DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS OF

ENDOMETRIOSIS

ver 100 years the problem of endometriosis (EM) a common disabilitat-

ing female disease remains very urgent with no efficient prevention, pre-

diction or treatment known so far. For many decades EM was in the focus

of complex studies in our institute. The report highlights major advances in

molecular genetic studies of endometriosis, its pathogenomics, as well as

some recent hypothesis in this area. Spectacular progress in this area could

be attributed to the systems genetic view of EM which implies identification

of many (over 100) EM genes, analysis of their functional allelic variants,

comparative gene expression studies in euthopic and ectopic endometrium,

gene interactions within relevant (about 30) metabolic pathways, as well as

complex epigenetic damages due to abnormal methylation pattern and miR-

NA deregulation. Endometrial stem cells (eSC) which reside in the borderline

of endometrium and myometrium l within junction layer (eSC niche), or mes-

enchymal stem cells - the products of epithelial/mesenchymal cells transition

(EMT) was shown play a major role in the origin of endometriosis. Also, the

peculiarities of personal genetic background, unique “epigenetic landscape”

of genetically and epigenetically predisposed to EM stem cells underlie the

origin of pathological process which soon becomes canalized and irrevers-

ible and proceeds to final clinical manifestation. Novel data on the molecular,

genetic and epigenetic mechanisms governing EM suggests the existence of

endometriosis development genetic program (EMDP) mitigated with at least

three tentative r sensitive periods (SP). The origin of genetically or epigeneti-

cally modified stem cells potentially destined to give rise to endometriosis

(SP1), endometrial epithelium cells transition (metaplasia) into mesenchymal

SCs through EMT) (SP2), and their invasion into peritoneum with subsequent

progression into endometriotic lesions (SP3). Feasible origin of EM from

the embryonic stem cells disseminated throughout the pelvic lining during

female urogenital system embryogenesis should not be considered as well.

Complex genomic and epigenetic interactions at different stages of EMs pro-

gression result in different forms of the disease, with their specific traits and

clinical manifestations. The EMDP and especially its highly vulnerable sensi-

tive periods might be of major significance in elaboration a new strategy of

EM prediction, prevention, and treatment.
