A key metabolic change that occurs during the peri-implantation period, and throughout early pregnancy, is the rise in endometrial glycogen content. Glycogen accumulation requires prior cellular uptake of glucose. Here we show that both human and murine endometrial epithelial cells express the high affinity Na\(^+\)-coupled glucose carrier SGLT1. Ussing chamber experiments revealed electrogenic glucose transport across the endometrium in wild type (\(Slc5a1^{+/+}\)) but not in SGLT1 defcient (\(Slc5a1^{-/-}\)) mice. Endometrial glycogen content, litter size and weight of offspring at birth were signifcantly lower in \(Slc5a1^{-/-}\) mice. In humans, \(SLC5A1\) expression was upregulated upon decidualization of primary endometrial stromal cells. Endometrial \(SLC5A1\) expression during the implantation window was attenuated in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss when compared with control subjects. Our fndings reveal a novel mechanism establishing adequate endometrial glycogen stores for pregnancy. Disruption of this histiotrophic pathway leads to adverse pregnancy outcome.}, language = {en} } @article{HartmannPluetschowMottoketal.2019, author = {Hartmann, Sylvia and Pl{\"u}tschow, Annette and Mottok, Anja and Bernd, Heinz-Wolfram and Feller, Alfred C. and Ott, German and Cogliatti, Sergio and Fend, Falko and Quintanilla-Martinez, Leticia and Stein, Harald and Klapper, Wolfram and M{\"o}ller, Peter and Rosenwald, Andreas and Engert, Andreas and Hansmann, Martin-Leo and Eichenauer, Dennis A.}, title = {The time to relapse correlates with the histopathological growth pattern in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma}, series = {American Journal of Hematology}, volume = {94}, journal = {American Journal of Hematology}, number = {11}, doi = {10.1002/ajh.25607}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-212594}, pages = {1208 -- 1213}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) can present with different histopathological growth patterns. The impact of these histopathological growth patterns on relapse characteristics is unknown. We therefore analyzed paired biopsies obtained at initial diagnosis and relapse from 33 NLPHL patients who had received first-line treatment within German Hodgkin Study Group (GHSG) trial protocols, and from a second cohort of 41 relapsed NLPHL patients who had been treated outside GHSG studies. Among the 33 GHSG patients, 21 patients presented with a typical growth pattern at initial diagnosis, whereas 12 patients had a variant histology. The histopathological growth patterns at initial diagnosis and at relapse were consistent in 67\% of cases. A variant histology at initial diagnosis was associated with a shorter median time to lymphoma recurrence (2.8 vs 5.2 years; P = .0219). A similar tendency towards a shorter median time to lymphoma recurrence was observed for patients presenting with a variant histology at relapse, irrespective of the growth pattern at initial diagnosis. Results obtained from the 41 NLPHL patients who had been treated outside GHSG studies were comparable (median time to lymphoma recurrence for variant histology vs typical growth pattern at initial diagnosis: 1.5 vs 7.0 years). In conclusion, the histopathological growth pattern remains consistent at relapse in the majority of NLPHL cases, and has major impact on the time of relapse.}, language = {en} }
