Adipocyte and Adipokines Promote a Uterine Leiomyoma Friendly Microenvironment

Sadia Afrin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adipocyte coculture and leptin treatment on human myometrium and leiomyoma cells. The results showed that coculture and leptin treatment increased the expression of JAK2/STAT3, MAPK/ERK, and PI3k/AKT signaling pathways, as well as promoting the upregulation of tumor-related inflammatory, fibrotic, and angiogenic factors, and increasing leiomyoma cell growth. These findings suggest that adipocytes or their secreted hormones may contribute to leiomyoma development and growth by activating leptin receptor signaling pathways.

Adipocyte coculture induces a pro-inflammatory, fibrotic, angiogenic, and proliferative microenvironment in uterine leiomyoma cells

Sadia Afrin et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which adipocytes contribute to the initiation and promotion of uterine leiomyoma tumors. The results showed that adipocytes promote inflammation, fibrosis, and angiogenesis in leiomyoma cells by upregulating associated factors and transferring free fatty acids. Adipocyte-leiomyoma cell interaction increases the phosphorylation of NF-.B and enhances cell proliferation.

Beta blockers reduce uterine fibroid incidence in hypertensive women

Nicole M. Fischer et al.

Summary: This study found that hypertensive women using beta blockers had a 15% lower odds of developing clinically recognized leiomyomas compared to non-users, especially in the age group of 30-39. Propranolol and metoprolol showed significant associations with reduced uterine fibroid incidence. These findings have clinical relevance for hypertensive women as beta blocker use can both manage hypertension and curb the increased risk of leiomyomas.

The miR-23-27-24 clusters drive lipid-associated macrophage proliferation in obese adipose tissue

Neil T. Sprenkle et al.

Summary: This study shows that knockout of the miR-23-27-24 miRNA gene cluster in mice leads to reduced weight gain on a high-fat diet but worsened glucose and insulin tolerance. Further analysis reveals decreased numbers and proliferation of a subset of lipid-associated CD9+Trem2+ ATMs in the adipose tissue of these mice. The researchers identify Eif4ebp2 mRNA as a direct target of miR-23, a gene that regulates protein synthesis and proliferation in macrophages. Overall, this study highlights the importance of noncoding RNAs in controlling the proliferation of protective macrophages in adipose tissue, thus impacting metabolic dysfunction associated with diet-induced obesity.

Simvastatin inhibits stem cell proliferation in human leiomyoma via TGF-beta 3 and Wnt/beta-Catenin pathways

Sadia Afrin et al.

Summary: The study found that simvastatin has anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects on uterine leiomyoma stem cells. It also suppressed the expression of stemness markers and key extracellular matrix proteins. Additionally, simvastatin inhibited the expression of key genes and/or proteins in the TGF-beta and Wnt4 pathways.

Hypoxia induces proliferation via NOX4-Mediated oxidative stress and TGF-β3 signaling in uterine leiomyoma cells

Mariko Miyashita-Ishiwata et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that hypoxia induces proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in leiomyoma cells, possibly mediated by increased ROS generation and NOX4 expression. It also identifies a novel autocrine mechanism involving TGF-beta 3, which plays a crucial role in hypoxia-induced effects. Inhibition of this autocrine factor attenuates hypoxia-induced NOX4 expression and cell proliferation.

Summary: The study found that adult hypertensive women who used ACE inhibitors had a reduced odds of developing clinically recognized leiomyoma compared to non-users by approximately 31.8%. This association was significant across all age groups (30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-65 years). Specifically, lisinopril, quinapril, and ramipril were significantly associated with reduced leiomyoma incidence.

Summary: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of common benign gynecologic disorders by promoting proliferation, angiogenesis, and lesion progression. The interaction between inflammation and benign gynecologic disorders is influenced by various factors such as sex steroids, genetics, epigenetics, extracellular matrix, stem cells, cardiometabolic risk factors, diet, vitamin D, and the immune system.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the relationship between adipokines such as leptin and ghrelin and their ratio with obesity and diabetes. Results showed that obese patients had higher leptin values and leptin/ghrelin ratios, with significant differences found in analyses stratified by obesity and gender. Obesity and diabetes were associated with changes in the levels of adipokines, even in overweight subjects, indicating a basis for early intervention in diabetic and obese patients.

Leptin and Obesity: Role and Clinical Implication

Milan Obradovic et al.

Summary: Leptin, a peptide hormone, regulates food intake, body mass, and reproductive function, playing a crucial role in fetal growth, immune responses, angiogenesis, and lipolysis. Leptin resistance can lead to reduced satiety, overconsumption of nutrients, and increased body mass, potentially causing obesity. Combining leptin therapies with sensitizers may help overcome resistance and treat obesity effectively.

Vascular biology of uterine fibroids: connecting fibroids and vascular disorders

Gregory W. Kirschen et al.

Summary: Fibroids are benign tumors caused by the proliferation of myometrial smooth muscle cells in the uterus, potentially linked with the systemic vasculature system. They are associated with essential hypertension, preeclampsia, and atherosclerosis. Factors such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, estrogen, and endothelial dysfunction likely play a role in fibroid pathogenesis.

Summary: Nutritional factors and dietary habits play a significant role in the development of gynecological diseases, with diets rich in fruits, vegetables, green tea, and vitamin D potentially having a positive impact, while fats, red meat, alcohol, and coffee may contribute to disease development. Conflicting data on the association between dietary habits and gynecological disorders indicate the need for further research to clarify the impact of various factors in disease prevention and development.
