Multiple Female Reproductive Failures in Cyclooxygenase 2–Deficient Mice
Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and exists in two isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2. In spite of long-standing speculation, definitive roles of PGs in various events of early pregnancy remain elusive. We demonstrate herein that the targeted disruption of COX-2, but not COX-1, in mice produces multiple failures in female reproductive processes th...
متن کاملI-24: The Role of Interleukins, Integrins and Other Proteins in Recurrent Implantation Failure
Embryo implantation represents the most critical step of the reproductive process in many species. Inadequate uterine receptivity is responsible for approximately two-thirds of implantation failures. The cell adhesion molecule (CAM) such as integrins, cadherins, selectins and immunoglobulins intervene to ensure adhesiveness between the embryo and the endometrium. Some recent studies indicate th...
متن کاملEmbryo implantation after assisted reproductive procedures and maternal thrombophilia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Women undergoing assisted reproductive procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fail to achieve pregnancy in approximately 70% of cases. Postulating that among the possible causes of failure of embryo implantation might be an impairment of the uteroplacental circulation due to hypercoagulability in the mother, we inv...
متن کاملHeart defects in connexin43-deficient mice.
Cardiac malformation in connexin43 (CX43)-disrupted mice is restricted to the junction between right ventricle and outflow tract, even though CX43 is also expressed abundantly elsewhere. We analyzed cardiac morphogenesis in immunohistochemically and hybridohistochemically stained and three-dimensionally reconstructed serial sections of CX43-deficient embryos between embryonic day (ED) 10 and bi...
متن کاملSubtle Neuromuscular Defects in Utrophin-deficient Mice
Utrophin is a large cytoskeletal protein that is homologous to dystrophin, the protein mutated in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. In skeletal muscle, dystrophin is broadly distributed along the sarcolemma whereas utrophin is concentrated at the neuromuscular junction. This differential localization, along with studies on cultured cells, led to the suggestion that utrophin is required fo...
