Effective therapeutic strategies that preserve the uterus and maintain fertility are still lacking. Fisetin (FIS), a naturally occurring dietary flavonoid, exhibits antitumor, anti\u2010inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties, yet its therapeutic potential in UL remains incompletely defined. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of fisetin on UL and the possible underlying mechanisms. UL was experimentally induced in adult female rats by monosodium glutamate (MSG), and animals were assigned to Control, FIS, UL, and UL\u2009+\u2009FIS groups. Blood and tissue samples were subjected to hormonal, biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical assessments. Serum estradiol, progesterone, and S1P levels were measured using ELISA, while qPCR quantified the expression of key signaling molecules, including SphK1, TGF\u2010\u03b21, HMGB1, TNF\u2010\u03b1, and IL\u20101\u03b2. Immunohistochemistry assessed TGF\u2010\u03b21 and \u03b1\u2010SMA expressions, and histopathology (H&amp;E and Masson's Trichrome stains) evaluated tissue architecture and fibrosis. The results showed that fisetin administration significantly reduced the elevated sex hormones, inhibited S1P signaling, and suppressed proinflammatory mediators (HMGB1, TNF\u2010\u03b1, IL\u20101\u03b2) and profibrotic mediators (TGF\u2010\u03b21, \u03b1\u2010SMA). Histopathological evaluation confirmed decreased fibrotic remodeling and improved tissue architecture. Overall, these results suggest that fisetin's effect may involve coordinated modulation of the S1P\/SphK1, TGF\u2010\u03b2, and HMGB1 axes, highlighting its potential as a novel uterus\u2010preserving therapeutic agent for UL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jbt.71105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T13:05:11Z","timestamp":1788181511000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fisetin Attenuates Uterine Leiomyoma in Rats: Potential Crosstalk Between HMGB1, SphK1\/S1P, and TGF\u2010\u03b2 Signaling"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8631-9543","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nashwa","family":"Maghraby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine Assiut University Assiut Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Basic Medical Sciences Badr University of Assiut (BUA) New Nasser City Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4644-7869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esraa","family":"Khalaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine Assiut University Assiut Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8561-8501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marwa T.","family":"Hussien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncologic Pathology, South Egypt Cancer Institute Assiut University Assiut Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2359-2729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed M.
