Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and infertility are the common characteristics of endometriosis. Macrophages and related inflammation play important roles in endometriosis pain. TRPV1 and TRPA1 form a heteromeric channel which is related to endometriosis pain. In the present study, the inflammation-mediated macrophage polarization along with TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers in endometriosis was investigated and . Macrophage polarization and TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers in endometriosis tissue of patients were assayed, and was further investigated in endometriosis mice by co-culturing macrophages derived from mice in different groups with human endometrium cells. Our results indicated that macrophage polarization, as CD86 and CD206 positive macrophages, were accompanied by TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers in endometriosis tissues of patients with pain. Inflammatory factors in peritoneal lavage fluid and serum of mice were correlated with TRPV1/TRPA1 expression in endometriosis tissues of mice as well as macrophage polarization which tended to be consistent with TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers in endometriosis tissue. Moreover, macrophage polarization in enterocoelia induced ectopic endometrial cells migration with the increase in TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers. Our results suggest that endometriosis-induced celiac inflammation might mediate macrophage polarization along with the increase of TRPV1/TRPA1 heteromers, which may play a key role in endometriosis pain.
慢性盆腔疼痛(CPP)和不孕是子宫内膜异位症的常见特征。巨噬细胞及相关炎症在子宫内膜异位症疼痛中起重要作用。TRPV1和TRPA1形成一种与子宫内膜异位症疼痛相关的异源通道。在本研究中,对炎症介导的巨噬细胞极化以及子宫内膜异位症中TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体进行了研究。检测了患者子宫内膜异位症组织中的巨噬细胞极化和TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体,并通过将不同组小鼠来源的巨噬细胞与人子宫内膜细胞共培养,在子宫内膜异位症小鼠中进一步研究。我们的结果表明,在有疼痛的患者子宫内膜异位症组织中,作为CD86和CD206阳性巨噬细胞的巨噬细胞极化与TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体同时存在。小鼠腹腔灌洗液和血清中的炎症因子与小鼠子宫内膜异位症组织中TRPV1/TRPA1的表达以及巨噬细胞极化相关,而巨噬细胞极化倾向于与子宫内膜异位症组织中的TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体一致。此外,腹腔内巨噬细胞极化随着TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体的增加诱导异位子宫内膜细胞迁移。我们的结果表明,子宫内膜异位症诱导的腹腔炎症可能介导巨噬细胞极化以及TRPV1/TRPA1异聚体的增加,这可能在子宫内膜异位症疼痛中起关键作用。
