To understand the underlying paracrine mechanism, here we conduct transcriptomic analysis of 1,898 endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) exposed and unexposed to PAI-1-secreting adipose stromal cells. The PAI-1-dependent action deregulates crosstalk among tumor-promoting and -repressing pathways, including TGF\u03b2. When PAI-1 is tethered to LRP1, the internalized signaling causes downregulation of SMAD4 at the transcriptional and post-translational levels that attenuate TGF\u03b2-related transcription programs. Repression of genes encoding junction and adhesion complex preferentially occurs in SMAD4-underexpressed EECs of obese patients. The findings highlight a previously uncharacterized role of PAI-1 signaling that renders ineffective intercellular communication for the development of adiposity-associated endometrial cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Li-Ling Lin, Edward R.
