Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is growing evidence suggesting a relationship between periostin levels, inflammation, and ovarian dysfunction. In this prospective case-control study, we aimed to investigate serum periostin levels and their relationship with metabolic parameters in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS We conducted a prospective case-control study involving 45 polycystic ovary syndrome patients and 45 control subjects, matched in a 1:1 ratio. Serum samples collected from both study and control groups were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The demographic characteristics were similar between the polycystic ovary syndrome and control groups (p>0.05). Periostin levels were significantly higher in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared with the control group (4.67±2.46 vs. 2.60±1.41 ng/mL, respectively; p=0.000). CONCLUSION Our study revealed a significant elevation in periostin levels among polycystic ovary syndrome patients compared with controls. These findings suggest that periostin could serve as a potential marker for assessing disease severity in polycystic ovary syndrome patients.

Abstract
While various molecular profiling methods have been described for the early diagnosis and prognostic process of endometrial cancer, the most common gynaecological cancer, the data obtained remain insufficient. The present study aimed to investigate the protein and gene expression of periostin and its role as a new biomarker in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of endometrial cancer. A total of 15 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the Department of Pathology, Zeynep Kamil Training and Research Hospital (Istanbul, Turkey) and 15 patients who were operated on for non-tumour-related reasons, between December 2019 and May 2020, were included in the study. The cases diagnosed with endometrial cancer were divided into three groups: International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics grades I, II and III. Pathology tumour blocks were selected for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and PCR studies in which periostin gene expression and protein levels were measured, respectively. A significant increase in periostin gene expression was observed in the endometrial cancer samples compared with that in the controls (3.40±0.66 vs. 2.23±0.47). The protein level of periostin in the tissues was found to be higher in the endometrial cancer samples than that in the control group (1.59±0.31 vs. 0.94±0.22). The levels of periostin protein and gene expression detected in the endometrial cancer samples increased as the grade increased. To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first to determine the levels of periostin protein and gene expression in endometrial cancer. The results suggested that periostin may be used as a biomarker in the determination of higher histological grade in endometrial cancer.

Reprod Biol Endocrinol 2017; 15:87. [PMID: 29096644 PMCID: PMC5667517 DOI: 10.1186/s12958-017-0307-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2017] [Accepted: 10/23/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Miscarriage is a common complication in pregnancy and there is still a lack of biomarkers usable in asymptomatic patients before the event occurs. Periostin (PER), whose levels rise particularly during injury or inflammation, has been shown to play an important local role in implantation and early embryonic development. As PER has been described as a biomarker in various medical conditions we intended to evaluate if changes in PER serum levels may help to identify women at risk for spontaneous abortion in the first trimester. METHODS Women between 18 and 42 years without confounding comorbidities who conceived by IVF/ICSI and ovarian hyperstimulation were analysed in the study after informed consent. Maternal serum samples from 41 patients were assessed at the time of pregnancy testing (PT) and the following first ultrasound checkup (US). Patients were subsequently divided in two groups: (1) patients with subsequent miscarriage in the first trimester (n = 18) and (2) patients with ongoing pregnancy (n = 23), allowing for statistical analysis and investigating the change of PER levels per individual. PER levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact and Student's t test. p ≤ 0.05 was considered to be significant. RESULTS There was no significant difference concerning possible confounders between the two groups. We did not find any significant difference in PER levels at the time point of PT or US. By investigating the interindividual changes of PER between the two time points however, we observed that patients with a following miscarriage showed increasing levels of PER at the time point of PT compared to US in contrast to patients with an ongoing pregnancy who demonstrated a decrease in PER levels. These alterations were significant in the absolute as well as in the relative comparison. CONCLUSION The relative expression of PER between PT and US is significantly altered in asymptomatic women with subsequent miscarriage compared to women with ongoing pregnancy. Therefore systemic PER levels might represent a potential promising biomarker for the assessment of pregnancy outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify the level of periostin in serum and peritoneal washing fluids (PWF) from women with and without endometriosis, as well as to explore the potential of periostin as a biomarker of endometriosis. METHODS Samples were obtained from 184 women with and without endometriosis. Concentrations of periostin in PWF and blood were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Levels of periostin both in serum and PWF were notably elevated in women with endometriosis in both the proliferative and secretory phase. Combined with dysmenorrhea and infertility, two potential covariates, the serum periostin had a sensitivity of 75.00%, specificity of 65.00%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.774, whereas the PWF periostin had a sensitivity of 94.23%, specificity of 90.00%, and AUC of 0.967 for the diagnosis of endometriosis. CONCLUSION Serum and PWF periostin concentrations may be new potential biomarkers for endometriosis, especially when combined with dysmenorrhea and infertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Asthma often complicates pregnancy and represents a risk for complications. Periostin is considered as a biomarker of asthma; however, as it also plays a role in normal gestation, pregnancy may influence circulating periostin levels. This is the first study assessing periostin in asthmatic pregnancy. METHODS Plasma periostin levels were investigated in asthma (asthmatic non-pregnant, ANP; N = 19) and asthmatic pregnancy (AP; N = 14), compared to healthy non-pregnant controls (HNP; N = 12) and healthy pregnant women (HP; N = 17). The relationship between periostin levels and asthma control determinants was also evaluated. The diagnostic efficacy of periostin to detect uncontrolled asthma was analyzed using ROC analysis. RESULTS Plasma periostin levels were similar in the HNP and ANP (55.68 [37.21-67.20] vs. 45.25 [32.67-64.55], p > 0.05), and elevated in the HP (68.81 [57.34-98.84] ng/mL, p = 0.02 vs. HNP) and AP groups (54.02 [44.30-74.94] ng/mL, p = 0.0346 vs. ANP). Periostin levels of the two pregnant groups were similar (p > 0.05). In AP women periostin correlated negatively with FEV1 (r = -0.5516) and positively with Raw (r = 0.5535; both p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy itself increases circulating periostin levels and this elevation is detectable in asthmatic pregnancy as well. Although periostin correlates with lung function in asthmatic pregnancy, periostin as a biomarker has to be handled with caution in pregnant patients due to the influence of pregnancy on its plasma level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To investigate the expression of periostin in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women diagnosed as endometriosis and evaluate the role of periostin in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN In this study, the expression of periostin was evaluated in the endometrial specimens from 35 women diagnosed as endometriosis and from 30 healthy women. To assess the presence and localization of periostin throughout the menstrual cycle in both eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis, microscopic evaluation was conducted. It was also subsequently compared with normal endometrium. RESULTS In the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis, immunoreactivities of periostin increased compared with those of normal endometrium. We also observed a cyclic variation in the eutopic stromal periostin immunoreactivity throughout their menstrual cycle because higher H score values were observed in the proliferative phase than those in the secretory phase. CONCLUSION(S) These findings indicated that periostin may be involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis.

Abstract
During early pregnancy in ruminants, progesterone (P4) and interferon tau (IFNT) act on the endometrium to regulate genes hypothesized to be important for conceptus development and implantation. The present study was conducted to verify several candidate genes (actin α-2, smooth muscle, aorta (ACTA2), collagen, type III, α-1 (COL3A1), periostin (POSTN), secreted protein acidic cysteine-rich (SPARC), S100 calcium-binding protein A2 (S100A2),STAT5Aand transgelin (TAGLN)) regulated by pregnancy, P4, and/or IFNT in the endometrium determined using a custom ovine cDNA array.S100A2mRNA was detected primarily in endometrial epithelia and conceptuses.S100A2mRNA increased in endometrial epithelia from days 10 to 16 in cyclic ewes and from days 10 to 14 in pregnant ewes and declined thereafter. The abundance ofS100A2mRNA was less in endometrial luminal epithelium of IFNT-infused ewes receiving P4. Expression ofCOL3A1, SPARC, ACTA2, andTAGLNwas independent of pregnancy, P4, or IFNT.POSTNmRNA was detected primarily in compact stroma of intercaruncular and caruncular endometria, but not in the conceptus. EndometrialPOSTNmRNA increased between days 12 and 14 in pregnant but not cyclic ewes, andPOSTNmRNA was more abundant in uterine stroma of ewes treated with P4. POSTN protein was detected in uterine flushings of pregnant ewes and found to mediate attachment and stimulate migration of ovine trophectoderm cellsin vitro. These results support the ideas that POSTN and S100A2 are regulated by P4and IFNT respectively, and that POSTN is involved in conceptus elongation during early pregnancy.
