Endometrial senescence is mediated by interleukin 17 receptor B signaling.

Background: We previously identified Il17RB, a member of the IL17 superfamily, as a candidate marker gene for endometrial aging. While IL17RB has been linked to inflammation and malignancies in several organ systems, its function in the endometrium has not been investigated and is thus poorly understood. In the present study, we performed a functional analysis of this receptor with the aim of determining the effects of its age-associated overexpression on the uterine environment.

Identification of genes associated with endometrial cell ageing.

Ageing of the uterine endometrium is a critical factor that affects reproductive success, but the mechanisms associated with uterine ageing are unclear. In this study, we conducted a qualitative examination of age-related changes in endometrial tissues and identified candidate genes as markers for uterine ageing. Gene expression patterns were assessed by two RNA-sequencing experiments using uterine tissues from wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice.

Contribution of senescence in human endometrial stromal cells during proliferative phase to embryo receptivity†.

Successful assisted reproductive technology pregnancy depends on the viability of embryos and endometrial receptivity. However, the literature has neglected effects of the endometrial environment during the proliferative phase on implantation success or failure. Human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) were isolated from endometrial tissues sampled at oocyte retrieval during the proliferative phase from women undergoing infertility treatment.

Infertility after abdominal trachelectomy.

Introduction: Despite numerous reports on pregnancy outcomes after trachelectomy, there are few descriptions of fertility treatment after trachelectomy. Moreover, little is known about the differences in fertility outcomes between various radical trachelectomy procedures. The purpose of this report was to clarify the infertility problems that occur in patients who have previously undergone an abdominal trachelectomy.
