Comparative Proteomics Indicates Metformin Ameliorates Endometrial Receptivity of infertile women with Endometriosis


ABSTRACT: Background: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive age women and 30%-50% of infertile women. Decreased endometrial receptivity is mainly responsible for infertile women with minimal/mild endometriosis. Medical therapy to improve fecundity of these women is needed. Metformin is reported to inhibit growth of ectopic lesions in endometriosis, while the effect on eutopic endometrium is unclear. The study was to identify if metformin had effect on eutopic endometrium in women with minimal/mild endometriosis and thus improve their fecundity. Materials and Methods: Paired endometrial tissues of secretory phase from participants with minimal/mild endometriosis were collected before and after two months of metformin treatment and setting metformin-free control. Protein expression profiles of endometrium were analyzed by proteomics. Results: A total of 115 proteins were detected up-regulated after metformin therapy, including Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7, α-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein D, Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 1, brain form glycogen phosphorylase, and Cathepsin B that associated with endometrial receptivity, while there had no significant changes in controls. These up-regulated markers were validated through target proteomics and further demonstrated with endometriosis mice models. Conclusions: This study revealed that metformin might ameliorate biomarkers expressions of endometrial receptivity in human and mice model. Metformin is potential to improve endometrial receptivity of endometriosis-associated infertility.
