Multi-Omics Analysis and Machine Learning Prediction Model for Pregnancy Outcomes After Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection–in vitro Fertilization

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the methylation profiles in cumulus cells (CCs) of women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection–in vitro fertilization (ICSI–IVF) and establish a prediction model of pregnancy outcomes using machine learning approaches.

Methods

Methylation data were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were subjected to gene set analyses. Support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and logistic regression (LR) were used to establish the prediction model, and microarray data from GEO was analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the dichotomous outcomes of clinical pregnancy (pregnant vs. non-pregnant). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis provided multi-dimensional validation for selected DMGs.

Results

A total of 338 differentially methylated CpG sites associated with 146 unique genes across the genome were identified. Among the identified pathways, the prominent ones were involved in the regulation of cell growth and oocyte development (hsa04340, hsa04012, hsa04914, hsa04614, hsa04913, hsa04020, and hsa00510). The area under the curve (AUC) of machine learning classifiers was 0.94 (SVM) vs. 0.88 (RF) vs. 0.97 (LR). 196 DEGs were found in transcriptional microarray. Mapped genes were selected through overlapping enriched pathways in transcriptional profiles and methylated data of CCs, predictive of successful pregnancy.

Conclusions

Methylated profiles of CCs were significantly different between women receiving ICSI-IVF procedures that conceived successfully and those that did not conceive. Machine learning approaches are powerful tools that may provide crucial information for prognostic assessment. Pathway analysis may be another way in multiomics analysis of cumulus cells.

Project description:IntroductionThis meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) on pregnancy outcomes in thrombophilic women receiving in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).Material and methodsA systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing LMWH with no treatment or placebo published from database inception until February 19, 2023. Primary outcomes were the clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate, and secondary outcomes were the live birth rate, miscarriage rate, and the risk of bleeding events. The certainty of the evidence was rated using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) system. Meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 14.0.ResultsFive RCTs involving 1094 thrombophilic women receiving IVF/ICSI were finally included. Administration of LMWH was associated with statistically higher clinical pregnancy rate (4 RCTs, risk ratio [RR] 1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.82, p < 0.001, low certainty evidence), implantation rate (5 RCTs, RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.25-1.78, p < 0.001, very low certainty evidence), and live birth rate (2 RCTs, RR 2.15, 95% CI 1.60-2.89, p < 0.001, very low certainty evidence), but with statistically lower miscarriage rate (2 RCTs, RR 0.36, 95% CI 0.15-0.86, p = 0.021, very low certainty evidence). However, using LMWH was linked to a higher risk of bleeding events (2 RCTs, RR 2.36, 95% CI 1.49-3.74, p < 0.001, very low certainty evidence).ConclusionsVery low certainty evidence suggests that administration of LMWH may benefit pregnancy outcomes in thrombophilic women receiving IVF/ICSI treatment, although it may also increase the risk of bleeding events. However, before putting our findings into practice, healthcare professionals should conduct an in-depth evaluation of the available evidence and specific patient situations. Furthermore, due to the low methodological quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to validate our findings in the future.

Project description:Introduction To investigate whether rescue in vitro maturation (R-IVM) improves the reproductive outcomes among women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after one oocyte retrieved cycle. Methods Between January 2019 and December 2020, 2602 women who underwent ICSI in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China, were included in our retrospective cohort study. There were 2112 women undergoing only ICSI and 490 women with R-IVM followed by ICSI. The intermediate reproductive outcomes and pregnancy outcomes were assessed, including the number of normally fertilized embryos, number of cleaved embryos, number of good-quality embryos, number of day-3 available embryos, number of embryos cultured past day-3, number of blastocysts, number of available blastocysts, biochemical pregnancy, miscarriage, clinical pregnancy and live birth. The perinatal outcomes were also assessed, including preterm birth and birth weight. The abovementioned outcomes were also calculated for in vivo matured and R-IVM oocytes separately in women undergoing ICSI with R-IVM group. Result(s) Compared with the women who underwent only ICSI, those who underwent ICSI with R-IVM had higher numbers of MII oocytes, normally fertilized embryos, cleaved embryos, day-3 available embryos, embryos cultured past day-3, and higher oocyte maturation rate, available embryo rate than women undergoing only ICSI. Additionally, we found that women undergoing ICSI with R-IVM had an increased chance of clinical pregnancy (adjusted OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.17–1.93) and cumulative live birth (adjusted OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.07–1.71). After propensity score matching (PSM), the cumulative live birth rate was 60.1% for women undergoing ICSI with R-IVM versus 54.9% for women undergoing only ICSI (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 0.94–1.63). The reproductive outcomes were also significantly different when calculated for in vivo matured and R-IVM oocytes separately in women undergoing ICSI with R-IVM group. All live births from R-IVM embryos were healthy and without malformations or complications. Conclusion R-IVM may improve the reproductive outcomes of women undergoing ICSI. It may also provide a reference for the safety of R-IVM. This study maybe support a routine application of R-IVM among patients who intend to undergo ICSI.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin on pregnancy outcomes in women without thrombophilia during in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane and CNKI (from inception to 2 February 2018). Our study identified randomized controlled trials or quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing low-molecular-weight heparin subcutaneous treatment with no treatment or only luteal support control. The outcomes included live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate. RESULTS:Five trials, including 935 women receiving in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment, were included in meta-analyses. There were 458 women receiving low-molecular-weight heparin and 477 in the control group. No significant differences for live birth rate, clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate were found between the low-molecular-weight heparin and control groups. Of them, four trials reported live birth rate as an outcome and the risk ratio was 1.13 (95% confidence interval 0.88-1.43, p = 0.34). All five trials reported clinical pregnancy rate as an outcome, the risk ratio was 1.08 (95% confidence interval 0.87-1.32, p = 0.47). Three trials reported miscarriage rate and the risk ratio was 0.58 (95% confidence interval 0.30-1.10, p = 0.09). In women with two or more failed in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles, the risk ratio of live birth rate was 1.15 and the risk ratio of clinical pregnancy rate was 1.17. In women with three or more failed in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles, the risk ratios of live birth rate and clinical pregnancy rate were 1.36 and 1.35, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggested that low-molecular-weight heparin had no effect on pregnancy success rate in non-thrombophilic women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment. However, to justify the use of low-molecular-weight heparin in clinical practice, multicenter trials are still necessary.
