Current hormonal therapies for OMA treatment, may exhibit limited effectiveness. Hormonal treatments function by downregulate estrogen receptors (ERs) via progesterone receptor (PR) signaling; therefore, progestins are used for the treatment of endometriosis. Dienogest (DNG), an oral progestin, is highly selective for PRs. Previously we identified the association of azurocidin with DNG resistance. Herein, we aimed to examine the effect of azurocidin on OMAs and its clinical significance. We examined the effect of azurocidin on PR or ER and the action of DNG on the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 in OMAs used the human immortalized endometriotic epithelial Emosis-CC/TERT1 cell line, and measured azurocidin levels in human biological samples. DNG inhibited IL-6 and IL-8 production in vitro, which was suppressed in the presence of azurocidin. Additionally, the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 enhanced azurocidin production. Furthermore, azurocidin induced ER expression; the proliferation of EMosis-CC/TERT1 cells increased significantly upon incubation with 17β-estradiol and azurocidin. Overall, azurocidin inhibits the action of DNG by increasing estrogen sensitivity via promoting ER expression and endometriosis. Azurocidin concentrations in the blood and urine were higher in patients resistant to DNG therapy than in other patients. Thus, azurocidin may be associated with DNG resistance in OMAs.</p>","PeriodicalId":20920,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"702-715"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four different concentrations of PIC were utilized as cryoprotectants during the freeze-thawing process, maintaing a semen to PIC ratio of 1:1, while sperm motility after freezing and thawing was analyzed using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). Sperm plasma membrane integrity was assessed via the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activities, long with the ability to scavenge sperm malondialdehyde (MDA), were examined in sperm following the addition of PIC.

The mechanism by which PIC protects sperm during cryopreservation from oxidative stress damage was further verified. Treatment with PIC at a dose of 5.0 μmol/L significantly improved both sperm motility and viability while effectively reducing ROS levels in frozen sperm. Additionally, the integrity of the sperm plasma membrane was significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the expression level of Keap1 was significantly reduced, whereas the expression levels of GCLC, GCLM, HMOX1, and Nrf2 were significantly increased (p < 0.05) after the addition of PIC. Notably, a significant attenuation of sperm motility and viability was observed in this treatment group when PIC treatment was accompanied by the addition of an Nrf2 inhibitor, resulting in a significant elevation of ROS levels.

The results were confirmed by transcriptional analysis using epithelial organoids derived from AD and CT samples. In addition, the promoter regions of both Klotho and PPARγ genes were hypermethylated in AD as compared with CT, and treatment with HDAC and DNMT inhibitors reactivated the expression of both Klotho and PPARγ. Forced expression of DNMT1 resulted in downregulation of both Klotho and PPARγ but its knockdown increased their expression.
