High density lipoproteins (HDL) are the main cholesterol carriers in follicular fluid (FF), the natural environment of oocyte development. Additionally, HDL have critical biological functions such as anti-oxidative capacity, which have not been studied in reproduction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether the anti-oxidative function of FF-HDL is associated with fertility outcomes. From 253 women undergoing modified natural cycle (MNC)- IVF at a single academic centre FF and plasma ...[more]

Project description:Encapsulated microRNAs (i.e., miRNAs within the extracellular vesicles, i.e., EV-miRNAs) have been detected in follicular fluid in both animal and human studies and different profiles have been associated with IVF cycle characteristics. However, limited studies to date have investigated other IVF outcomes, including fertilization status and embryo quality on day three". In this cohort, we performed a cross-sectional analysis on 126 women who contributed follicular fluid from a single follicle during a single IVF cycle. One hundred and ninety-two EV-miRNAs were assessed by univariable fold-change and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Hsa-miR-92a and hsa-miR-130b, were over-expressed in follicular fluid samples from oocytes that failed to fertilize compared to those that were normally fertilized. Additionally, hsa-miR-888 was over-expressed and hsa-miR-214 and hsa-miR-454 were under-expressed in samples that resulted in impaired day-3 embryo quality compared to top-quality day-3 embryos. After adjusting for confounders as BMI, smoking and total motile sperm, associations of these EV-miRNAs remained significant. In-silico KEGG pathway analyses assigned the identified EV-miRNAs to pathways of follicular growth and development, cellular signaling, oocyte meiosis, and ovarian function. Our findings suggest that EV-miRNAs may play a role in pathways of ovarian function and follicle development, which could be essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms that could lead to a successful pregnancy and birth.

Project description:Our previous study reported microorganisms in human follicular fluid. The objective of this study was to test human follicular fluid for the presence of microorganisms and to correlate these findings with the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In this study, 263 paired follicular fluids and vaginal swabs were collected from women undergoing IVF cycles, with various causes for infertility, and were cultured to detect microorganisms. The cause of infertility and the IVF outcomes for each woman were correlated with the microorganisms detected within follicular fluid collected at the time of trans-vaginal oocyte retrieval. Microorganisms isolated from follicular fluids were classified as: (1) 'colonizers' if microorganisms were detected within the follicular fluid, but not within the vaginal swab (at the time of oocyte retrieval); or (2) 'contaminants' if microorganisms detected in the vagina at the time of oocyte retrieval were also detected within the follicular fluid. The presence of Lactobacillus spp. in ovarian follicular fluids was associated with embryo maturation and transfer. This study revealed microorganisms in follicular fluid itself and that the presence of particular microorganisms has an adverse affect on IVF outcomes as seen by an overall decrease in embryo transfer rates and pregnancy rates in both fertile and infertile women, and live birth rates in women with idiopathic infertility. Follicular fluid microorganisms are a potential cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes in IVF in both infertile women and in fertile women with infertile male partners.

Project description:A hypothesis-generating pilot study exploring associations between essential trace elements measured in follicular fluid (FF) and urine and in vitro fertilization (IVF) endpoints.We recruited 58 women undergoing IVF between 2007 and 2008, and measured cobalt, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc in FF (n?=?46) and urine (n?=?45) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). We used multivariable regression models to assess the impact of FF and urine trace elements on IVF outcomes, adjusted for age, body mass index, race, and cigarette smoking.Trace elements were mostly present at lower concentrations in FF than in urine. The average number of oocytes retrieved was positively associated with higher urine cobalt, chromium, copper, and molybdenum concentrations. FF chromium and manganese were negatively associated with the proportion of mature oocytes, yet urine manganese had a positive association. FF zinc was inversely associated with average oocyte fertilization. Urine trace elements were significant positive predictors for the total number of embryos generated. FF copper predicted lower embryo fragmentation while urine copper was associated with higher embryo cell number and urine manganese with higher embryo fragmentation. No associations were detected for implantation, pregnancy, or live birth.Our results suggest the importance of trace elements in both FF and urine for intermediate, although not necessarily clinical, IVF endpoints. The results differed using FF or urine biomarkers of exposure, which may have implications for the design of clinical and epidemiologic investigations. These initial findings will form the basis of a more definitive future study.

Project description:As infertility became a significant public health problem, assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) were introduced. However, the fertilization rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) per cycle varied, and patients needed to repeat IVF or change to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Here, 75 couples suffering from female fallopian tubal blockage (tubal group) and 42 spouses beset by male abnormal sperm status (dysspermia group) were recruited. We comprehensively explored the relationship among couples' clinical factors, follicular metabolites, and IVF/ICSI stepwise outcomes. IVF/ICSI outcomes were affected by follicular metabolites and physical status in both women and men, regardless of which side infertility came from. Particularly, in the tubal group, the energy supporting pathways-glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism-were most essential in follicles, and IVF/ICSI outcomes were also related to sperm parameters. However, in the dysspermia group, in addition to sperm conditions, oocyte quality acted as a compensation for poor sperm quality, for which aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and the related supporting metabolism were critical in the follicular environment, and ultimately played a decisive role in IVF/ICSI outcomes. The respective logistic regression models in combination with selective male sperm parameters, estradiol (E2), follicular alanine, glutamine, glycoprotein, lipid, and acetic acid, were constructed to predict IVF or ICSI outcomes. No matter which sex infertility comes from, factors from both men and women should be considered. The current study provides a feasible option for pre-IVF evaluation, as well as guidance for follow-up clinical intervention to improve IVF/ICSI success rates.

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder that leads to lower natural reproductive potential and presents a challenge for assisted reproductive medicine because patients may exhibit immature oocyte retrieval and a higher risk of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. This study aimed to identify potential lipid biomarkers for women with PCOS and a hyper response to controlled ovarian stimulation.Follicular fluid samples were collected from patients who underwent IVF, including normal responder women who became pregnant (control group, n?=?11), women with PCOS and a hyper response to gonadotropins (PCOS group, n?=?7) and women with only hyper response to gonadotropins (HR group, n?=?7). A lipidomic analysis was performed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and candidate biomarkers were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry experiment.The lipid profiles indicated particularities related to differences in phosphatidylcholine (PCOS and HR), phosphatidylserine, phosphatydilinositol and phosphatidylglycerol (control), sphingolipids (PCOS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (control and HR).These findings contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with lipid metabolism in the PCOS-related hyper response, and strongly suggest that these lipids may be useful as biomarkers, leading to the development of more individualized treatment for pregnancy outcome.

Project description:Are perinatal outcomes improved in singleton pregnancies resulting from fresh embryo transfers performed following unstimulated/natural cycle IVF (NCIVF) compared with stimulated IVF?Infants conceived by unstimulated/NCIVF have a lower risk of being low birthweight than infants conceived by stimulated IVF; however, this risk did not remain significant after adjusting for gestation age.Previous studies have shown that infants born after modified NCIVF have a higher average birthweight and are less likely to be low birthweight than those infants conceived with conventional stimulated IVF.Retrospective cohort study of singleton live births in non-smoking women undergoing fresh IVF-embryo transfer cycles from 2007 to 2013 in a single IVF center. The women were stratified by stimulated (n = 174) or unstimulated (n = 190) IVF exposure status. Unstimulated/NCIVF is defined as IVF without the use of exogenous gonadotrophins, and only includes the use of HCG to time oocyte retrieval.Demographic data including maternal age, BMI, infertility diagnosis and IVF cycle characteristics were collected. The perinatal outcomes used for comparison between the two study groups were length of gestation, birthweight, preterm delivery, very preterm delivery, low birthweight, small for gestational age and large for gestational age.Although women in the NCIVF group were older than those in the stimulated group (35.0 versus 34.2 years, P < 0.05), parity and history of prior ART cycles were comparable between the groups. The mean birthweight was significantly higher in the NCIVF group by 163 g than in the stimulated group (3436 ± 420 g versus 3273 ± 574 g, P < 0.05). Consistent with this finding, there were also less low birthweight (<2500 g) infants in the NCIVF group versus stimulated group (1 versus 8.6%, P < 0.005). The reduction in risk for low birthweight in the NCIVF group remained significant after adjustment for maternal age, infertility diagnosis, ICSI, number of embryos transferred and blastocyst transfer (odds ratio (OR) 0.07; 95% CI 0.014-0.35). As NCIVF group had less preterm infants, additional adjustment for gestational age was performed and this showed a tendency towards lower risk of low birthweight in NCIVF (OR 0.11; 95% CI 0.01-1.0). While gestational age at delivery was comparable between the groups, both preterm births (<37 weeks gestation) (31 versus 42%, P < 0.05) and very preterm births (<32 weeks gestation) (0.52 versus 6.3%, P < 0.005) were significantly reduced in the NCIVF group. However, after adjustment for potential confounders, the reduction in risk of preterm and very preterm delivery associated with the NCIVF group was no longer significant (OR 1.1; 95% CI 0.48-2.5).Limitations of this study are the retrospective nature of the data collection and the lack of information about parental characteristics associated with birthweight.The improved perinatal outcomes following successful unstimulated/NCIVF suggest that this treatment should be considered as a viable option for infertile couples. NCIVF could reduce potential adverse perinatal outcomes such as low birthweight related to fresh embryo transfers performed following ovarian stimulation. The etiology of the improved perinatal outcomes following NCIVF needs to be explored further to determine if the improvement is derived from endometrial factors versus follicular/oocyte factors.The study was supported by the following grants from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NICHD K12HD047018 (W.M.), NICHD K12HD001271 (L.A.K.).

Project description:BACKGROUND: It has become increasingly clear that the follicular microenvironment of the maturing human oocyte is a determining factor for the implantation potential of an embryo deriving from that oocyte. Indeed the quality and maturity of an oocyte are influenced by the level of intrafollicular oxygen content which, in turn, is proportional to the degree of follicular vascularity. The aim of the study was to establish whether there is a relationship between follicular fluid VEGF concentrations, perifollicular vascularity and reproductive outcome in normal responders under the age of 35 undergoing IVF. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-one consecutive patients, all at their first IVF cycle, were included in the study. All patients had primary infertility due to male factor or tubal factor. At oocyte retrieval, the perifollicular vascularity of two follicles per ovary was estimated qualitatively through power Doppler blood flow, for a total of two hundred forty-four follicles. The follicular fluid from the identified follicles was centrifuged and stored until VEGF assay. The maturity and fertilization rate of the corresponding oocytes as well as embryo quality and pregnancy rate were recorded. RESULTS: In our study, we found VEGF levels to be significantly correlated with grade of perifollicular vascularity. Oocytes obtained from follicles with the higher grade of vascularization also showed a higher rate of fertilization, embryos, a better quality and higher pregnancy rates were obtained in women with highly vascularized follicles. Perifollicular blood flow doppler indices seem to predict oocyte viability and quality. Moreover, VEGF may play a potential role in the development of the perifollicular capillary network. DISCUSSION: The ability of a given follicle to express VEGF and develop an adequate vascular network may be inter-related in patients under the age of 35. An adequate blood supply may be fundamental important in the regulation of intrafollicular oxygen levels and the determination of oocyte quality.

Project description:STUDY QUESTION:Are there any differences in live birth rates (LBR) following fresh blastocyst transfer in natural or clomiphene-stimulated cycles, or after elective blastocyst freezing in clomiphene-stimulated cycles followed by thawing and transfer at different time-points? SUMMARY ANSWER:Clomiphene citrate (CC) administration adversely affected the LBR after single fresh blastocyst transfer (SBT) in CC cycles compared with that in natural cycles, while this adverse effect of CC is not present when a single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer (SVBT) is performed in subsequent natural ovulatory cycles, regardless of the duration between CC administration and the day of SVBT. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY:CC affects uterine receptivity associated with a thinning of the uterine endometrium through an antioestrogenic effect. However, the duration that this adverse effect of CC on uterine endometrium persists after initial use is still unknown. STUDY DESIGN SIZE DURATION:A retrospective cohort study of 157 natural cycle IVFs followed by SBT and 1496 minimal ovarian stimulation with CC IVF cycles followed by SBT (n = 24) or SVBT (n = 1472) from January 2010 to December 2014 was conducted. SVBT cycles were classified into two groups according to the period between the last day of CC administration and the day of SVBT (A: ≤60 d and B: ≥61 d). All groups were then compared based on pregnancy outcomes (natural-SBT group: n = 157, CC-SBT group: n = 24, SVBT-A: n = 1143, SVBT-B: n = 329). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS SETTING METHODS:Women were aged 30-39 years at oocyte retrieval. In SVBT cycles, blastocysts were vitrified and warmed using a Cryotop safety kit. SVBT was performed in subsequent natural ovulatory cycles. The main outcomes were LBR and neonatal outcome, and both were compared among the groups. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE:The LBR in the CC-SBT group (29.2%, 7/24) was significantly lower compared with the natural-SBT (56.1%, 88/157) (P = 0.01) and SVBT-A (50.0%, 572/1143) (P = 0.04), but not SVBT-B (47.4%, 156/329), groups. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the LBR was comparable among the natural-SBT and SVBT groups, but was significantly lower in the CC-SBT group (adjusted odds ratio: 0.324, 95% CI: 0.119-0.800, P = 0.01). No significant differences among all groups were observed for gestational age (P = 0.19), birthweight (P = 0.41) and incidence of malformation (P = 0.53). LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION:In this study we analysed a biased sample, based on clinical judgement regarding endometrial thickness, and the study was limited by its retrospective nature. The low statistical power caused by the group size disparity was also a limitation, especially in the CC-SBT group. Although the outcome showing inferiority of CC-SBT compared to natural-SBT is consistent with general findings in the literature, further large-scale clinical studies, ideally RCTs, are necessary to validate our results and clarify the prolonged effect of CC in SVBT cycles on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS:Our observation suggests that CC administered in minimal ovarian stimulation cycles affects adversely the pregnancy outcomes when SBT is performed. Therefore, for a CC-based minimal stimulation IVF cycle, we suggest that frozen embryo transfer should be performed in a subsequent natural ovulatory cycle to avoid the possibility of implantation failure associated with CC administration.

Project description:The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the thyroid autoantibodies on the protein expression in follicular fluid and the clinical outcome of assisted reproductive technology. A total of 602 patients treated for infertility were screened; 49 euthyroid women who were positive for thyroid autoantibodies and 63 negative controls were recruited. Follicular fluid samples were analyzed using proteomics. Validation of target proteins in follicular fluid was performed by using parallel reaction monitoring. Differentially expressed proteins in follicular fluid, clinical pregnancy rate, abortion rate, and live-birth rate were analyzed. Clinical pregnancy rates and take-home baby rates in the thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) group were less than in the control group, but abortion rates in the TAI group were higher than in the control group (all P < 0.005). A total of 49 proteins were differentially expressed in the TAI-positive group. In Gene Ontology secondary annotations of all the proteins identified, five types of proteins were associated with the reproductive process. Among 11 proteins quantitatively identified by parallel reaction monitoring, angiotensinogen and fetuin-B were associated with reproduction. These differentially expressed proteins identified in this study involved multiple pathways according to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis. Our study provides evidence that some differentially expressed proteins between TAI-positive women and controls were associated with the reproductive process and closely related to important physiologic effects, which could partially explain the underlying mechanism link between TAI and the adverse outcomes of assisted reproductive technology.

Project description:Study questionAre follicular fluid (FF), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) concentrations associated with IVF outcomes among women undergoing IVF?Summary answerThere was a non-linear association between higher FF Hg concentration and a lower likelihood of biochemical pregnancy and live birth. Higher FF Pb concentration was also associated with a lower probability of live birth.What is known alreadyPrevious research suggests that toxic elements may affect fertility among couples conceiving with and without assistance. However, the results have been inconsistent, possibly related in part to exposure misclassification. Very few studies have used ovarian FF to measure toxic elements, as it requires an invasive collection procedure, yet it may offer a more accurate estimate of a biologically effective dose than blood or urine.Study design size durationThis is a prospective study of 56 women undergoing IVF, from October 2015 to June 2017. FF was collected for analysis on the day of oocyte retrieval.Participants/materials setting methodsAs, Cd, Hg and Pb were determined in 197 FF specimens, using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry. FF glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, total glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, arylesterase and paraoxonase (PON1p) activities were measured using kinetic enzyme assays.Main results and the role of chanceNon-linear associations were detected, in which the probabilities of biochemical pregnancy (P = 0.05) and live birth (P = 0.05) were lower in association with FF Hg greater than ∼0.51 µg/l Hg, adjusted for age, race, cigarette smoking and recent seafood consumption. Higher FF Pb was also associated with a lower likelihood of live birth (relative risk (RR) = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.46, 1.00; P = 0.05). We also found a suggestive, although imprecise, antagonizing mediating effect of PON1p activity on the association between FF Pb and live birth (-28.3%; 95% CI: -358%, 270%).Limitations reasons for cautionThe results should be interpreted judiciously given the limited sample size and difficulty accounting for correlated data in generalized additive models and mediation analyses. Additionally, women undergoing IVF are highly selected with respect to age and socioeconomic status, and so the generalizability of the results may be limited.Wider implications of the findingsOverall, the results suggest that FF Hg was associated with a lower likelihood of biochemical pregnancy and live birth, with a potential threshold effect, and that higher FF Pb was associated with a lower probability of live birth. These results may help to guide clinical recommendations for limiting the exposure of patients to Hg and Pb and ultimately improve IVF success rates.Study funding/competing interestsThis work was funded in part by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), grant number 1R56ES023886-01, to the University at Albany (M.S.B.), and in part by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), grant number 1U2CES026542-01, to the Wadsworth Center (P.J.P.).
