Deficient expression of monoamine oxidase A in the endometrium is associated with implantation failure in women participating as recipients in oocyte donation.

چکیده
Successful implantation depends both on the quality of the embryo and on the endometrial receptivity. The latter depends on progesterone-induced changes in gene expression, a process that has been characterized by microarray analysis. One of the genes whose transcription appears to be enhanced during the receptive period is monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). Our first objective was to confirm the increased expression of MAO-A in the endometrium during the receptive phase of spontaneous normal cycles using real time PCR and immunofluorescence. The second objective was to examine the endometrial expression of MAO-A during the receptive phase induced by exogenous estradiol (E(2)) and progesterone in patients whose endometrium was shown to have been either receptive or non-receptive to embryo implantation in repeated cycles of oocyte donation. Results showed that MAO-A transcript levels increased between the pre-receptive (LH+3) and receptive phase (LH+7) in all spontaneous cycles examined, with a median increase of 25-fold. Immunofluorescent labelling demonstrated MAO-A localization to the glandular and luminal epithelium with an increasing positive score between LH+3 and LH+7. Conversely, prior failure of embryo implantation was associated with a 29-fold decrease in MAO-A mRNA levels and a substantial reduction in MAO-A protein immunofluorescent label score. These results show a strong association between endometrial receptivity and MAO-A expression in the endometrial epithelium, suggesting an important role for this enzyme in normal implantation.

Background: Oocyte donation and assisted reproductive technology (ART) give women with ovarian failure, advanced reproductive age, inheritable disorders or recurrent implantation failure, the ability to conceive. The success of oocyte donation is reportedly influenced by multiple parameters of the oocyte donor and recipient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the donor and recipient va...
متن کاملDifferences in the endometrial transcript profile during the receptive period between women who were refractory to implantation and those who achieved pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Gene expression profiling of normal receptive endometrium has been characterized, but intrinsic defects in endometrial gene expression associated with implantation failure have not been reported. METHODS Women who had previously participated as recipients in oocyte donation cycles and repeatedly exhibited implantation failure (Group A, study group) or had at least one successful cy...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of NOTCH signaling molecules in the endometrium of women with various gynecological diseases during the window of implantation
Objective(s): NOTCH signaling pathway is well known for its role in cell fate, cell survival, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Some of the NOTCH signaling genes are critical for endometrial function and implantation in animals and appear to play a similar role in humans. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the potential roles of some main components of the NOTCH family in hu...
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 کاملP-157: TLR5 Gene Expression in Endometrium of Women with Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is usually defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20th week of gestation. Although different factors are considered as etiology of RSA but in some cases, despite of extensive work up, the cause of RSA remains unknown which called unexplained RSA. Immunological factors are suggested as etiological factors of unexplained RSA. ...
