View SamplesPreterm birth is an important unsolved clinical problem. Despite advanced treatments, infants who survive prematurity remain at increased risk for permanent disabilities. In approximately one-third of cases, prematurity is related to infection and/or inflammation, which renders hostile the normally receptive intrauterine environment. Proinflammatory cytokines provoke up-regulation of genes that promote uterine contractions. Using monolayer cultures of human decidual cells as a model, we profiled the global pattern of gene expression in response to cytokine challenge.
Inflammatory gene networks in term human decidual cells define a potential signature for cytokine-mediated parturition.

View SamplesPremature birth continues to be a challenging pregnancy complication, and a body of literature indicates that inflammation can contribute to premature delivery by converting a receptive uterine environment to a hostile one. Cytokines have been demonstrated to provoke up-regulation of inflammatory genes (e.g. interleukin-1, 6, and 8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, cyclooxygenase-2, and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1).

View SamplesGrainyhead genes are involved in wound healing and developmental neural tube closure. In light of the high degree of similarity between the epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) occurring in wound healing processes and the cancer stem cell-like compartment of tumors, including TGF--dependence, we investigated the role of a Grainyhead gene (GRHL2) in oncogenic EMT. Grainyhead was specifically down-regulated in the claudin-low subclass of mammary tumors and in the basal-B subclass of breast cancer cell lines. Functionally, GRHL2 suppressed TGF--induced, Twist-induced or spontaneous EMT, enhanced anoikis-sensitivity, and suppressed mammosphere generation in mammary epithelial cells. These effects were mediated, in part, by its suppression of ZEB1 expression, through direct repression of the ZEB1 promoter. GRHL2 also inhibited Smad-mediated transcription, and up-regulated mir200b/c as well as the TGF- receptor antagonist, BMP2. The expression of GRHL2 in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 triggered a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition and sensitized the cells to anoikis. These results indicate that GRHL2 is a suppressor of the oncogenic EMT.
