Résumé

In recent years, the matrisome, a set of proteins that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM) or are closely involved in ECM behavior, has been shown to have great importance for characterizing and understanding disease pathogenesis and progression. The matrisome is especially critical for examining diseases characterized by extensive tissue remodeling. Endometriosis is characterized by the extrauterine growth of endometrial tissue, making it an ideal condition to study through the lens of matrisome gene expression. While large gene expression datasets have become more available and gene dysregulation in endometriosis has been the target of several studies, the gene expression profile of the matrisome specifically in endometriosis has not been well characterized. In our study, we explored four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) DNA microarray datasets containing eutopic endometrium of people with and without endometriosis. After batch correction, menstrual cycle phase accounted for 53% of variance and disease accounted for 23%; thus, the data were separated by menstrual cycle phase before performing differential expression analysis, statistical and machine learning modeling, and enrichment analysis. We established that matrisome gene expression alone can effectively differentiate endometriosis samples from healthy ones, demonstrating the potential of matrisome gene expression for diagnostic applications. Furthermore, we identified specific matrisome genes and gene networks whose expression can distinguish endometriosis stages I/II from III/IV. Taken together, these findings may aid in developing future in vitro models of disease, offer insights into novel treatment strategies, and advance diagnostic tools for this underserved patient population.
