RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are the most common cause of uterine infertility, and conventional treatments have not consistently achieved satisfactory pregnancy rates. Stem cell therapy shows promising potential for the clinical treatment of IUA. Although various advanced biomaterials have been designed for delivering stem cells to the uterine cavity, there remain significant challenges, particularly in devising therapeutic strategies for clinical application that minimize surgical incisions and conform to the intricate structure of uterine cavity. Herein, an injectable hydrogel loaded with human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) was synthesized via the Diels-Alder click reaction for endometrial regeneration and fertility restoration, exhibiting suitable mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and desirable degradation properties. Notably, this hydrogel permitted minimally invasive administration and integrated seamlessly with surrounding tissue. Our study revealed that the UCMSCs-laden injectable hydrogel enhanced cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and exhibited anti-fibrotic effects in vitro. The implantation of this hydrogel significantly facilitated endometrium regeneration and restored fertility in a rat endometrial damage model. Mechanistically, in vivo results indicated that the UCMSCs-laden injectable hydrogel effectively promoted macrophage recruitment and facilitated M2 phenotype polarization. Collectively, this hydrogel demonstrated efficacy in regenerating damaged endometrium, leading to the restoration of fertility. Consequently, it holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy for endometrial damage and fertility decline arising from intrauterine adhesions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Severe endometrial traumas frequently lead to intrauterine adhesions and subsequent infertility. Stem cell therapy shows promising potential for the clinical treatment of IUA; however, challenges remain, including low delivery efficiency and compromised stem cell activity during the delivery process. In this study, we fabricated an injectable hydrogel loaded with UCMSCs via the Diels-Alder click reaction, which exhibited unique bioorthogonality. The in situ-gelling hydrogels could be introduced through a minimally invasive procedure and adapt to the intricate anatomy of the uterus. The UCMSCs-laden injectable hydrogel promoted endometrial regeneration and fertility restoration in a rat endometrial damage model, efficaciously augmenting macrophage recruitment and promoting their polarization to the M2 phenotype. The administration of UCMSCs-laden injectable hydrogel presents a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with severe intrauterine adhesion.

RESUMO

Mesenchymal stem cells play important roles in repairing injured endometrium. However, the molecular targets and potential mechanism of the endometrial recipient cells for stem cell therapy in intrauterine adhesion (IUA) are poorly understood. In this study, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem-cell-conditioned medium (UCMSCs-CM) produced positive effects on a Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) induced IUA cell model. RNA-sequencing was performed on clinical IUA tissues, and the top 40 upregulated and top 20 downregulated mRNAs were selected and verified using high-throughput (HT) qPCR in both tissues and cell models. Based on a bioinformatic analysis of RNA-sequencing and HT-qPCR results, 11 mRNAs were uncovered to be the intervention targets of UCMSCs-CM on IUA endometrium cell models. Among them, IGFBP3 was striking as a key pathogenic gene and a potential diagnostic marker of IUA, which exhibited the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity were 0.924, 93.1% and 80.6%, respectively in 60 endometrial tissues. The silencing of IGFBP3 exerted positive effects on the IUA cell model through partially upregulating MMP1 and KLF2. In conclusion, RNA-sequencing combined with HT qPCR based on clinical tissues and IUA cell models were used in IUA research and our results may provide some scientific ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of IUA.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, is a challenging clinical issue in reproductive medicine. We previously demonstrated that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis of endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) played a vital role in the development of IUA, but the precise pathogenesis remains elucidated. Ferroptosis has now been recognized as a unique form of oxidative cell death, but whether it is involved in endometrial fibrosis remains unknown. In the present study, we performed an RNA-seq of the endometria from 4 severe IUA patients and 4 normal controls. Enrichment analysis and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) network analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were conducted. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess ferroptosis levels and cellular localization. The potential role of ferroptosis for IUA was investigated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Here, we demonstrated that ferroptosis load is increased in IUA endometria. In vitro experiments showed that erastin-induced ferroptosis promoted EMT and fibrosis in endometrial epithelial cells (P < 0.05), but did not lead to pro-fibrotic differentiation in endometrial stromal cells (HESCs). Cell co-culture experiments showed that erastin-stimulated epithelial cell supernatants promoted fibrosis in HESCs (P < 0.05). In vivo experiments suggested that elevation of ferroptosis level in mice by erastin led to mild endometrial EMT and fibrosis. Meanwhile, the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 significantly ameliorated endometrial fibrosis in a dual-injury IUA murine model. Overall, our findings revealed that ferroptosis may serve as a potential therapeutic target for endometrial fibrosis in IUA.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), resulting from pregnancy or nonpregnant uterine trauma, is one of the major causes of abnormal menstruation, infertility, or repeated pregnancy loss. Although a few methods, including hysteroscopy and hormone therapy, are routinely used for its diagnosis and treatment, they cannot restore tissue regeneration. Stem cells, which have self-renewal and tissue regeneration abilities, have been proposed as a promising therapy for patients with severe IUAs. In this review, we summarize the origin and features of endometrium-associated stem cells and their applications in the treatment of IUAs based on animal models and human clinical trials. We expect that this information will help to elucidate the underlying mechanism for tissue regeneration and to improve the design of stem cell-based therapies for IUAs.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the principal causes of secondary infertility in women of reproductive age, which seriously affects female reproductive function and quality of life. In recent years, the incidence of IUA has been increasing year by year, but its pathological mechanism has not yet been clarified. This study intended to reveal the pathogenesis of IUA and find new therapeutic targets by analyzing the proteomic differences between intrauterine adhesion tissues and normal human endometrial tissues. In the label-free quantitative proteomics, we identified 789 up-regulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 539 down-regulated DEPs. These DEPs were further analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and enrichment analysis, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis to preliminarily clarify the biomarkers involved in the pathogenesis of the IUA. The DEPs were further verified by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) to confirm the results of proteomics. Finally, 7 target proteins may be candidates for treatment and elucidating the pathophysiology of IUA. SIGNIFICANCE: IUA is a fertility complication, which has increasing incidence recently. Until now, only a little research paid attention to the proteomic changes of IUA. This is the first study focused on the comparative analysis of endometrial tissue between IUA patients and normal women. We found 7 key proteins that may become the potential biomarkers of IUA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of a water-soluble contrast challenge as part of a nonoperative management algorithm in children with an adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). BACKGROUND: Predicting which children will successfully resolve their ASBO with non-operative management at the time of admission remains difficult. Additionally, the safety of a water-soluble contrast challenge for children with ASBO has not been established in the literature. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent non-operative management for an ASBO and received a contrast challenge across 5 children's hospitals between 2012 and 2020. Safety was assessed by comparing the complication rate associated with a contrast challenge against a pre-specified maximum acceptable level of 5%. Sensitivity, specificity, negative (NPV) and positive (PPV) predictive values of a contrast challenge to identify successful nonoperative management were calculated. RESULTS: Of 82 children who received a contrast challenge, 65% were successfully managed nonoperatively. The most common surgical indications were failure of the contrast challenge or failure to progress after initially passing the contrast challenge. There were no complications related to contrast administration (0%; 95% confidence interval: 0-3.6%, P = 0.03). The contrast challenge was highly reliable in determining which patients would require surgery and which could be successfully managed non-operatively (sensitivity 100%, specificity 86%, NPV 100%, PPV 93%). CONCLUSION: A contrast challenge is safe in children with ASBO and has a high predictive value to assist in clinical decision-making.

RESUMO

Human amniotic transplantation has been proposed to improve the therapeutic efficacy of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs). Human amniotic mesenchymal stem stromal cells (hAMSCs) can differentiate into multiple tissue types. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which hAMSCs transplantation promotes endometrial regeneration. The rat models with IUA were established through mechanical and infective methods, and PKH26-labeled hAMSCs were transplanted through the tail vein (combined with/without estrogen). Under three different conditions, hAMSCs differentiated into endometrium-like cells. HE and Mason staining assays, and immunohistochemistry were used to compare the changes in rat models treated with hAMSCs and/or estrogen transplantation. To define the induction of hAMSCs to endometrium-like cells in vitro, an induction medium (cytokines, estrogen) was used to investigate the differentiation of hAMSCs into endometrium-like cells. qRT-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting were performed to detect the differentiation of hAMSCs into endometrium-like cells. A greater number of glands, fewer endometrial fibrotic areas, and stronger expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and cytokeratin in the combined group (hAMSCs transplantation combined with estrogen) than in the other treatment groups were observed. hAMSCs could be induced into endometrium-like cells by cytokine treatment (TGF-ß1, EGF, and PDGF-BB). Transplantation of hAMSCs is an effective alternative for endometrial regeneration after injury in rats. The differentiation protocol for hAMSCs will be useful for further studies on human endometrial regeneration.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) play an important role in repairing the damaged endometrium of intrauterine adhesion (IUA). Meanwhile, exosomes released by UCMSCs can mediate intercellular communication by delivering miRNAs. It has been shown that miR-543 level was reduced in IUA tissues. However, the role of miR-543 in the progression of IUA remains largely unknown. Therefore, we investigated the role of UCMSCs-derived exosomal miR-543 in IUA. METHODS: In this study, human endometrial epithelial cells (hEECs) were treated with TGF-ß1 for mimicking endometrial fibrosis in vitro. In addition, the IUA-like mouse model in vivo was established by a dual damage method of curettage and LPS infection. RESULTS: The level of miR-543 was markedly reduced in hEECs exposed to TGF-ß1 and in endometrium tissues of IUA mice. Additionally, miR-543 could be transferred from UCMSCs to hEECs via exosomes. Meanwhile, exosomal miR-543-derived from UCMSCs significantly reduced the expressions of N-cadherin, α-SMA, fibronectin 1 and elevated the expression of E-cadherin in TGF-ß1-treated hEECs. Furthermore, UCMSCs-derived exosomal miR-543 attenuated IUA-induced endometrial fibrosis in vivo, as shown by the decreased N-cadherin, α-SMA and fibronectin 1 protein expressions. DISCUSSION: Collectively, UCMSCs-derived exosomal miR-543 was able to prevent endometrial fibrosis both in vitro and in vivo via downregulating N-cadherin. These results may provide an insight into the clinical treatment for IUA.

RESUMO

Objective: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are a major cause of female infertility. Stem cells can be used to restore endometrial function owing to their regenerative abilities. We compared the safety and efficacy of autologous and allogeneic stem cell treatments in patients with recurrent IUA after conventional therapy based on a systematic review of the related literature. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched. All analysis were performed using Review Manager 5.4. We compared improvements in endometrial thickness, pregnancy rates, menstruation, and side effects after autologous and allogeneic stem cell therapy. The study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD 42022322870. Results: Our search returned 154 reports, 10 of which met the inclusion criteria, representing 116 patients. Of these, 44 patients in two studies were treated with allogeneic stem cells and 72 patients in eight studies were treated with autologous stem cells. Improvements in endometrial thickness and pregnancy rates after intrauterine device treatment were compared between the autologous and allogeneic stem cell groups. Endometrial thickness increased more after autologous stem cell IUA treatment (mean difference, 1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-2.07; P < 0.00001), and the pregnancy rate was also improved (relative risk, 1.55; 95% CI: 1.19-2.02, P < 0. 001). No obvious and serious adverse reactions were observed during stem cell therapy in either group. Conclusions: This meta-analysis and systematic review of the results of randomized trials of autologous and allogeneic stem cell treatments for IUA suggests that autologous stem cells have a better effect in improving the endometrium thickness and pregnancy rate.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is characterized by the presence of fibrosis in the uterine cavity. It is mainly caused by infection or trauma to the endometrium, and it imposes a great challenge to female reproductive health. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used to regenerate the human endometrium in patients with IUA, but stem cell therapy is not curative in some patients. Melatonin (MT) was reported as a potential modulator of MSCs. However, it remains unclear whether MSCs pretreated with MT exert an improved therapeutic effect on IUA. In this study, an IUA model was established using our invented electric scratching tool. Our results illustrated that MT-pretreated MSCs significantly attenuated the development of IUA. Moreover, MT-pretreated MSCs highly expressed galectin-3 (Gal-3), which enhanced MSC proliferation and migration and influenced macrophage polarization. Of note, IUA mice exhibited colonic injury, and MT-pretreated MSCs alleviated this injury by normalizing colonic microbial communities and recruiting macrophages. Furthermore, inhibition of sympathetic nerves had no effect on IUA progression but delayed colonic injury, and Gal-3 combined with norepinephrine better promoted M2-like macrophage polarization and inhibited M1-like macrophage polarization. Together, these data indicated that MT-primed MSCs can ameliorate injury of both the uterus and colon in an IUA model through high Gal-3 expression to influence sympathetic nerves and in turn affect the polarization and recruitment of macrophages.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the major causes of refractory secondary infertility, especially in regions and countries with high abortion rates. In this study, we used the mouse IUA model to evaluate the feasibility of the organoids, a 3D cell structure derived from endometrial tissue, as grafts for the treatment of post-traumatic endometrial regeneration disorders. METHODS: The isolated and cultured endometrial organoid was transplanted into the model IUA uterus by the hydrogel scaffold method. RESULTS: The cultured endometrial organoids were transplanted into the basal layer of the damaged endometrium for 28 days. They were completely implanted and grew normally. They not only reconstructed the structural integrity of the endometrial epithelium but also realized the functional repair of the endometrium through differentiation cultures and secretory functions. CONCLUSION: For severe IUA, this method may be better than stem cell transplantation. These findings provide useful insights into the use of endometrial organoid regeneration in the treatment of injury repair.

RESUMO

Menstrual blood mesenchymal stem cell (MBMSC) is a potential cell source for effective therapy for intrauterine adhesion (IUA). Collagen scaffold (CS) loaded with mesenchymal stem cells promotes endometrial regeneration in IUA model animals. However, role of combination of MBMSCs and CS in IUA therapy remains elusive. In particular, transplantation of MBMSCs over a long period of time requires more in-depth research. Here in this study, transplantation of human MBMSCs loaded on CS was applied for therapy for a long term rat IUA model. A rat IUA model characterized by lower number of endometrial glands and increased fibrosis was established. At 90 days after transplantation of the human MBMSC-loaded CS, expression of HuNu, a human protein, was identified in the uteri of the transplanted IUA model rats. The transplantation increased the number of endometrial glands and decreased the fibrotic areas significantly. Moreover, transplantation of the human MBMSC-loaded CS decreased the Collagen I and increased the CK 18 significantly. Immunoblotting assay results further proved the downregulation of Collagen I and the upregulation of CK 18. Together, endometrium regeneration promoted by human MBMSC-loaded CS was demonstrated in a long term rat model of IUA, shedding a new light on the role of human MBMSCs in the therapy for IUA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion after adhesiolysis in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) by establishing the evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar databases were screened from inception till June 2021. Risk of bias of included studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane's Collaboration tool. The efficacy endpoints were summarized as risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) under the fixed-effects model. RESULTS: Three RCTs met the inclusion criteria, comprising a total of 260 patients (132 and 128 patients were allocated to PRP and control groups, respectively). The RCTs revealed an overall low risk of bias. Compared with the control group, the PRP group had a statistically significant higher rate of patients with IUAs grade I-II after intervention (n = 3 RCTs, RR=1.23, 95% CI [1.11 to 1.36], p<0.001), higher duration of menstrual menses after intervention (n = 3 RCTs, MD=1.13 days, 95% CI [0.86 to 1.41], p<0.001), and higher amount of menstrual menses after intervention (n = 3 RCTs, MD=2.96 pads, 95% CI [0.31 to 3.61], p<0.001). All pooled analyses were homogeneous. CONCLUSION: PRP treatment after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is effective in decreasing the IUA grade and improving the duration and amount of menstrual menses. Nonetheless, additional RCTs are warranted to validate these conclusions.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The specific genes or pathways in fibroblasts responsible for the pathogenesis of postoperative abdominal adhesion (PAA) remain to be elucidated. We aim to provide a new insight into disease mechanisms at the transcriptome level. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish a PAA model. Primary fibroblasts were separated from normal peritoneal tissue (NF) and postoperative adhesion tissue (PF). RNA sequencing was used to analyze the transcriptome in NF and PF. RESULTS: One thousand two hundred thirty-five upregulated and 625 downregulated DEGs were identified through RNA-Seq. A pathway enrichment analysis identified distinct enriched biological processes, among which the most prominent was related to immune and inflammatory response and fibrosis. HE staining and Masson's trichrome staining histologically validated the RNA-Seq results. Six hub genes, ITGAM, IL-1ß, TNF, IGF1, CSF1R and EGFR were further verified by RT-PCR. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed the roles of the immune and inflammatory responses and fibrosis in the process of PAA. We also found six hub genes that may be potential therapeutic targets for PPA.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is an endometrial fibrosis disease caused by repeated operations of the uterus and is a common cause of female infertility. In recent years, treatment using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed by many researchers and is now widely used in clinics because of the low immunogenicity of MSCs. It is believed that allogeneic MSCs can be used to treat IUA because MSCs express only low levels of MHC class I molecules and no MHC class II or co-stimulatory molecules. However, many scholars still believe that the use of allogeneic MSCs to treat IUA may lead to immune rejection. Compared with allogeneic MSCs, autologous MSCs are safer, more ethical, and can better adapt to the body. Here, we review recently published articles on the immunomodulation of allogeneic and autologous MSCs in IUA therapy, with the aim of proving that the use of autologous MSCs can reduce the possibility of immune rejection in the treatment of IUAs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of adding adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) to autocross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) gel for intrauterine adhesion (IUA) treatment. METHODS: A rat IUA model was established by mechanical curettage and infection, and then different treatments were administered to the rats on day 7 after modeling. Ninety-six rats were randomly divided into the following groups: IUA model group, gel therapy group, and combination therapy group (HA gel combined with ASCs). Eight rats per group were sacrificed on days 7, 10, 14 and 21 for the subsequent experiments. Morphological changes were determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining. Smad3 and leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF) were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The endometrial lines in the gel therapy group and the combination therapy group were more complete than those in the model group. Masson staining showed that fibrosis area rates in the gel therapy group and the combination therapy group were significantly lower than those in the model group on day 7(P < 0.05). During the observation period, the fibrosis area rates in the combination therapy group remained lower than those in the model group (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of Smad3 in the combination therapy group was lower than that in the model group and gel therapy group during the observation period (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression level of LIF in the combination therapy group was higher than that in the model group and the gel therapy group throughout the observation period (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: HA gel was effective in preventing the IUA adhesion formation at the early stage of the observation period, while ASC enhanced this effect throughout the observation period. Gel and ASC composites helped to improve endometrial receptivity.

RESUMO

Intrauterine adhesion refers to endometrial repair disorders which are usually caused by uterine injury and may lead to a series of complications such as abnormal menstrual bleeding, recurrent abortion and secondary infertility. At present, therapeutic approaches to intrauterine adhesion are limited due to the lack of effective methods to promote regeneration following severe endometrial injury. Therefore, to develop new methods to prevent endometrial injury and intrauterine adhesion has become an urgent need. For severely damaged endometrium, the loss of stem cells in the endometrium may affect its regeneration. This article aimed to discuss the characteristics of various stem cells and their applications for uterine tissue regeneration.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: To compare the patients' outcomes of Asherman syndrome who underwent uterine adhesiolysis in luteal phase or follicular phase.A retrospective cohort study.A tertiary hospital in China.Four hundred sixty-four women suffered intrauterine adhesion who underwent monopolar adhesiolysis from March 2014 to March 2017 were analyzed. One hundred seventy-eight patients underwent operations in follicular phase (OFP) and 286 underwent operations in luteal phase (OLP).Hormone therapy was accompanied with an intrauterine device and a second-look hysteroscopy was performed postoperatively.Endometrial thickness in women was analyzed by a transvaginal 3-dimensional ultrasound examination. Re-adhesion was confirmed by a second-look hysteroscopy 3 months after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Pregnancy rate was acquired by questionnaires 3 months after a second-look hysteroscopy.OLP has advantages with thicker luteal endometrium (P = .001), higher pregnancy rates (P < .001), and lower re-adhesion rates (P = 0015) compared to these values of OFP.For Asherman syndrome, our study showed that OLP is more feasible than OFP in intrauterine adhesiolysis.
