通过通过ERα和EZH2.2抑制PRICKLE1,雌激素暴露降低了子宫纤维瘤中的PRICKLE1和REST瘤抑制剂水平. 这揭示了一条新的途径,有助于纤维瘤的发展.
科学领域:
- 生殖生物学 生殖生物学
- 分子瘤学分子瘤学
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
背景情况:
- 子宫纤维瘤 (leiomyomas) 影响超过75%的女性,导致严重的疼痛和生殖问题.
- 纤维瘤发育的分子基础仍然不太清楚.
- 以前的研究将纤维瘤的发展与REST瘤抑制剂的丧失和PI3K/AKT-mTOR通路的激活联系起来.
研究的目的:
- 在子宫纤维瘤中研究雌激素,PRICKLE1和REST之间的分子联系.
- 为了阐明增强质同类2 (EZH2) 在纤维瘤病变发生过程中的作用.
主要方法:
- 在瘤组织和培养细胞中分析PRICKLE1和REST蛋白水平.
- 使用缺乏雌激素或ERα的转基因小鼠模型.
- 染色体免疫沉 (ChIP) 来评估PRICKLE1促进体的EZH2结合和H3K27甲基化.
- 通过siRNA介导的EZH2.2的淘汰.
主要成果:
- 在线肌瘤中,PRICKLE1的表达显著降低,与降低的REST水平相关.
- 雌激素暴露,特别是在新生儿中,通过ERα在子宫肌体下调PRICKLE1和REST.
- 在线肌瘤中,EZH2被上调,与PRICKLE1表达相反相关.
- EZH2与PRICKLE1促进体结合,导致H3K27的高甲基化和基因沉默.
- EZH2倒置恢复了瘤细胞中PRICKLE1的表达.
结论:
- 由ERα和EZH2介导的雌激素暴露抑制了子宫纤维瘤中PRICKLE1的表达.
- 这种抑制导致REST水平降低,可能激活致瘤途径.
- 这些发现确定了新型雌激素-PRICKLE1-REST轴在leiomyoma的发病过程中.

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors
About 48 different soluble family members of nuclear receptors are identified that can be divided into two main classes:
Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response
Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors
GPCRs are also called heptahelical,...

Components of the secretory pathway
About a third of proteins synthesized in the cell are sorted via the secretory route. They shuffle between different compartments in membrane-bound vesicles until they reach their final destination. The main intracellular compartments involved...
