Article Abstract
Successful implantation and pregnancy is dependent on sufficient endometrial growth during each reproductive cycle. Here, we report the therapeutic effect of either bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) or the stem cell chemo-attractant C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) on endometrial receptivity in a murine ethanol induced thin endometrium model. Endometrial epithelial area was significantly increased in mice treated with BMDCs, CXCL12, or by co-treatment with both compared with PBS-treated controls. Ki-67 and CD31 immunoreactivity was significantly higher in mice treated with either BMDCs, CXCL12, or both. The mRNA expression levels of endometrial receptivity markers leukemia inhibitory factor, interleukin-1β, and integrin beta-3 were increased in mice treated with either BMDCs, CXCL12, or both. The mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 were significantly decreased by BMDCs but not by CXCL12. Pregnancy rates and litter size were increased after either treatment. Both BMDCs and CXCL12 displayed a comparable efficacy on endometrial regeneration in mice with thin endometrium. Our findings indicate the potential therapeutic effects of BMDCs and CXCL12 on infertility related to thin endometrium. Bone marrow-derived cells and CXCL12 displayed a comparable efficacy on endometrial regeneration in mice with thin endometrium.

Bone marrow-derived progenitor cells (BMDPCs) are mobilized to the circulation in pregnancy and get recruited to the pregnant decidua where they contribute functionally to decidualization and successful implantation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying BMDPCs recruitment to the decidua are unknown. CXCL12 ligand and its CXCR4 receptor play crucial roles in the mobilization and homing of stem/progenitor cells to various tissues.

Objective: The mechanisms underlying the contribution of primary tumour to pre-metastatic niche formation remains largely unknown in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We previously reported that the released LOXL2 from HCC cells under higher stiffness stimulation facilitated the formation of lung pre-metastatic niche. Here, we further clarified the pathological role of LOXL2 in promoting lung pre-metastatic niche formation and lung metastasis occurrence in HCC and its relevant molecular mechanism.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, inflammatory gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial cells in lesions outside the uterus. Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) engraft lesions and increase lesion size. Do endometriosis cells regulate differentiation of engrafted BMDCs in the pathogenesis and growth of endometriosis? Here, we report endometriosis derived stromal cells promote the differentiation of BMDCs to stromal, epithelial and leukocyte cell fates through paracrine signaling.

Uterine leiomyomas, also known as fibroids or myomas, are a common benign gynecologic tumor found in women of reproductive age. Though advances have been made in understanding leiomyomas, the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease are not fully characterized. Current evidence supports a role of putative human uterine stem/progenitor cells in the onset of uterine disease such as uterine myomas.
