Establishment and characterization of immortalized human eutopic endometrial stromal cells. | LitMetric

Problem: The application of primary eutopic endometrial cells from endometriosis patients in research is restricted for short life span, dedifferentiation of hormone responsiveness.

Method Of Study: Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-induced immortalized cells (iheESCs) were infected by lentivirus. mRNA level was examined by qRT-PCR, and protein expression was quantified by Western blot. CCK-8 and EdU assay were assigned to assess the proliferation. The migration and invasion of cells were assessed by transwell assay. Clone formation assay and nude mouse tumorigenicity assay were used to evaluate colony-formation and tumorigenesis abilities.

Results: hTERT mRNA and protein were significantly expressed higher in iheESCs compared to primary cells. iheESCs grew without morphological change for 42 passages which is much longer than 18 passages of primary cells. There was no obvious difference between primary cells and iheESCs in growth, mobility, and chromosome karyotype. Furthermore, the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and estrogen/progesterone receptors remained unchanged. The decidualization of iheESCs could be induced by progesterone and cAMP. Estrogen increased the proliferation and mobility of iheESCs, and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced the IL-1β and IL-6 promoting inflammatory response. The colony-forming ability of iheESCs, like primary cells, was lower than Ishikawa cells. In addition, tumorigenicity assay indicated that iheESCs were unable to trigger tumor formation in BALB/c nude mouse.

Conclusions: This study established and characterized iheESCs that kept the cellular physiology of primary cells and were not available with tumorigenic ability. Thus, iheESCs would be useful as in vitro cell model to investigate pathogenesis of endometriosis.
