چکیده

the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. supernatants from culture of endometrium or decidual fragments were prepared after 24, 48 and 72 hours. the effect of the supernatants on mitogeninduced lymphoproliferation in vitro was assessed. the percentage of suppression was calculated and then data were evaluated using student's t-test. the results confinned that endometrial immunosuppressive activity exists throughout the reproductive cycle and confirm that early pregnancy decidua is a source of immunoregulatory factors. immunosuppressive activity was increased in early pregnancy decidua compared with secretory phase endometrium but the results did not reach statistical significance. in contrast, the difference in immunosuppressive activity between proliferative endometrium and early pregnancy decidua was highly significant. in conclusion, the high frequency of early embryonic loss before implantation and the low success rate of in vitro fertilization (ivf), embryo transfer and pathological pregnancy in humans can be explained in part by lack of suppressor activity in the endometrium.

IMMUNOSUPPRESSION IN HUMAN UTERINE TISSUES THROUGHOUT THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. Specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. ...

Hormonal characteristics of the human menstrual cycle throughout reproductive life.

The changes in serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FHS), estradiol, and progesterone that occur both early and late in reproductive life were characterized and compared with findings in young, normal women and in patients with certain menstrual disorders. A total of 50 complete menstrual cycles in 37 were examined. Five distinct patterns of hormonal regulatio...

O-31: Epigenetic Aberration of HOXA10 Gene in Human Endometrium throughout The Menstrual Cycle in Endometriosis

Background: Epigenetic aberration such as DNA methylation and histone modifications appear to be involved in various diseases such as Endometriosis. Here, we investigated the epigenetic regulation of HOXA10 promoter, as a crucial gene, responsible for uterine organogenesis, functional endometrial differentiation and endometrial receptivity, and its correlation with mRNA expression of this gene ...

Preventive nutritional supplementation throughout the reproductive life cycle.

Current interest in preventive nutritional supplementation strategies during the reproductive cycle in developed countries focuses mainly on iron and folic acid. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia. Inadequate iron nutrition is mainly a problem in developing countries but it also seems to affect a large proportion of pregnant women in the industrialised world. There is no chance...

Endometrial angiogenesis throughout the human menstrual cycle.

BACKGROUND The timing and mechanisms of new blood vessel formation in the endometrium during the menstrual cycle are still largely unknown. In the present study we used the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) as an in-vivo assay for angiogenesis to assess the angiogenic potential of endometrium obtained at different stages of the menstrual cycle. METHODS Endometrial fragments were exp...

Telomerase activity in the human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle.

In a total of 41 endometrial tissue samples, the relationship between telomerase activity and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labelling index was studied. In samples of endometrium from the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle, telomerase activity was found in 15 out of 17 cases (88%). Two samples from the early proliferative phase showed negative telomerase activity and a low P...
