Analysis of single-cell sequencing data revealed the pivotal role of peritoneal macrophages in the development of endometriosis. We noted significant creatine enrichment and synthesis in peritoneal macrophages of patients with endometriosis compared to women without endometriosis. To further investigate the mechanisms of creatine in endometriosis, we performed RNA sequencing and in vitro experiments. We found that creatine reprograms M2 polarization by enhancing matrix metalloproteinases and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in angiogenesis, fibrogenesis, cell adhesion, and tissue repair. The co-culture of creatine-treated macrophages promoted migration and fibrogenesis of endometrial stromal cells, as well as angiogenesis of HUVECs in vitro. In summary, this article reveals that creatine might polarize M2 macrophages, promoting the initiation, fibrosis, and angiogenesis of ectopic endometrial lesions, ultimately resulting in the development of endometriosis. These findings underscore the crucial immunomodulatory role of creatine in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, offering a promising target for therapeutic intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":21127,"journal":{"name":"Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142829679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Symptoms of UL include pelvic pain, pressure, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, anemia, and reproductive dysfunction. Currently, there is no effective long-term pharmacotherapy for UL, making them the leading cause of hysterectomies in the United States. The lack of treatment options is attributed to the absence of accurate animal models and a limited understanding of UL pathogenesis. Previous research has shown the loss of repressor of element 1 silencing transcription factor/neuron-restrictive silencing factor (REST/NRSF) within the myometrium promotes UL pathogenesis. In addition, deletion of Rest in the mouse myometrium leads to a UL phenotype. PRICKLE1, also known as Rest-interacting LIM-domain Protein (RILP), is required for nuclear localization of REST and Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling, making it a critical target for UL studies. In the context of PCP, smooth muscle cells in UL show abnormal organization, aberrant ECM structure, and expression levels, potentially influenced by PRICKLE1 loss. The exact role of PRICKLE1 and Wnt/PCP in UL pathogenesis remains unclear. To explore PRICKLE1's role in UL, we deleted Prickle1 using our myometrial-specific icre. Our findings demonstrate that Prickle1 loss in the myometrium results in a UL phenotype characterized by altered collagen expression, excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, aberrant smooth muscle cell organization, increased Esr1 and Pgr expression, and dysregulated Wnt/PCP signaling. This novel mouse model serves as a valuable preclinical tool for understanding UL pathogenesis and developing future pharmacotherapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":21127,"journal":{"name":"Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142829680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the involvement of these cells in hormone-mediated changes in the endometrial stroma during decidualization and implantation has not been fully understood. In this study, we used CD90 as a potential marker for endometrial progenitor cells. We demonstrated that CD90+ cells have a higher clonogenicity and a lower proliferative potential than CD90-. The localization of this marker around the embryo during decidualization led us to hypothesize that CD90+ cells may be directly involved in preparing the endometrial stroma for implantation. The results demonstrated an increase in the percentage of CD90+ cells in the endometrium of pregnant mice compared to non-pregnant mice. Additionally, the embryos exhibited a greater ability to spread on CD90+ cells in vitro. Our data support the hypothesis that CD90+ cells play a functional role in implantation, although the exact hormone-dependent mechanisms require further investigation. Based on the subluminal localization of CD90+ cells, we suggested that the luminal epithelium maintains a CD90+ cell surface phenotype. Consequently, we established epithelial-mesenchymal organoids, and the localization of CD90 in these organoids resembled that observed in vivo.
