“…Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs; also known as Asherman syndrome)—which partially or completely obliterate the uterine cavity—occur following damage to the basal layer of the endometrium . The most frequent cause of IUAs is trauma to endometrium, such as dilatation and curettage in a gravid uterus and intrauterine operations .…”

“…3 Although hysteroscopic lysis of adhesions is the most effective method to re-establish the anatomy of the uterine cavity and restore endometrial function, the procedure itself contributes to readhesions because it may damage the epithelial cells postoperatively. 4 Therefore, it is imperative to find a treatment that targets the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of IUA.…”

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) frequently occur after infectious or mechanical injury to the endometrium, which may lead to infertility and/or pregnancy complications. There are few effective treatments due to the complex function of endometrium and shortage of native materials. 17β-estradiol (E 2 ) is commonly used as an ancillary treatment in IUA patients, but it is limited by its poor solubility in aqueous solutions and low concentrations at the injured sites. In this research, a mini-endometrial curette was used to injure the rat’s endometrium to form an IUA model. 17β-estradiol was encapsulated into the micelles of heparin-poloxamer and a thermosensitive hydrogel (E 2 -HP hydrogel) was formed. This sustained releasing system was applied to restore the structure and function of the injured uterus. E 2 -HP hydrogel was constructed and relevant characteristics including gelation temperature and micromorphology were evaluated. Sustained release of 17β-estradiol from HP hydrogel was performed both in vitro and in vivo. Ultrasonography measurement and pathologic characteristics on the IUA rats were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of E 2 -HP hydrogel. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related apoptosis was analyzed to explore the possible mechanisms in IUA recovery. E 2 -HP hydrogel showed a prolonged release of E 2 at the targeting region and more effective endometrium regeneration in IUA rats. Significant improvements in both gland numbers and fibrosis area were observed in the E 2 -HP hydrogel group. We also demonstrated that E 2 -HP hydrogel in the recovery of IUA was closely related to the suppression of ER stress signals via the activation of downstream signals, PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2. HP hydrogel might be an effective approach to deliver E 2 into the injured endometrium. Therapeutic strategies targeting ER stress using E 2 -HP hydrogel might be a promising solution for the treatment of women with intrauterine adhesions.

“…The severe endometrial damage frequently associates with amenorrhoea and infertility, which imposes huge burden on women both physically and psychologically 19. With the limitation of available clinical options for this complication, the exploitation focus has been increasingly concentrated on BMSCs‐based therapy.…”

To investigate the potential beneficial effect of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) in BMSC transplantation therapy of uterus injury and the underlying molecular mechanisms, rat BMSCs were isolated and cultured. The relative expressions of IGF‐1 and IL‐10 were determined by RT‐PCR and immunoblotting. The secretory IL‐10 and released E2 were measured using ELISA kits. The relative vWF and α‐SMA expressions were determined by immunohistochemistry. The direct binding of NF‐κB subunit p50 with IL‐10 promoter was analysed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. The regulation of IL‐10 expression by p50 was interrogated by luciferase reporter assay. Our data demonstrated that IGF‐1 expression in BMSCs induced IL‐10 expression and secretion, which was further enhanced by E2‐PLGA. IGF‐1 overexpression improved BMSCs transplantation therapy in rat uterus injury. We further demonstrated that both inhibition and knockdown of p50 abolished IGF‐1‐induced expression and secretion of IL‐10 in BMSCs, which consequently compromised the IGF‐1 conferred therapeutic benefits against uterus injury. Furthermore, we elucidated that p50 regulated IL‐10 expression via direct association with its promoter. Our data suggested that transplantation of IGF‐1 overexpressing BMSCs improved functional regeneration of injured uterus by inducing IL‐10 expression and secretion via activation of NF‐κB signalling.
