Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying unexplained recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remain unclear. This study aimed at identifying potential biomarkers, exploring relevant signaling pathways, and analyzing the contribution of immune cell infiltration in RIF. Microarray expression datasets were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to perform bioinformatic analyses. The results showed that ten hub genes may predict RIF with high specificity and sensitivity (area under the curve = 1.000). Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed close interactions between the hub genes and the endometrial receptivity array. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction further validated three potential biomarkers (RAB32, TRIB2, and FAM155B). Functional enrichment analyses indicated that immune pathways were significantly downregulated and lipid metabolism pathways were significantly upregulated in RIF compared with the controls. Significant negative correlations were observed between fatty acid biosynthesis and the immune pathways. Immune cell infiltration, including those in CD56dim natural killer, dendritic, Th1, Th2, and regulatory T cells, as well as macrophages, was significantly reduced in RIF compared with the controls used herein. This study may provide a novel perspective on the diagnosis and treatment of RIF.

Project description:Improvements in reproductive techniques have resulted in the live birth rates from IVF procedures increasing from 5% to approximately 30% in recent decades but has plateaued since. Emerging preclinical and clinical data implicates endometrial receptivity deficiencies in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) as the predominant factor hindering successful implantation. Mechanisms on how local endometrial injury (LEI) improves implantation rates in patients with RIF are currently unknown. We hypothesized that LEI may influence perivascular endometrial mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (eMSCs) which are thought to regenerate the stromal vascular component of the functional layer every month. Here, we assessed the effect of LEI on the proportion and function of eMSCs present in consecutive LEI biopsies. Consecutive paired mid-luteal phase endometrial biopsies obtained from patients with RIF were digested to single cells and the proportion of SUSD2-expressing cells determined. Growth kinetics and decidualization were compared between the consecutive LEI samples. A mid-luteal LEI altered the decidualization capacity of SUSD2+ eMSCs in women with RIF, but not their proportion or clonogenicity. With the potential of LEI to improve IVF outcomes in women with RIF, additional investigations are needed to understand the impact of the altered decidualization response in eMSCs.

Project description:Transcriptomic studies have identified gene expression profiles characteristic of the window of implantation and preliminary studies have indicated that these may be disrupted in some women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The aims of this study were to elucidate how the endometrial gene expression profile differs between women with RIF and controls, and to investigate whether a predictor set of genes could be identified able to distinguish between these women.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying window of implantation (WOI) displacement in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remain unclear. This study aims to explore the transcriptomic signatures of endometrium with normal and displaced WOIs during HRT cycles and to identify the causes of endometrial receptivity (ER) abnormalities and WOI displacement in RIF patients. 40 RIF patients were recruited and underwent personalized embryo transfer (pET) guided by the predicted results of endometrial receptivity diagnosis (ERD) model. Transcriptome analysis of endometrium from patients with clinical pregnancies after pET was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with WOI displacement. The ERD results indicated that 67.5% of RIF patients (27/40) were non-receptive in the conventional WOI (P+5) of the HRT cycle. The clinical pregnancy rate in RIF patients improved to 65% (26/40) after ERD-guided pET, indicating the effectiveness of transcriptome-based WOI prediction. Among the 26 patients with clinical pregnancy, the gene expression profiles of P+5 endometrium from advanced (n=6), normal (n=10) and delayed (n=10) WOI groups were significantly different from each other. 10 DEGs (CES4A, LRRC1, SLC25A48, TM4SF4, DPP4, CXCR1, CXCR2, OSM, LCN2 and TNFRSF10C ) identified among P+5 endometrium of 3 groups were involved in immunomodulation, transmembrane transport and tissue regeneration, which could accurately classify the endometrium with different WOIs.

Project description:The primary limiting factor for effective IVF treatment is successful embryo implantation. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a condition whereby couples fail to achieve pregnancy despite consecutive embryo transfers. Here we describe the collection of gene expression profiles from mid-luteal phase endometrial biopsies (n = 115) from women experiencing RIF and healthy controls. Using a signature discovery set (n = 81) we identify a signature containing 303 genes predictive of RIF. Independent validation in 34 samples shows that the gene signature predicts RIF with 100% positive predictive value (PPV). The strength of the RIF associated expression signature also stratifies RIF patients into distinct groups with different subsequent implantation success rates. Exploration of the expression changes suggests that RIF is primarily associated with reduced cellular proliferation. The gene signature will be of value in counselling and guiding further treatment of women who fail to conceive upon IVF and suggests new avenues for developing intervention.

Project description:Decidualization is driven by differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and is a prerequisite for successful implantation and establishment of pregnancy. The critical role of impaired decidualization in women suffered recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has been established, while the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In the present study, we verified the essential role of Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) in regulating differentiation and maintaining reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis of human ESCs during decidualization. The abundance of SIRT1 was decreased in RIF patients both in the endometria during window of implantation phase and in the decidualized ESCs. Downregulation of SIRT1 disrupted the intracellular ROS homeostasis during decidualization of ESC, manifested as the accumulation of intracellular ROS level and the reduction of antioxidant stress molecules. Elimination of ROS with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) could rescued the decidualization inhibition caused by SIRT1 knockdown. Further, we explored the insufficient expression of SIRT1 in ESC affected the deacetylation of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), and thus inhibited the transcriptional activity of FOXO1. This could account for the dysregulation of intracellular ROS homeostasis during decidualization and decreased expression of decidual markers. Collectively, our findings provided insight into the role of down-regulated SIRT1 in the poor decidual response of ESCs in RIF patients.

Project description:AimTo learn about the interaction between endometrial microbiota and host gene regulation in recurrent implantation failure.MethodsThe endometrial microbiota of 111 patients (RIF, 75; CON, 36) was analyzed by using 16 s rRNA sequencing technology. Transcriptome sequencing analysis of the endometrial of 60 patients was performed by using high-throughput sequencing.ResultsWe found that the structure and composition of endometrium microbiota community of RIF patients were significantly different from those in control group. The abnormality of microbial structure and composition might interfere with the implantation of embryos by affecting the immune adaptation of the endometrium and the formation of endometrial blood vessels.ConclusionsOur research described the host-microbe interaction in RIF. The structure and composition of endometrium microbiota community of RIF patients were significantly different from those in CON group. The abnormality of microbial structure and composition might interfere with the implantation of embryos by affecting the immune adaptation of the endometrium and the formation of endometrial blood vessels.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the Interaction between chronic endometritis (CE) caused endometrial microbiota disorder and endometrial immune environment change in recurrent implantation failure (RIF).MethodTranscriptome sequencing analysis of the endometrial of 112 patients was preform by using High-Throughput Sequencing. The endometrial microbiota of 43 patients was analyzed by using 16s rRNA sequencing technology.ResultIn host endometrium, CD4 T cell and macrophage exhibited significant differences abundance between CE and non-CE patients. The enrichment analysis indicated differentially expressed genes mainly enriched in immune-related functional terms. Phyllobacterium and Sphingomonas were significantly high infiltration in CE patients, and active in pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism and/or fat metabolism. The increased synthesis of lipopolysaccharide, an important immunomodulator, was the result of microbial disorders in the endometrium.ConclusionThe composition of endometrial microorganisms in CE and non-CE patients were significantly different. Phyllobacterium and Sphingomonas mainly regulated immune cells by interfering with the process of carbohydrate metabolism and/or fat metabolism in the endometrium. CE endometrial microorganisms might regulate Th17 response and the ratio of Th1 to Th17 through lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
