(B) Western blots of ZBTB16 and ACTIN across hCO development. Each lane contains protein from a pool of three hCOs. (C) Representative images of day 30 baseline hCOs stained for DCX, SOX2, MAP2, ZBTB16, and DAPI. (D) Western blots of ZBTB16 and ACTIN in hCOs treated with 100 nM dex at day 43 and analyzed 7 days later at day 50. Each lane contains protein from a pool of three hCOs, and the six replicates were generated in two independent hCO batches. (E) Quantification of the effect of 100 nM dex over 7 days on ZBTB16 protein expression in day 50 hCOs normalized over ACTIN. (F) Quantification of the effect of 100 nM dex over 7 days on ZBTB16 mRNA levels normalized over endogenous genes and day 40 baseline ZBTB16 expression levels. RT-qPCR, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction; hCOs, human cerebral organoids; Veh, vehicle; Dex, dexamethasone. For (E), signifi- cance was tested with two-tailed Mann-Whitney comparison between treatment and vehicle. For (F), significance was tested with one-way ANOVA with Ben- jamini, Krieger, and Yekutieli multiple testing correction (p = 0.0003). Box and whisker plots represent 25th to 75th percentile of the data with the center line representing the median and whiskers representing minima and maxima. Mann-Whitney p values for (E) or post hoc p values for (F): ****p % 0.0001, ***p % 0.001, **p % 0.01, *p % 0.05, ns p > 0.05. Scale bars, 50 mm. See also Figure S3.

    Figure 6. Schematic demonstration of the role of elevated ZBTB16 expression in the pathogenesis of pLARC-induced AUB. Administration of progestin-only, long-acting, reversible contraception (pLARCs) reduce uterine blood flow, which causes local hypoxia [8,9] and induces HESC decidu- alization, which increases tissue factor [15,23] and ZBTB16 levels. Increased ZBTB16 levels induce excess tissue factor expression, which generates thrombin. The resulting excess thrombin binds to protease-activated receptors (PARs), which increase the expression of several inflammatory factors and angiogenic factors, such as VEGF or IL-8 [19,20,48]. These factors promote excess angiogenesis, which results in abnormal uterine bleeding. pLARC-induced excess ZBTB16 exacerbates thrombin- induced endometrial angiogenesis and inflammation by increasing IL8 and PTGS2 levels in HESCs.

    Figure 6: Schematics of Plzf overexpression and spermatogonia aging. Loss of Plzf exhausts spermatogonia pool by promoting their differentiation at the expense of self-renewal. On the contrary, age-related increase in Plzf expression causes spermatogonia hypermaintenance and aging by preventing their differentiation.
