[ 2 ] - P-246: Gene Variation of TLR4 in Patients with Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition associated with degrees of pelvic pain and infertility. Toll-like receptors play a key role in immune response, by regulating inflammatory reactions and activating adaptive immune response to eliminate infectious pathogens and cancer debris. Pol...

[ 3 ] - P-189: Gene Variations of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis, a common, benign, estrogendependent and chronic inflammatory condition, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue that is found primarily in the peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal septum. In addition to its usual description as a hormonal disorder, some genetic, immunological and environmental factors can affect this disease. Toll-like receptors (...

[ 4 ] - P-162: Pathophysiology of Endometriosis is Interacted by MIF, its Receptor and COX-2

Background: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease associated with severe pelvic pain and infertility. Immunological changes that occur in patients with endometriosis include reduced natural killer cell and T-lymphocyte cytotoxicity in the peritoneal fluid, and an elevated number of activated macrophages. MIF via its receptor, CD74, initiates a signaling cascade that leads to proliferation an...

[ 5 ] - P-202: Reduced Expression of JMJD1A Histone Demethylase Gene in Testis Tissues of Infertile Men Referred to Royan Institute

Background: Epigenetic modifications are involved in different cellular processes through regulating chromatin dynamics. histone methylation is an important modification that can be dynamically regulated by histone methyltransferase and histone demethylase enzymes. JMJD1A (also known as JHDM2A and KDM3A) is a histone demethylase specific for H3K9me2/me1. JMJD1A is a key epigenetic regulator tha...

[ 6 ] - P-204: Evaluation of FMR1 Gene Regulatory Region for The Epigenetic Mark of H3K9 Acetylation in Blood Cells of Patients with Diminished Ovarian Reserve Reffered to Royan Institute

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a heterogeneous disorder causing infertility, characterized by a decreased number of oocytes and high FSH level, the genetic cause of which is still unknown. The association between FMR1 premutations(50-200 CGG repeats) and the premature ovarian failure( POF) disease has suggested that FMR1 gene acts as a risk factor for POF and recently for DOR p...

[ 7 ] - P-209: Decreased Expression of Histone Acetyltransferase CDY1 Gene in Testis Tissue May Lead to Decreased Expression of Transition Protein (TNP) and Protamine (PRM) Genes,Causing Male Infertility

Background: Infertility is a complex medical problem. About 15% of couples are infertile, and male infertility being involved in roughly 50% of the cases. Among these, many cases are associated with a severe impairment of spermatogenesis. During the last stage of spermatogenesis (spermiogenesis), sperm chromatin endures complex modifications in which histones are lost and depositioned with tran...

[ 8 ] - P-217: Expression Analysis of The Histone Variant H2A.Z in Endometrium Tissue during The Menstrual Cycle

Background: The human endometrium undergoes cyclical changes including proliferation, differentiation, tissue breakdown and shedding (menstruation) throughout a woman’s reproductive life. The postovulatory rise in ovarian progestrone induces profound remodeling in chromatin structure of cells, and consequently differentiation of estradiol-primed endometrium. This change is crucial for embryo im...

[ 9 ] - P-219: The Role of E-Cadherin Coding Gene (CDH1) in Pathogenesis of Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis, a gyncological disorder,benign and common cause of infertility, is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at ectopic locations outside the uterine cavity. Clinical observations have led to the assessment that endometriosis is an invasive disease. Abnormal expression of adhesion molecules such as cadherins is likely to be an important determinant of l...

[ 10 ] - P-194: SEPT12-G800A Polymorphism in Azoospermic Infertile Men Referred to Royan Institute

Background: SEPTINS belong to a family of polymerizing GTP-binding proteins that are required for many cellular functions, such as vesicular trafficking, mitosis, membrane compartmentalization and cytoskeletal remodeling. Among all SEPTIN genes, SEPT12 is dominantly expressed in testis tissue of adults, known as an essential annulus component of mature sperm. Therefore, it is hypothesized that ...
