Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent endocrinopathies and the leading cause of anovulatory infertility, but its pathogenesis remains elusive. Although HB-EGF is involved in ovarian cancer progression, there is still no clarity about its relevance with PCOS. The present study exhibited that abundant HB-EGF was noted in follicular fluid from PCOS women, where it might induce the granulosa cells (GCs) production of more estrogen via the elevation of CYP19A1 expression after binding to EGFR. Furthermore, HB-EGF transduced intracellular downstream cAMP-PKA signaling to promote the phosphorylation of JNK and ERK whose blockage impeded the induction of HB-EGF on estrogen secretion. Meanwhile, HB-EGF enhanced the accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ whose chelation by BAPTA-AM abrogated the stimulation of HB-EGF on FOXO1 along with an obvious diminishment for estrogen production. cAMP-PKA-JNK/ERK-Ca2+ pathway played an important role in the crosstalk between HB-EGF and FOXO1. Treatment of GCs with HB-EGF resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction as evinced by the reduction of ATP content, mtDNA copy number and mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, HB-EGF facilitated the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore via targeting BAX and raised the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria into the cytosol to trigger the apoptosis of GCs, but this effectiveness was counteracted by estrogen receptor antagonist. Collectively, HB-EGF might induce mitochondrial dysfunction and GCs apoptosis through advancing estrogen hypersecretion dependent on cAMP-PKA-JNK/ERK-Ca2+-FOXO1 pathway and act as a promising therapeutic target for PCOS.

Abstract
Aim: To detect predictive value of preconception or early pregnancy sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) for subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Materials & methods: We searched Embase, Medline, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane library up to January 2020. Studies assessing diagnostic performance of SHBG for GDM diagnosed by well-defined diagnostic criteria using oral glucose tolerance test. Results: Totally seven studies with 1947 women were included and 247 were diagnosed as GDM. SHBG had a combined diagnostic odds ratio of 6.68 (95% CI: 4.58-9.74), sensitivity of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.51-0.84), specificity of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.52-0.88), positive likelihood ratio of 2.49 (95% CI: 1.73-3.57) and negative likelihood ratio of 0.37 (95% CI: 0.23-0.61). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.82). Conclusion: SHBG had a predictive value for GDM and might improve GDM screening. However, heterogeneity between studies warrants more research into this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization estimated that about 1.36 million pregnant women suffered from syphilis in 2008, and nearly 66% of adverse effects occurred in those who were not tested or treated. Syphilis infection is one of the most common maternal factors associated with stillbirth. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the risk factors for stillbirth among pregnant women infected with syphilis. METHODS In this retrospective study, data on stillbirth and gestational syphilis from 2010 to 2016 were extracted from the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program database in the Zhejiang province. A total of 8,724 pregnant women infected with syphilis were included. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the degree of association between gestational syphilis and stillbirth. RESULTS We found that the stillbirth percentage among pregnant women infected with syphilis was 1.7% (152/8,724). Compared with live births, stillbirth was significantly associated with lower maternal age, not being married, lower gravidity, the history of syphilis, nonlatent syphilis stage, higher maternal serum titer for syphilis, inadequate treatment for syphilis, and later first antenatal care visit. In multiple logistic analysis, nonlatent syphilis (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.17, 3.53) and maternal titers over 1 : 4 (AOR = 1.78; 95% CI = 1.25, 2.53) were risk factors for stillbirth, and adequate treatment was the only protective factor for stillbirth (AOR = 0.16; 95% CI = 0.10, 0.25). CONCLUSIONS Nonlatent syphilis and maternal titers over 1 : 4 were risk factors for stillbirth, and adequate treatment was the only protective factor for stillbirth.

Abstract
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) is crucial for spermatogenesis and Leydig cell differentiation, but little is known regarding its physiological function in cartilage. In this study, Dhh mRNA was abundant in antler chondrocytes, where it advanced cell proliferation concomitant with accelerated transition from the G1 to the S phase and induced elevation of the hypertrophic chondrocyte markers, Col X and Runx2. Silencing of Ptch1 resulted in appreciable Smo accumulation and enhanced rDhh stimulation of Smo, whose impediment by cyclopamine obscured the proliferative function of Dhh and alleviated its guidance of chondrocyte differentiation. Further analysis evidenced the noteworthy positive action of Smo in the bridging between Dhh and Gli transcription factors. Obstruction of Gli1 by GANT58 caused the failed stimulation of Col X and Runx2 by rDhh. Analogously, siRNA against Gli1-3 hindered chondrocyte differentiation in the context of rDhh. Simultaneously, Gli transcription factors mediated the regulation of Dhh on Foxa1, Foxa2, and Foxa3, whose knockdown impaired chondrocyte differentiation. Attenuation of Foxa antagonized the augmentation of Col X and Runx2 generated by rDhh. Collectively, Dhh signaling through its target Foxa appears to induce antler chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
Malic enzyme 1 (Me1), a member of the malic enzymes involving in glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle, is essential for the energy metabolism and maintenance of intracellular redox balance state, but its physiological role and regulatory mechanism in the uterine decidualization are still unknown. Current study showed that Me1 was strongly expressed in decidual cells, and could promote the proliferation and differentiation of stromal cells followed by an accelerated cell cycle transition, indicating an importance of Me1 in the uterine decidualization. Silencing of Me1 attenuated NADPH generation and reduced GR activity, while addition of NADPH improved the defect of GR activity elicited by Me1 depletion. Further analysis found that Me1 modulated intracellular GSH content via GR. Meanwhile, Me1 played a role in maintaining mitochondrial function as indicated by these observations that blockadge of Me1 led to the accumulation of mitochondrial O 2 - level and decreased ATP production and mtDNA copy numbers accompanied with defective mitochondrial membrane potential. In uterine stromal cells, progesterone induced Me1 expression through PR-cAMP-PKA pathway. Knockdown of HB-EGF might impede the regulation of progesterone and cAMP on Me1. Collectively, Me1 is essential for uterine decidualization in response to progesterone/cAMP/PKA/HB-EGF pathway and plays an important role in preventing mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation are crucial for endochondral ossification and strictly regulated by numerous signaling molecules and transcription factors, but the hierarchical regulatory network remains to be deciphered. The present study emphasized the interplay of Activin A, Foxa, Notch and Shh signaling in the proliferation and differentiation of antler chondrocytes. We found that Activin A promoted chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, and accelerated the transition of cell cycle from G1 into S phase along with the activation of Notch and Shh signaling whose blockage attenuated above function of Activin A. Inhibition of Notch pathway by DAPT led to a significant reduction in the expression of Shh signaling molecules, whereas addition of exogenous rShh rescued the delayed onset of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation elicited by DAPT, indicating that Notch pathway is upstream of Shh signaling. Further analysis evidenced that DAPT attenuated the activation of Activin A on Shh signaling. Simultaneously, Foxa transcription factors were downstream targets of Shh signaling in chondrocyte differentiation. Moreover, Shh pathway played an important role in the crosstalk between Activin A-Notch signaling and Foxa. Collectively, Shh signaling may act downstream of Notch pathway to mediate the effects of Activin A on the proliferation and differentiation of antler chondrocytes through targeting Foxa.

Abstract
Although all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is involved in the regulation of cartilage growth and development, its regulatory mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we showed that ATRA could induce the expression of COL9A1 in antler chondrocytes. Silencing of cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2) could impede the ATRA-induced upregulation of COL9A1, whereas overexpression of CRABP2 presented the opposite effect. RARα agonist Am80 induced the expression of COL9A1, whereas treatment with RARα antagonist Ro 41-5253 or RXRα small-interfering RNA (siRNA) caused an obvious blockage of ATRA on COL9A1. In antler chondrocytes, CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 weakened the sensitivity of ATRA to COL9A1. Simultaneously, Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and WNT4 mediated the regulation of ATRA on COL9A1 expression. Knockdown of WNT4 could abrogate the inhibitory effect of BMP2 overexpression on COL9A1. Conversely, constitutive expression of WNT4 reversed the upregulation of COL9A1 elicited by BMP2 siRNA. Together these data indicated that WNT4 might act downstream of BMP2 to mediate the effect of ATRA on COL9A1 expression. Further analysis evidenced that attenuation of runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) could prevent the stimulation of ATRA on COL9A1 expression, while exogenous rRUNX1 further enhanced this effectiveness. Moreover, RUNX1 might serve as an intermediate to mediate the regulation of BMP2 and WNT4 on COL9A1 expression. Collectively, ATRA signaling might regulate the expression of COL9A1 through BMP2-WNT4-RUNX1 pathway.

Abstract
Although IGF1 is important for the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes, its underlying molecular mechanism is still unknown. Here we addressed the physiologic function of IGF1 in antler cartilage and explored the interplay of IGF1, IRS1/2 and RUNX1 in chondrocyte differentiation. The results showed that IGF1 was highly expressed in antler chondrocytes. Exogenous rIGF1 could increase the proliferation of chondrocytes and cell proportion in the S phase, whereas IGF1R inhibitor PQ401 abrogated the induction by rIGF1. Simultaneously, IGF1 could stimulate the expression of IHH which was a well-known marker for prehypertrophic chondrocytes. Further analysis evidenced that IGF1 regulated the expression of IRS1/2 whose silencing resulted in a rise of IHH mRNA levels, but the regulation was impeded by PQ401. Knockdown of IRS1 or IRS2 with specific siRNA could greatly enhance rIGF1-induced chondrocyte differentiation and reduce the expression of RUNX1. Extraneous rRUNX1 might rescue the effects of IRS1 or IRS2 siRNA on the differentiation. In antler chondrocytes, IGF1 played a role in modulating the expression of RUNX1 through IGF1R. Moreover, attenuation of RUNX1 expression advanced the differentiation elicited by rIGF1, while administration of rRUNX1 to chondrocytes treated with IGF1 siRNA or PQ401 reduced their differentiation. Additionally, siRNA-mediated downregulation of IRS1 or IRS2 in the chondrocytes impaired the interaction between IGF1 and RUNX1. Collectively, IGF1 could promote the proliferation and differentiation of antler chondrocytes. Furthermore, IRS1/2 might act downstream of IGF1 to regulate chondrocyte differentiation through targeting RUNX1.

Abstract
Although Hmgn1 is involved in the regulation of gene expression and cellular differentiation, its physiological roles on the differentiation of uterine stromal cells during decidualization still remain unknown. Here we showed that Hmgn1 mRNA was highly expressed in the decidua on days 6-8 of pregnancy. Simultaneously, increased expression of Hmgn1 was also observed in the artificial and in vitro induced decidualization models. Hmgn1 induced the proliferation of uterine stromal cells and expression of Ccna1, Ccnb1, Ccnb2 and Cdk1 in the absence of estrogen and progesterone. Overexpression of Hmgn1 could enhance the expression of Prl8a2 and Prl3c1 which were 2 well-known differentiation markers for decidualization, whereas inhibition of Hmgn1 with specific siRNA could reduce their expression. Further studies found that Hmgn1 could mediate the effects of C/EBPβ on the expression of Prl8a2 and Prl3c1 during in vitro decidualization. In the uterine stromal cells, cAMP analog 8-Br-cAMP could stimulate the expression of Hmgn1 via C/EBPβ. Moreover, siRNA-mediated down-regulation of Hmgn1 could attenuate the effects of cAMP on the differentiation of uterine stromal cells. During in vitro decidualization, Hmgn1 might act downstream of C/EBPβ to regulate the expression of Cox-2, mPGES-1 and Vegf. Progesterone could up-regulate the expression of Hmgn1 in the ovariectomized mouse uterus, uterine epithelial cells and stromal cells. Knockdown of C/EBPβ with siRNA alleviated the up-regulation of progesterone on Hmgn1 expression. Collectively, Hmgn1 may play an important role during mouse decidualization.

Here we showed that Hmgn5 was highly expressed in the decidual cells. Silencing of Hmgn5 expression by specific siRNA reduced the proliferation of uterine stromal cells and expression of Ccnd3 and Cdk4 in the absence or presence of estrogen and progesterone, whereas overexpression of Hmgn5 exhibited the opposite effects.

In the uterine stromal cells, cAMP analog 8-Br-cAMP and progesterone could up-regulate the expression of Hmgn5, but the up-regulation was impeded by H89 and RU486, respectively. Attenuation of Hmgn5 expression could block the differentiation of uterine stromal cells in response to cAMP and progesterone. Further studies found that regulation of cAMP and progesterone on Hmgn5 expression was mediated by Hoxa10. During in vitro decidualization, knockdown of Hmgn5 could abrogate Hoxa10-induced upregulation of Prl8a2 and Prl3c1, while overexpression of Hmgn5 reversed the inhibitory effects of Hoxa10 siRNA on the expression of Prl8a2 and Prl3c1. In the stromal cells undergoing decidualization, Hmgn5 might act downstream of Hoxa10 to regulate the expression of Cox-2, Vegf and Mmp2. Collectively, Hmgn5 may play an important role during mouse decidualization.

Abstract
Although Hmgn3 is involved in the regulation of development and cellular differentiation, its physiological roles on decidualization are still unknown. Here we showed that Hmgn3 was highly expressed in the decidua and decidualizing stromal cells. Overexpression of Hmgn3 variants, Hmgn3a or Hmgn3b, enhanced the expression of decidualization markers Prl8a2 and Prl3c1, whereas inhibition of Hmgn3 reduced their expression. Hmgn3 could mediate the effects of Hoxa10 and cAMP on the expression of Prl8a2 and Prl3c1. Further study found that Hmgn3 directed the process of decidualization through influencing the expression of Hand2. Progesterone could induce the expression of Hmgn3 in the ovariectomized mouse uterus, uterine epithelial cells and stromal cells. Knockdown of Hoxa10 with siRNA alleviated the induction of progesterone and cAMP on Hmgn3 expression. Simultaneously, siRNA-mediated down-regulation of Hmgn3 in the uterine stromal cells could attenuate the effects of progesterone, cAMP and Hoxa10 on the expression of Hand2. Collectively, Hmgn3 may play an important role during mouse decidualization.
