چکیده

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the expression of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in basal decidual cells and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). A total of 39 patients with a history of RSA were enrolled into the RSA group. A further 30 females who had experienced normal pregnancy were enrolled into the control group. The mRNA expression of PAPP-A in basal decidual cells was analyzed using real-time PCR. The distribution and expression of PAPP-A protein levels in basal decidual cells were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between PAPP-A protein levels and RSA was analyzed. The levels of PAPP-A mRNA in the RSA group were significantly decreased, compared with the control group (P<0.05). Consistent with the mRNA levels, the protein levels of PAPP-A were also significantly lower in the RSA group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that the suppression of PAPP-A was one of the risk factors for RSA. Furthermore, Hosmer-Lemeshow analysis suggested that the expression levels of PAPP-A is an important factor for predicting RSA. In conclusion, the expression levels of the PAPP-A protein were significantly reduced in basal decidual cells of the RSA group compared with the control group. Therefore, PAPP-A is likely to play an important role in RSA.

Endometrial Granulated Lymphocytes in Women Suffering Spontaneous Early Pregnancy Loss

Spontaneous abortion is the most common complication of pregnancy. Several lines of evidence indicate that immunologic effector cells may play a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic repetitive abortions. Leukocytes form a substantial proportion of stromal cells in decidua and the endometrial granulated lymphocytes (eGL) is the predominant decidual leukocyte population in the first trimester o...

The Assessment of NK Cytotoxicity and CD56+/CD16+ Phenotype by Flowcytometry in PBL Isolated from Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Background: Human peripheral blood NK cells constitutively express CD56 and CD16 antigens. Peripheral blood NK cells seem to be strongly related with decidual NK cells, and may reflect the decidual NK cell functional status. There are varied reports concerning the relationship between NK cell cytotoxicity in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Objective: To study NK activity in women wit...
