چکیده

Gestation and delivery can increase intra-abdominal pressure, which are well-known risk factors for Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). But the pathogenesis mechanism of POP remains unclear. Our previous research showed that the expression of glutathione peroxidase type 1 (GPX1) decreased in pelvic floor ligaments from POP patients, implying that oxidative stress (OS) may be related to POP. The aim of this study was to figure out the role of GPx1 regulation in the pathogenesis of POP. Women (>45 years) who received hysterectomy surgery were enrolled in this research, identified by screening. We applied mechanical strain of 0μ, 5333 μ to GPX1-overexpressing human uterosacral ligament fibroblasts (hUSLFs) isolated from menopausal women without POP respectively for 4 hours, in order to investigate the changes of cell apoptosis, oxidative status and ECM metabolism when cytomechanics model loaded on GPX1-overexpressing hUSLFs. Comparing with the non-transfection and mock-vehicle groups, we found that GPX1 not only protects hUSLFs from cell apoptosis, oxidative damage, but also improves the remodeling of ECM induced by mechanical stimulation. These results suggested that mechanical strain caused abnormalities of ECM metabolism via OS pathway in hUSLFs, which was involved in the pathogenesis of POP, and that GPx1 played a significant role in regulating mechanical strain induced POP.

Prolapse worsens with age, doesn't it?

BACKGROUND Female pelvic organ prolapse is common and generally thought to worsen over time. This assumption has recently become less plausible, as the author and others have been able to show that mild to moderate pelvic organ descent is common in young, nulligravid women. AIMS To investigate the relationship between age and pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS The records of 1110 women seen for...
