise regulation of the endometrial processes required for a successful pregnancy, including decidualization. However, the specific roles of the
progesterone receptor isoforms, PRA and PRB, during endometrial differentiation in the human have remained unknown. A major focus of my project was to shed light on the roles of the
receptor isoforms by identifying their cistromes and correlated gene expression profiles during differentiation of human stromal cells. We expressed PRA and PRB individually after silencing endogenous
progesterone receptors so that the roles of the isoforms could be analyzed independently as well as jointly. Identification of the cistromes of PRA and PRB using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), revealed that PRB cistrome was larger, covering that of PRA, at an early time point of in vitro differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells. Our de novo motif…

Invazivni karcinom dojke je najčešći kancer kod
žena. Pored genetičkih i epigenetički faktori imaju važnu ulogu u
njegovoj inicijaciji i progresiji. Cilj ove studije bio je ispitati
da li metilacija promotora ON, gena za ERβ protein (ESR2) utiče na
njegovu ekspresiju (na nivou iRNK i proteina) i utvrditi povezanost
metilacionog indeksa promotora ON sa nivoima ERβ1-iRNK i ERβ1
proteina, kao i sa kliničkim i patohistološkim parametrima. U ovoj
studiji analiziran je 131 arhivski uzorak kancera dojke. Pomoću
posebno dizajniranog PCR testa iz dva koraka, amplifikovan je i
kvantifikovan specifični region promotora ON ESR2 gena. Za
kvantifikaciju ERβ1-iRNK korišćena je metoda kvantitativnog RT-PCR
u realnom vremenu. Metoda „Western Blot“ je korišćena za relativnu
kvantifikaciju ERβ1 proteinske izoforme. Dobijeni podaci,
metilacioni indeks promotora ON, nivoi iRNK i ERβ1 proteina,
analizirani su i korelisani sa kliničkopatološkim parametrima
neparametrijskim statističkim testovima. Nađeno je da je
metilacioni indeks promotora ON ERβ gena značajno veći u grupi
pacijentkinja sa pozitivnim, u odnosu na grupu sa negativnim
statusom aksilarnih limfnih čvorova. Takođe, pronađena je značajna
pozitivna korelacija metilacionog indeksa promotora ON ERβ gena sa
nivoom estrogenskog receptora α. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata
pokazano je da metilacioni indeks promotora ON, ERβ gena može biti
pouzdaniji marker prognoze kancera dojke nego ekspresija ERβ1-iRNK
ili proteina ERβ1.

▼ Le récepteur de la progestérone (PR) est un cible pharmacologique majeure pour la contraception, et pour le traitement de certaines pertubations endocriniennes ainsi que des cancers hormono-dépendants de l’utérus et du sein. Chez la femme, PR est exprimé sous deux isoformes majeures PRA et PRB qui sont des facteurs de transcription fonctionnellement distincts. L’expression de PRA vs PRB est souvent altérée dans certaines situations pathologiques selon des mécanismes encore mal identifiés. Dans cette thèse, nous démontrons que des phosphorylations clés regulées par des MAPK distincts contrôlent la stabilité de PRB et PRA. PRA est sélectivement stabilisée par la p38 MAPK tandis que PRB est préférentiellement stabilisé par la p42/44 MAPK. Ces mécanismes différentiels régulent donc le rapport d’expression PRA/PRB de façon ligand-dépendente et mettent les fonctions progestatives sous le contrôle de l’activité des facteurs de croissance et des cytokines pro-inflammatoires. Or, dans les cellules cancéreuses, la suractivité de certains stimuli extracellulaires provenant de telles signalisations et activant préférentiellement p42/44 et/ou p38 MAPK, pourrait être à l’origine des pertubations du rapport PRA/PRB observées dans les tumeurs du sein. Afin d’explorer la contribution différentielle des isoformes du PR dans la signalisation cellulaire, nous avons élaboré un modèle cellulaire original permettant de contrôler l’expression de PRA et/ou PRB de façon conditionnelle, réversible et dose-dépendante. Par une approche transcriptomique, nous avons identifiés les gènes régulés de façon différentielle par PRA et/ou PRB en absence ou présence de l’hormone. Nous montrons que plusieurs aspects de la signalisation de PR comme la sélectivité de la régulation transcriptionnelle, la dialogue-croisée avec des facteurs de croissance ainsi que l’efficacité antiproliférative des antiprogestatifs dépendent de l’expression differentielle des isoformes du PR. Une nouvelle approche thérapeutique ou préventive possible dans les cancers hormono-dépendants pourrait consister à administrer des antagonistes du PR. Cependant, la plupart des antiprogestatifs disponibles comme la mifépristone présentent des effets agonistes partiels et ne sont pas sélectifs du PR, produisant ainsi des effets indésirables majeurs. Dans un projet collaboratif, et sur la base d’études cristallographiques de PR, nous avons synthétisé et caractérisé plusieurs dizaines de molécules antagonistes du PR, nommés APRn. L’étude des relations structure-fonctions de ces APRn a permis d’identifier les substitutions introduites dans la structure stéroïdienne qui sont responsables des propriétés agonistes/antagonistes de ces molécules. Plusieurs APRn sélectionnés sont dépourvus d’effets agonistes partiels, sont spécifiques du PR et inhibent son activité transcriptionnelle par un nouveau mécanisme d’action dit « passif », en raison de leur capacité particulière à inhiber le recrutement des corégulateurs transcriptionnels. Ces antagonistes sélectifs de PR offrent des perspectives…

▼ A endometriose é definida como aparecimento de focos de tecido endometrial com características glandulares e/ou estromais idênticos aos da cavidade uterina em outras localizações, que não o endométrio, apresentando um forte componente genético. Incide principalmente em mulheres em idade reprodutiva, podendo estar relacionada com infertilidade em 30% a 40% dos casos. É uma patologia de diagnóstico histológico, devendo o mesmo, confirmar as suspeitas clínicas e os achados macroscópicos encontrados em cirurgias. Pode afetar vários órgãos, sendo por isso mesmo denominada atualmente de multi-sistêmica. A expressão exagerada de receptores de estrogênio e defeitos no
receptor de progesterona são consequências da anormalidade do efeito progestacional sobre o endométrio tópico e ectópico. Alterações da sua função podem, portanto, facilitar o aparecimento da moléstia porque, no sentido amplo, deixa de antagonizar os efeitos proliferativos dos estrogênios. Recentemente, vários polimorfismos do
receptor de progesterona têm sido descritos. Dentre eles destaca-se o polimorfismo PROGINS que consiste em uma inserção Alu de 306 pb no íntron G entre o exon 7 e 8 do gene do
receptor de progesterona humano. Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar a possível correlação entre a endometriose e o Polimorfismo do Gene do
Receptor de Progesterona (PROGINS). O grupo endometriose foi composto por 54 pacientes de um centro de referência em videolaparoscopia e infertilidade de Goiânia (FÉRTILE). O grupo controle incluiu 45 mulheres sem diagnóstico de endometriose por anamnese. Os genótipos para o polimorfismo PROGINS (A1/A1, A1/A2 e A2/A2) foram determinados por PCR. A frequência dos genótipos polimórficos (A1/A2 e A2/A2) é duas vezes maior nas pacientes com endometriose (33,3%) do que no grupo controle (15,5%). Houve significância estatística que indicasse a associação entre o polimorfismo PROGINS e a patologia endometriose (P = 0,0426).

▼ Steroid receptors (SRs) are hormone-induced transcription factors that regulate gene expression by their concerted actions with coregulatory proteins. Performing a quantitative mass spectrometry-based interaction screen in breast cancer cells, we identified Polo-like kinase
1 to interact with
progesterone receptor (PR) and estrogen
receptor (ER) in presence of their respective hormone stimuli. PLK1 is recruited to chromatin and regulates SR-dependent and –independent gene transcription. Global gene expression analysis let us observe that PLK1-coactivated genes are enriched in developmental functions and linked to good clinical prognosis in breast cancer patients. Using large-scale phosphoproteomics with MCF7 breast cancer cells treated with estradiol in presence or absence of the specific PLK1 inhibitor BI2536, we observed that 28% of estradiol-induced phosphorylation sites depended on PLK1 activity. Among proteins with PLK1-dependent phosphorylation sites, we identified several transcriptional regulators including the ER-associated histone H3K4-methylase MLL2. As PLK1 inhibition reduced the estradiol-mediated induction of H3K4 methylation levels at MLL2 target genes, together these results propose a role of PLK1 in the regulation of MLL2 activity. Finally, in a targeted approach using recombinant histone proteins as substrate of PLK1, we observed a specific phosphorylation of histone H2B at serine 36. In summary, we conclude that PLK1 affects SR-dependent and SR-independent gene transcription by phosphorylating several transcriptional regulators and chromatin components.

▼ Breast cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Researchers continue to study the etiology of breast cancer so that more effective therapies can be implemented. The focus of the literature of review is to determine whether or not natural therapies are effective and have a role in the treatment/prevention of estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/ progesterone receptor positive (PR+) breast cancer. Natural therapies including botanicals, nutrients, vitamins, diet, and homeopathy have been implemented in the treatment/prevention of hormonal dependent breast cancer. The natural therapies reviewed in the literature of review include Pomegranite, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Green tea, Curcumin, Mistletoe, Phytoestrogens, Indole-3-Carbinol, 33-diindolymethane (DIM), Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, Vitamin D, Lignans, and the homeopathic remedies Ruta, Carcinosinum, Hydrastis, and Thuja. Although the natural therapies reviewed seemed to have an overall favorable effect on women with hormonal dependant breast cancer, many of these studies were performed on mice, and more studies need to be formed on humans for a more accurate analysis.

▼ There is compelling evidence for a role of intracellular renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in cell signaling, function and cardiovascular pathologies. Diabetic nephropathy is a very common complication in which tubulointerstitial fibrosis may arise from epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the proximal tubules cells. Advanced glycated end product (AGEs) including methylglyoxal-modified albumin (MGA) may contribute to the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy via activation of the receptors for AGE (RAGE) and the RAS. The RAS is functionally partitioned into the angiotensin II (Ang II)-angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) and the Ang-(1-7)-AT7-MasR pathways that generally oppose the actions of one another. Although AGE-RAGE activation may stimulate the Ang II-AT1R axis, the role of Ang-(1-7) in AGE-induced EMT in the kidney is not known. The present study characterized the intracellular expression of the RAS in renal proximal tubules utilizing NRK-52E tubular epithelial cell line. Furthermore, we examined the influence of AGE on Ang-(1-7)-AT7-MasR axis in MGA-exposed in NRK-52E cells. The RAS precursor protein angiotensinogen (AGT), and its processing enzyme renin were visualized by immunofluorescent (IMF) staining in the cell nuclei; we confirmed the protein expression in isolated nuclei by immunoblots. Renin activity (AGT to Ang I conversion) was demonstrated in the nuclei of NRK-52E cells and trypsin activation studies on the pro-form of renin revealed a prorenin to renin ratio of 3:1. Peptide IMF staining localized Ang II and Ang-(1-7) to the nucleus and immunoreactive peptide content averaged 59 ± 2 and 57 ± 22 fmol per mg protein (n=4), respectively. Peptide metabolism studies in isolated nuclei revealed a pathway for the direct processing of Ang I to Ang-(1-7) by the enzyme thimet oligopeptidase. We then assessed the impact of AGE on the intracellular RAS of NRK-52E cells. MGA exposure for 48 hours significantly reduced the intracellular levels of Ang-(1-7) by 50%; however, expression of Ang I or Ang II was not altered. The reduced cellular content of Ang-(1-7) by MGA was associated with increased metabolism of the peptide to the inactive metabolite Ang-(1-4) with no change in the conversion of Ang I to Ang-(1-7). Exogenous addition of Ang-(1-7) reversed the cellular effects of MGA on cellular hypertrophy and myofibroblast transition; Ang-(1-7) reduced immunostaining and protein expression of á-smooth muscle actin by 60% (á-SMA) [n=3, p<0.05]. Moreover, Ang-(1-7) abolished AGE-induced activation of the MAP kinase ERK1/2 to a similar extent as the TGF-â receptor kinase inhibitor SB58059. The inhibitory actions Ang-(1-7) were apparently mediated by the MasR as the antagonist D-Ala7-Ang-(1-7) (A779) abrogated these effects. Collectively, we conclude that NRK-52E cells express RAS components that may contribute to the intracellular expression of the bioactive peptides Ang II and Ang-(1-7). Moreover, Ang-(1-7) may provide a novel therapeutic approach in addition to the conventional RAS…

▼ Secreted Wnt proteins control a wide range of essential developmental processes, including axon guidance and establishment of anteroposterior neuronal polarity. We identified a transmembrane RING finger protein, PLR-
1, that governs the response to Wnts by reducing the cell surface levels of Wnt receptors Frizzled, CAM-
1 and LIN-18 in Caenorhabditis elegans . Frizzled, CAM-
1 and LIN-18 are normally enriched at the plasma
membrane where they are capable of detecting and responding to extracellular Wnts. However, when PLR-
1 is expressed Frizzled, CAM-
1 and LIN-18 are no longer detected at the cell surface and instead colocalize with PLR-
1 in endosomes and Golgi.PLR-
1 is related to a broad family of transmembrane proteins that contain a lumenal protease associated domain and a cytosolic RING finger. The RING finger is a hallmark of one type of E3 ubiquitin ligase and monoubiquitination is commonly used to regulate protein trafficking. Protease associated domains are largely thought to mediate interactions between proteins. To identify the domains responsible for PLR-
1 regulation of Frizzled from the cell surface we utilized a series of fluorescently tagged fusion proteins and protein truncations containing various domains from PLR-
1 and Frizzled. Our data suggests that PLR-
1 and Frizzled interact and form a complex via their respective extracellular/lumenal domains, and that ubiqiuitination of Frizzled by PLR-
1 targets the Frizzled/PLR-
1 complex to the endosome.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Breast and prostate cancer growth and survival are dependent on signalling via the estrogen
receptor (ER) and androgen
receptor (AR), respectively. However, other steroid receptors such as the
progesterone receptor (PR), are also implicated in both cancers, and emerging evidence suggests considerable crosstalk between these steroid receptors in breast cancer. Investigations into similar crosstalk mechanisms are lacking in prostate cancer. As the AR and PR are likely co-expressed in a subset of breast and prostate cancers, it is surprising that no studies have investigated crosstalk between the AR and PR in these cancers. Both these receptors can activate transcription by binding to DNA on a classical response element, termed either the
progesterone response element (PRE) when the PR is bound, or the classical androgen response element (ARE) when the AR is bound. However, the AR can also bind to an AR-selective ARE as well as to the ER binding site, termed the estrogen response element (ERE). Whether the PR isoforms, PRA and PRB, can similarly activate the AR-selective ARE and ERE is not known. In this study, we investigated whether the PR isoforms, in the absence and presence of known PR agonists (synthetic promegestone (R5020), natural
progesterone (P4), and synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)), could modulate the transactivation function of the AR via the above-mentioned response elements in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and PC3 prostate cancer cell lines. The cells were transiently transfected with the expression vectors for the AR and/or PR isoforms, together with the applicable promoter-reporter constructs. The general trend observed was that both the unliganded and liganded PR isoforms augmented AR activity in a cell line-, ligand- and/or promoter-specific manner. Specifically, we showed that PRB, both in the absence and presence of PR ligands, generally upregulated AR transactivation on the various response elements in the breast and prostate cancer cells. While AR transactivation function was also increased by PRA on the selective ARE and ERE, PRA decreased AR-mediated transactivation on the classical ARE. We also provide novel evidence that both PR isoforms mimic AR activity on the selective ARE and the ERE in both cell lines, which may provide a mechanism through which the PR mediates oncogenic effects in both cancers. We did not observe cell proliferation in the presence of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in either cell line transfected with the AR under the experimental conditions used in this study. In summary, even though the results from this study are preliminary, we are the first to show that the transactivation function of the AR is generally enhanced in the presence of the PR isoforms in both breast and prostate cancer. These findings support a potential crosstalk mechanism between the AR and PR isoforms in these cancers. Although the precise physiological implications of these results require further investigation, our findings contribute to the understanding of…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Progestins are synthetic compounds designed to mimic the natural hormone
progesterone (Prog), and are widely used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and contraception. These compounds can be divided into four generations, with newer generations increasing in
progesterone receptor (PR) specificity. Although progestins have many therapeutic benefits, a number of undesirable side-effects, such as increased risk of breast cancer, have been reported. As a result, many postmenopausal women have sought alternatives for HRT, such as compounded bio-identical hormones like bio-identical Prog (bProg), claimed not to increase breast cancer risk. Progestins, Prog and bProg (collectively referred to as progestogens) elicit their biological effects primarily by binding to the PR, which exists as two predominant isoforms, PR-A and PR-B, with PR-B being the more transcriptionally active and proliferative isoform in breast cancer. Emerging evidence suggest that the PR plays an important role in breast cancer development and progression, and that there is crosstalk between the PR and estrogen
receptor (ER)-α, a major etiological factor in breast cancer biology. Moreover, it has been shown that ER-α is required for PR-B-mediated effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on activation of gene expression and breast cancer cell proliferation. The latter raised the questions of whether ER-α is needed for PR-B-mediated effects of other progestins, and whether the ERβ subtype would also be required. Given that PR-B has both transactivation and transrepression functions, this study used transactivation and transrepression transcriptional assays to investigate the PR-B-mediated agonist efficacies and potencies of Prog, bProg and select progestins from different generations (MPA, norethisterone acetate (NET-A), levonorgestrel (LNG), gestodene (GES) and drospirenone (DRSP)), and whether these were modulated by ERα and/or ERβ. Furthermore, the effects of the progestogens on breast cancer cell proliferation were evaluated in the absence and presence of ERα- and ERβ-specific antagonists. Results showed that progestins mostly displayed similar agonist efficacies and potencies for transactivation and transrepression via PR-B. The exception was first generation MPA that was less efficacious for transactivation and least potent for transrepression, and third generation GES that was more potent for transactivation. This study is the first to show that ERα and ERβ differentially decreased PR-B-mediated agonist efficacies of progestogens for transactivation and transrepression. However, the ERα-specific antagonist had no effect on progestogen-induced expression of the endogenous PR-B regulated c-myc gene or repression of the interleukin (IL)-8 gene in the T47D breast cancer cell line, while the ERβ-specific antagonist had no effect on progestogen-induced c-myc gene expression, and appeared to abolish repression of the IL-8 gene. Additionally, we showed that all progestogens, except NET-A and DRSP, displayed similar proliferative…

▼ Extensive studies have been conducted on botanicals for the presence of estrogenic molecules, unfortunately, very little has ever been done to identify plant-based progestins. This underexplored area is troubling especially since there is a body of scientific evidence supporting the presence of
progesterone receptor (PR) modulators in plant material that may affect endocrine function. The goal of this dissertation was to identify and characterize natural
progesterone (P4)-like compounds from botanical extracts for the improvement of women’s health. Red clover, hops, angelica, black cohosh, kudzu, dogwood, and chaste-tree berry were investigated for their ability to interact with purified PR, to activate PRE-luciferase transcription in human breast cancer cells, and for tissue specific regulation of P4 inducible genes. Kaempferol was identified as having P4-like activity and may function in a cell-specific manner. In vivo studies revealed that kaempferol exhibited P4-like effects in ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rat model. Since genistein is a phytoestrogen that previously demonstrated to increase uterine weight and proliferation, the ability of kaempferol to block genistein action in the uterus was investigated. Analyses of proliferation, steroid
receptor expression, and induction of well-established PR-regulated targets Areg and Hand2 were completed. In addition, kaempferol in silico binding analysis was completed for PR, as was the activation of ER and AR signaling in vitro in order to determine
receptor specificity. The data from this dissertation suggest that kaempferol interacts with PR, activates the
receptor without stimulating its degradation, induces known PR target genes in vitro and in vivo and blocked genistein-induced proliferation in the luminal epithelial cells in Sprague-Dawley rat uteri. The toxicity of hops extracts in cell-based assays precluded further investigation in vitro, but an initial bioassay screen suggested that natural progestins can be identified from hops extracts. Further chemical and biological analyses are warranted to identify and characterize progestins from hops. The comprehensive framework outlined in this thesis will provide a promising avenue for the identification of potentially better and safer compounds capable of activating PR signaling from botanical extracts used for women's health.

▼ The roles of estradiol and
progesterone were investigated to determine the effect of these hormones on metabolism in skeletal muscle composed of different fiber types (slow-twitch, fast-twitch and their various sub-types) which have different metabolic properties. The metabolic implications of these sex hormones were also tested under ischemic conditions. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized and given one of the following for 120 days: estradiol (ET), intermittent-estradiol (IE),
progesterone (P), both IE and P (IE+P), estrogen
receptor (ER) antagonist ICI 182,780 (ICI), selective ER modulator Raloxifene (RLX). Key statistically significant findings included that estradiol decreased glycogen phosphorylase and phosphofructokinase activity in fast-twitch muscles with greater total fast-twitch fiber content.
Progesterone decreased in vivo glycogen by 25% in slow-twitch muscles. This response was only found in fast-twitch muscles when IE+P was given. During ischemia, IE+P reduced glycogen consumption irrespective of muscle type, which was attributed to lower in vivo glycogen levels. In vivo creatine phosphate (CP) levels in females given IE+P were reduced by 25%, irrespective of muscle type. Ischemic CP consumption was decreased only in fast-twitch muscles of IE+P females who had lower in vivo CP levels. ER studies established that ICI significantly lowered in vivo CP levels by 70-80% in both fast- and slow-twitch muscles, resulting in reduced ischemic CP consumption. RLX did not appear to modulate metabolism in these studies. These results demonstrated that the principle female sex hormones are important regulators of glycogen and CP metabolism and that the ER blockade decreases CP content in skeletal muscle. Moreover, ovarian steroid hormone regulation of glycogen metabolism is muscle fiber specific, whereas that of CP metabolism is not muscle fiber specific.

▼ Prospective studies show that pregnancies interrupted
by induced abortion may provide as much as 70% of the breast cancer
protection provided by a term pregnancy. Estrogen (E) and
progesterone (P4), acting through estrogen
receptor alpha (ER-A)
and
progesterone receptor (PR) isoforms A and B, are mitogenic to
breast epithelium but their increased levels early in pregnancy may
lead to differentiation of the epithelium and hence to a decreased
breast cancer risk. We have begun to investigate the actions of E
and P4 in early pregnancy by determining PR-A, PR-B, ER-A and MIB1
in the breast epithelium immediately after an induced abortion.
PR-A was significantly decreased compared to non-pregnant
premenopausal controls and decreased with gestational age. PR-B,
ER-A and MIB1 expression were increased compared to controls, but
did not correlate with gestational age. Future studies will
investigate the consequences of such a profound change in PR
expression on the breast.

▼ INTRODUÇÃO: Apesar de a endometriose profunda (EPF) ser a forma da doença de maior repercussão clínica, os estudos sobre a doença costumam ser baseados em lesões de endometriose ovariana (EOV) e peritoneal (EPT). A patogênese da EPF ainda é objeto de amplo debate, pois há poucos estudos feitos exclusivamente com lesões de EPF. O fator de transcrição codificado pelo gene homeobox A10 (HOXA10) regula a conferência de identidade tecidual de útero ao ducto paramesonéfrico indiferenciado durante o período embrionário. O gene mantém um padrão de expressão temporal e espacial bem definido e, durante a fase adulta, continua expresso no miométrio e endométrio. Sugere-se que HOXA10 esteja implicado na patogênese da endometriose, pois é expresso em EOV, EPT, endometriose pulmonar e endometriose retovaginal, um tipo de EPF. Possivelmente, o gene HOXA10 seja necessário para conferir identidade de endometriose a um tecido indiferenciado. O estradiol e a progesterona ativam a transcrição do gene HOXA10 e regulam diretamente sua ação. Esses hormônios estão envolvidos na patogênese da EPF, e suas atividades podem ser inferidas pelo estudo da expressão tecidual de seus receptores. A endometriose de reto-sigmoide (ERS) é um modelo representativo para o estudo da EPF. Neste estudo, avaliamos a expressão proteica do fator de transcrição HOXA10, das isoformas ? (ER-alfa) e beta (ER-beta) dos receptores de estrogênio, e do
receptor de progesterona AB (PR-AB) e sua isoforma B (PR-B) na lesão (LES) e no tecido muscular liso perilesional (TMLP) de ERS de pacientes inférteis, durante as fases proliferativa e secretora do ciclo menstrual. MÉTODOS: amostras de LES e TMLP de ERS de 18 pacientes (9 operadas em cada fase do ciclo menstrual) foram agrupadas em blocos de microarranjos de tecidos (tissue microarray). As amostras foram coradas com anticorpos específicos para análise imunoistoquímica de cada uma das proteínas. Foram então avaliadas por microscopia ótica (MO) e pela análise das imagens digitalizadas das lâminas com por um software específico, a análise morfométrica (AM). RESULTADOS: HOXA10 foi expresso no estroma de LES de ERS durante a fase secretora, de acordo com a MO. ER-alfa e ER-betaforam expressos em glândulas e estroma de LES e TMLP de ERS durante ambas as fases do ciclo, de acordo com a MO e a AM. PR-AB e PR-B foram expressos em glândulas e estroma de LES de ERS durante ambas as fases do ciclo, de acordo com a MO. PR-B foi mais expresso durante a fase secretora, independentemente do local de expressão, segundo a AM. A expressão de HOXA10 correlacionou-se diretamente com PR-AB e PR-B na ERS, segundo a AM. Não houve correlação entre ER-alfa e ER-beta com HOXA10, PR-AB ou PR-B em nenhuma fase do ciclo ou local de expressão de ERS. CONCLUSÕES: HOXA10 é expresso em ERS, um local fora do seu eixo espacial de expressão. A presença de HOXA10 pode ser necessária para conferir a identidade \"de novon̈a EPF, incluindo ERS. A progesterona pode ativar o gene HOXA10 e regular esta ação, possivelmente mediada por PR-B. O estradiol exerce sua…

▼ Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women. Beside genetic, epigenetic factors influence its initiation and progression. The purpose of this study was to test whether methylation of the promoter ON of the gene for ERβ protein (ESR2) influences its expression (on mRNA and protein level) and to correlate the methylation index of the ON promoter, ERβ1-mRNA and ERβ1 protein levels with clinicopathological parameters. In this study, 131 archival samples of breast cancer tissue were used. Custom designed two step PCR method, was done for amplification and relative quantification of the specific region of the ON promoter of the ESR2 gene. Measuring of ERβ1-mRNA was done by quantitative real time RT-PCR, and relative quantification of ERβ1 protein isoform was done by Western blot. Statistical analysis was performed and results for methylation index of ON promoter, mRNA and ERβ1 protein levels were correlated with clinicopathological parameters. The methylation index of ERβ-ON promoter was significantly higher in a group of patients with positive axillary lymph node status, than in a group with negative one. A significant positive correlation between methylation index of ON promoter and ERα protein levels was obtained. It can be concluded that methylation index of the ERβ-ON promoter could be more confident parameter for prediction and/or prognosis of breast cancer, than measuring of ERβ1-mRNA or ERβ1 protein levels.
Invazivni karcinom dojke je najčešći kancer kod žena. Pored genetičkih i epigenetički faktori imaju važnu ulogu u njegovoj inicijaciji i progresiji. Cilj ove studije bio je ispitati da li metilacija promotora ON, gena za ERβ protein (ESR2) utiče na njegovu ekspresiju (na nivou iRNK i proteina) i utvrditi povezanost metilacionog indeksa promotora ON sa nivoima ERβ1-iRNK i ERβ1 proteina, kao i sa kliničkim i patohistološkim parametrima. U ovoj studiji analiziran je 131 arhivski uzorak kancera dojke. Pomoću posebno dizajniranog PCR testa iz dva koraka, amplifikovan je i kvantifikovan specifični region promotora ON ESR2 gena. Za kvantifikaciju ERβ1-iRNK korišćena je metoda kvantitativnog RT-PCR u realnom vremenu. Metoda „Western Blot“ je korišćena za relativnu kvantifikaciju ERβ1 proteinske izoforme. Dobijeni podaci, metilacioni indeks promotora ON, nivoi iRNK i ERβ1 proteina, analizirani su i korelisani sa kliničkopatološkim parametrima neparametrijskim statističkim testovima. Nađeno je da je metilacioni indeks promotora ON ERβ gena značajno veći u grupi pacijentkinja sa pozitivnim, u odnosu na grupu sa negativnim statusom aksilarnih limfnih čvorova. Takođe, pronađena je značajna pozitivna korelacija metilacionog indeksa promotora ON ERβ gena sa nivoom estrogenskog receptora α. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata pokazano je da metilacioni indeks promotora ON, ERβ gena može biti pouzdaniji marker prognoze kancera dojke nego ekspresija ERβ1-iRNK ili proteina ERβ1.

▼ Les hormones ovariennes sont impliquées dans le développement du cancer du sein des femmes porteuses de mutations du gène BRCA1. L’étude du tissu mammaire normal de femmes mutées et non mutées nous a permis de montrer des altérations de la signalisation de l’estradiol et la progestérone dans un modèle de greffes chez la souris. Ces dérégulations concernent l’activité proliférative et l’expression des récepteurs hormonaux, et sont hétérogènes d’une patiente mutée à l’autre. De plus, une diminution de l’expression de la forme phosphorylée en sérine 211 du récepteur des glucocorticoïdes a été mise en évidence dans le tissu muté BRCA1. Ces observations posent la question de la place d’unantiprogestatif/anti-glucocorticoïde tel que l’ulipristal acétate (UPA) dans le traitement préventif des femmes mutées pour BRCA1. Les effets de l’UPA ont été caractérisés in vitro dans les cellules mammaires normales pour préciser les conséquences de son utilisation sur le sein. Son action a ensuite été examinée sur les xénogreffes de sein de patientes mutées et non mutées. Nous montrons que l’UPA est capable d’inhiber la prolifération du tissu muté lorsqu’elle est induite par la progestérone. Ce résultat encourage son utilisation dans la prévention tumorale mais indique une spécificité d’action en fonction des dérégulations hormonales associées au tissu muté.
Ovarian hormones, estradiol and progesterone, are known to promote breast carcinogenesis in BRCA1 mutated women. Using normal mammary gland xenografted in mice, we found that hormonal responses were deregulated in a heterogeneous fashion within BRCA1 mutation carriers. These observations raise the question of a potential use ofantiprogestin treatment as ulipristal acetate (UPA) to prevent breast tumorigenesis in BRCA1mutated women. Studies with this experimental model and epithelial normal breast cells in vitro, revealed that UPA alone had no proliferative activity on breast tissue but was efficient to inhibit proliferative activity when induced by progesterone treatment in mutated tissue. UPAcould be a promising treatment to prevent breast tumorigenesis for some mutated women. In addition, we observed a severe decrease of the phosphorylated Serine 211 glucocorticoid receptor isoform in BRCA1 carriers compared to non mutated tissue. This observation suggests that the glucocorticoid receptor expression and activation should be taken intoaccount in BRCA1 carriers.
