Differential Gene Expression in Endometrium, Endometrial Lymphocytes, and Trophoblasts during Successful and Abortive Embryo Implantation

Abortive Embryo Implantation and Trophoblasts during Successful and Endometrium, Endometrial Lymphocytes, Differential Gene Expression in

Differential gene expression in endometrium, endometrial lymphocytes, and trophoblasts during successful and abortive embryo implantation.

Prenatal mortality reaching 30% occurs during the first weeks of gestation in commercial swine. Mechanisms for this are unknown although poor uterine blood supply has been postulated. In other species, vascular endothelial growth factor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, and IFN-gamma regulate gestational endometrial angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factor ...

Characterization of calreticulin expression in mouse endometrium during embryo implantation.

Calreticulin (CRT), a Ca(2+)-binding storage protein and chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum, modulates cell adhesiveness and integrin-dependent Ca(2+) signaling. However, the role of CRT during implantation remains poorly understood. In the present study, we characterized the expression of CRT mRNA and the protein in mouse endometria from pregnancy DI to D7. Real-Time PCR and in situ hybrid...

Human Endometrial Receptivity and Embryo- Endometrium Interactions

Infertility is an increasing medical and social problem affecting more than 10% of couples worldwide. Many underlying causes of human infertility have been overcome by assisted reproductive techniques; nevertheless, the implantation process remains one of the rate-limiting step as regards the success of the treatment. A prerequisite for successful implantation is the adequate preparation of a r...
