Singh N, Herbert B, Sooranna G, Shah NM, Das A, Sooranna SR, Johnson MRet al., 2021, Is there an inflammatory stimulus to human term labour?, PLoS One, Vol: 16, Pages: 1-22, ISSN: 1932-6203

Inflammation is thought to play a pivotal role in the onset of term and some forms of preterm labour. Although, we recently found that myometrial inflammation is a consequence rather than a cause of term labour, there are several other reproductive tissues, including amnion, choriodecidua parietalis and decidua basalis, where the inflammatory stimulus to labour may occur. To investigate this, we have obtained amnion, choriodecidual parietalis and decidua basalis samples from women at various stages of pregnancy and spontaneous labour. The inflammatory cytokine profile in each tissue was determine by Bio-Plex Pro® cytokine multiplex assays and quantitative RT-PCR. Active motif assay was used to study transcription activation in the choriodecidua parietalis. Quantitative RT-PCR was use to study the pro-labour genes (PGHS-2, PGDH, OTR and CX43) in all of the tissues at the onset of labour and oxytocin (OT) mRNA expression in the choriodecidual parietalis and decidua basalis. Statistical significance was ascribed to a P value <0.05. In the amnion and choriodecidua parietalis, the mRNA levels of various cytokines decreased from preterm no labour to term no labour samples, but the protein levels were unchanged. The choriodecidua parietalis showed increase in the protein levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the term early labour samples. In the amnion and decidua basalis, the protein levels of several cytokines rose in term established labour. The multiples of the median derived from the 19-plex cytokine assay were greater in term early labour and term established labour samples from the choriodecidua parietalis, but only in term established labour for myometrium. These data suggest that the inflammatory stimulus to labour may begin in the choriodecidua parietalis, but the absence of any change in prolabour factor mRNA levels suggests that the cytokines may act on the myometrium where we observed changes in transcription factor activation and increases in prolabour gene

Yulia A, Singh N, Varley AJ, Lei K, Markovic D, Sooranna SR, Johnson MRet al., 2021, PKA and AKIP1 interact to mediate cAMP-driven COX-2 expression: A potentially pivotal interaction in preterm and term labour, PLoS One, Vol: 16, Pages: 1-21, ISSN: 1932-6203

Previously, we showed that cAMP increased COX-2 expression in myometrial cells via MAPK. Here, we have extended these observations, using primary myometrial cell cultures to show that the cAMP agonist, forskolin, enhances IL-1β-driven COX-2 expression. We then explored the role of A-kinase interacting protein (AKIP1), which modulates the effect of PKA on p65 activation. AKIP1 knockdown reversed the effect of forskolin, such that its addition inhibited IL-1β-induced COX-2 mRNA expression and reduced the IL-1β-induced increase in nuclear levels of p65 and c-jun. Forskolin alone and with IL-1β increased IκBα mRNA expression suggesting that in the context of inflammation and in the presence of AKIP1, cAMP enhances p65 activation. AKIP1 knockdown reversed these changes. Interestingly, AKIP1 knockdown had minimal effect on the ability of forskolin to repress either basal OTR expression or IL-1β-stimulated OTR mRNA expression. AKIP1 was up-regulated by IL-1β, but not stretch and was repressed by cAMP. The mRNA expression of AKIP1 increased in early labour in tandem with an increase in COX-2 mRNA and protein. AKIP1 protein levels were also increased with inflammation and stretch-induced preterm labour. Our results identify a second important cAMP effector-switch occurring at term in human myometrium and suggest that a hitherto unrecognized interaction may exist between AKIP1, NFκB and AP-1. These data add to the proposition that cAMP acts as a key regulator of human myometrial contractility.

Singh N, Herbert B, Sooranna G, Das A, Sooranna SR, Yellon SM, Johnson MRet al., 2019, Distinct preterm labor phenotypes have unique inflammatory signatures and contraction associated protein profiles, Biology of Reproduction, Vol: 101, Pages: 1031-1045, ISSN: 0006-3363

Preterm labor (PTL) is the predominant cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. It has several phenotypes, each with a distinct etiology often involving inflammation. Here, in samples of reproductive tissues obtained in early PTL from women with phenotypically defined PTL, we examined the presence and distribution of inflammation and its relationship with prolabor gene expression. In chorioamnionitis (CA-PTL), cytokine protein concentrations were increased across all tissues; in idiopathic (I-PTL), the inflammatory changes were limited to the choriodecidua; inflammation was not a feature of placental abruption (PA-PTL). CA-PTL was associated with activation of p65 in the myometrium and AP-1 in the choriodecidua, and PA-PTL with CREB in the choriodecidua. In the myometrium, PGHS-2 mRNA level was increased in CA- and I-PTL; in the amnion, PGHS-2 mRNA level was higher in PA- and I-PTL, while in CA-PTL, OT, OTR mRNA, and CX-43 expression were increased. In the choriodecidua, PGHS-2 mRNA level was unchanged, but in CA and I-PTL, OT mRNA level were increased and OTR was reduced. These data show that CA-PTL is associated with widespread inflammation and prolabor gene expression. In contrast, in I-PTL, inflammation is limited to the choriodecidua, with discrete increases in PGHS-2 in the amnion and OT in the choriodecidua. Inflammation is not a feature of PA-PTL, which is associated with increased OT and OTR in the amnion.

He Y, Li Z, Wang W, Sooranna SR, Shi Y, Chen Y, Wu C, Zeng J, Tang Q, Xie Het al., 2018, Chemical profiles and simultaneous quantification of Aurantii fructus by use of HPLC-Q-TOF-MS combined with GC-MS and HPLC methods, Molecules, Vol: 23, ISSN: 1420-3049

Aurantii fructus (AF) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used to improve gastrointestinal motility disorders for over a thousand years, but there is no exhaustive identification of the basic chemical components and comprehensive quality control of this herb. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to identify the basic chemical compounds, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed to determine the major biochemical markers from AF extract. There were 104 compounds belonging to eight structure types, including 13 amino acids or peptides, seven alkaloids, 18 flavanones, 14 flavones, 15 polymethoxyflavonoids, six triterpenoids, nine coumarins, and 18 volatile oils, as well as four other compounds that were systematically identified as the basic components from AF, and among them, 41 compounds were reported for the first time. Twelve bioactive ingredients were chosen as the benchmark markers to evaluate the quality of AF. The analysis was completed with a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min within 55 min. This efficient method was validated showing good linearity, precision, stability, repeatability and recovery. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of 12 chemical markers in different samples of AF. This study could be applied to the identification of multiple bioactive substances and improve the quality control of AF.
