"Chromohysteroscopy" for evaluation of endometrium in recurrent in vitro fertilization failure.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of chromohysteroscopy in detecting endometrial pathologies in recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-four patients in whom conventional hysteroscopy did not show any apparent endometrial pathology were included. Five milliliter of 1% methylene blue dye was introduced through the hysteroscopic inlet. Biopsies were obtained both from dark stained and light stained areas. RESULTS: The study group was grouped according to the staining characteristics. Group I included 22 patients in whom focal dark staining was observed. Group II included 41 patients in whom diffuse light blue staining without dark areas was observed. There was no significant difference between two groups in age, smoking, body mass index, number of IVF failure and time to hysteroscopy after the last failure. But, there was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of endometritis between two groups (p=0.007). The power of dark staining for detection of endometritis was calculated as follows: sensitivity 69.2%, specificity 74%, positive predictive value 40.9% and negative predictive value 90.2%. CONCLUSION: Chromohysteroscopy improves the efficacy of hysteroscopy in recurrent IVF failure. Observation of diffuse light blue staining without dark areas strongly suggests a normal endometrium free of endometritis.

A Novel Assisted Oocyte Activation Method Improves Fertilization in Patients With Recurrent Fertilization Failure.

Project description:Total fertilization failure (TFF) occurs in 1-3% of total intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles and can reoccur in subsequent cycles. Despite the high success rate with the application of assisted oocyte activation (AOA), there is still a small number of couples who cannot obtain fertilized eggs after conventional calcium (Ca2+) ionophores-based ICSI-AOA. Six couples experiencing repeated TFF or low fertilization (<10%) after ICSI and conventional ICSI-AOA were enrolled in this study. Compared with the regular ICSI group and the conventional ICSI-AOA group, the new AOA method, a combination of cycloheximide (CHX) and ionomycin, can significantly increase the fertilization rate from less than 10 up to approximately 50% in most cases. The normal distribution of sperm-related oocyte activation factor phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ1) in the sperms of the cases indicated the absence of an aberrant Ca2+ signaling activation. The results of the whole-embryo aneuploidies analysis indicated that oocytes receiving the novel AOA treatment had the potential to develop into blastocysts with normal karyotypes. Our data demonstrated that CHX combined with ionomycin was able to effectively improve the fertilization rate in the majority of patients suffering from TFF. This novel AOA method had a potential therapeutic effect on those couples experiencing TFF, even after conventional AOA, which may surmount the severe fertilization deficiencies in patients with a repeated low fertilization or TFF.

Transcriptome profiling of human oocytes experiencing recurrent total fertilization failure.

Project description:There exist some patients who face recurrent total fertilization failure during assisted reproduction treatment, but the pathological mechanism underlying is elusive. Here, by using sc-RNA-seq method, the transcriptome profiles of ten abnormally fertilized zygotes were assessed, including five zygotes from one patient with recurrent Poly-PN zygotes, and five zygotes from a patient with pronuclear fusion failure. Four zygotes with three pronuclear (Tri-PN) were collected from four different patients as controls. After that, we identified 951 and 1697 significantly differentially expressed genes (SDEGs) in Poly-PN and PN arrest zygotes, respectively as compared with the control group. KEGG analyses indicated down regulated genes in the Poly-PN group included oocyte meiosis related genes, such as PPP2R1B, YWHAZ, MAD2L1, SPDYC, SKP1 and CDC27, together with genes associated with RNA processing, such as SF3B1, LOC645691, MAGOHB, PHF5A, PRPF18, DDX5, THOC1 and BAT1. In contrast, down regulated genes in the PN arrest group, included cell cycle genes, such as E2F4, DBF4, YWHAB, SKP2, CDC23, SMC3, CDC25A, CCND3, BUB1B, MDM2, CCNA2 and CDC7, together with homologous recombination related genes, such as NBN, XRCC3, SHFM1, RAD54B and RAD51. Thus, our work provides a better understanding of transcriptome profiles underlying RTFF, although it based on a limited number of patients.

Mutational analysis of IZUMO1R in women with fertilization failure and polyspermy after in vitro fertilization.

Project description:PURPOSE:The etiology of fertilization failure and polyspermy during assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains elusive. The aim of this study was to determine whether mutations in the IZUMO1 receptor (IZUMO1R) gene, which is essential for mammalian fertilization, contribute to the pathogenesis of fertilization failure or polyspermy in humans. METHODS:We recruited 215 female subjects with fertilization failure/poor fertilization, 330 females with polyspermy, and 300 matched controls. All subjects underwent IVF treatment. Peripheral blood DNA of cases was extracted and screened for mutations in IZUMO1R gene. RESULTS:Four rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IZUMO1R were identified among specimens from patients with fertilization failure and polyspermy but were absent in the 300 control subjects. These included a missense SNP (rs76779571 in exon 4), which was found in two fertilization failure patients, and a nonsynonymous SNP (rs61742524 in exon 1) and two synonymous SNPs (rs76781645 in exon 1 and rs377369966 in intron 2), which were found among three polyspermy cases. CONCLUSIONS:The variations in IZUMO1R might play a role in the pathogenesis of fertilization failure and polyspermy, and the putative functions and effects of these rare variants require further studies.

Identifying stably expressed housekeeping genes in the endometrium of fertile women, women with recurrent implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages.

Project description:Housekeeping genes (HKG) are presumed to be constitutively expressed throughout tissue types but recent studies have shown they vary with pathophysiology. Often, validation of appropriate HKG is not made. There is no consensus on which HKGs are most stably expressed in endometrial tissue so this study aimed to identify the most stable HKG in the endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent miscarriages (RM). Inclusion criteria were women between 25-45 years (n = 45) suffering recurrent miscarriage (RM), recurrent implantation failure (RIF) or fertile controls. Endometrial biopsies were taken and total RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and PCR was performed using 10 candidate HKG. The genes were arranged in terms of stability and normalisation was determined. Several HKGs not previously tested in endometrial samples were found to be more stable than those previously identified as the most stable. Of these, the 5 most stable HKG (in order of stability) were Prdm4 (PR domain 4) > Ube4a (Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme 4a) > Enox2 (Ecto-NOX Disulfide-Thiol Exchanger 2) > Ube2d2 (Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2D 2) > Actb (Actin beta). We therefore recommend using at least four of the aforementioned HKG for normalisation of endometrial tissues taken from patients with RM and RIF.

Decreased MUC1 in endometrium is an independent receptivity marker in recurrent implantation failure during implantation window.

Project description:It is postulated that women suffered from recurrent implantation failure (RIF) have different endometrial receptivity compared to those who experienced with idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (RM). In this study, expression of common endometrial markers Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF), mucin 1 (MUC1) and integrin ?3 were studied and compared.Fourteen women with RIF, 25 with RM and 20 fertile controls were recruited for endometrial biopsy during implantation window on day LH?+? 7. Spatial and temporal expression of MUC1, LIF and Integrin ?3 were compared using semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry. Association of MUC1, LIF and integrin ?3 expression levels with demographic and clinical characteristics were determined.MUC1 expression in both luminal and glandular epithelium in women with RIF were significantly lower than that in women with RM and fertile controls. There were no differences in LIF and Integrin ?3 expression in endometrial epithelium among three groups. Decreased MUC1 expression were not significantly associated with age, BMI, gravidity, parity, cycle length, progesterone level and previous miscarriage.Deceased expression of MUC1 is an independent marker for endometrial receptivity in RIF women, suggesting MUC1 may contribute to the reproductive failure in RIF women.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of the human endometrium from patients with recurrent implantation failure

Project description:Despite great advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), unexplained recurrent implantation failure (RIF) due to disorder of endometrial receptivity still cannot be effectively avoided. More importantly, cell characteristics and cell communication that regulate endometrial receptivity and differentiation, and its disorders in RIF at the window of implantation (WOI) remain rudimentary. Here we characterized the transcriptomes of four major cells in human endometrium from healthy control and RIF patients at single-cell resolution. We discovered the dynamic change characteristics of four major endometrial fibroblast-like cells with different endometrial receptivity, reported a novel pluripotent endometrial glandular epithelial cell with high levels of progesterone receptor and exosomes, and defined a unique ITGA1+CXCR4+ NK cell for connecting endometrial nonimmune cells and immune cell infiltration at the WOI. Additionally, we developed a systematic repository of cell-cell communication for endometrial differentiation and the opening of endometrial receptivity via the ligand-receptor complexes interactions. Our study provides deeper insights into aberrant molecular and cellular characterizations, and the endometrial microenvironmental disorders of RIF patients that are potentially applicable to improve the etiological diagnosis and therapeutics of unexplained RIF.

Are zona pellucida genes involved in recurrent oocyte lysis observed during in vitro fertilization?

Project description:Complete oocyte lysis in in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a rare event, but one against which we remain helpless. The recurrence of this phenomenon in some women in each of their IVF attempts, regardless of treatment, together with the results of animal experiments led us to investigate the possible involvement of the genes encoding for the glycoproteins constituting the zona pellucida (ZP).Over the last ten years, during which we treated over 500 women each year, three women suffered recurrent oocyte lysis during their IVF attempts in our Centre for Reproductive Biology. For each of these three cases, we sequenced the four genes and promoter sequences encoding the glycoproteins of the ZP. The sequence variations likely to cause a change in protein expression or structure, were investigated in a control group of 35 women who underwent IVF without oocyte lysis and with normal rates of fertilization.We found no mutations in the ZP genes sequenced. Only some polymorphisms present in the control group and in the general population were detected, excluding their specific involvement in the phenotype observed. Thus, although we suspected that complete oocyte lysis was due to a genetic cause, it did not seem possible to directly incriminate the genes encoding the proteins of the ZP in the observed phenotype. Further study of the genes involved in the processing and organization of ZP glycoproteins may allow elucidation of the mechanism underlying recurrent oocyte lysis during in vitro fertilization.
