Objectives: Endometrial receptivity plays the most important role for successful implantation. Increasing endometrial receptivity may improve infertility and increase Assisted Reproductive Technologies success. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exosome specific markers CD63 and CD9 which are promising molecules in the pathogenesis and treatment of many diseases on endometrial receptivity in women with unexplained infertility.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was conducted between November 2015 and March 2017. Proliferation and secretion periods of endometrial samples from fertile and infertile cases were collected. The paraffin-embedded tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for the immunohistochemical analysis distributions of CD63 and CD9.
Results: The results of this study demonstrated that the CD63 immunoreactivity was higher in both luminal and glandular epithelium of infertile patients when compared with fertile patients during the proliferative phase (p = 0.009, p = 0.008). In the infertile proliferation phase, endometrium CD9 immunoreactivity was rarely detected in both the luminal and glandular epithelium. In the secretion phase of endometrium, CD9 immunoreactivity was mild in fertile patients, the increased immunoreactivity of CD9 was observed in both luminal and glandular epithelium of infertile patients (p = 0.037, p = 0.037).
Conclusions: Increased levels of CD63 in infertile proliferation phase endometrium should represent an unfavorable signaling. Moreover, the increased levels of CD9 in infertile secretion phase endometrium could be used as a biomarker to evaluate endometrial receptivity. These exosome-specific markers can be considered as potential molecular markers of infertility.

Background: Alterations in lipid metabolism were reported to impact human fertility; however, there is limited evidence on the association of lipid metabolism with embryo implantation as well as the etiology of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially regarding arachidonic acid metabolism.
Methods: Experimental verification research (16 RIF patients and 30 control patients) based on GEO database analysis (24 RIF patients and 24 control patients). The methods in bioinformatics included differential gene screening, functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network, cluster analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and so forth.
Article Synopsis
- PFOS is a chemical frequently used in industries that can enter the environment and is resistant to breakdown, leading to health concerns.
- Recent studies show a link between PFOS exposure in humans and various diseases, highlighting its impact on human health.
- Research indicates that PFOS negatively affects endometrial cell function and morphology, potentially leading to issues with embryo implantation due to mitochondrial damage and alterations in key protein expression.

The downregulation of anti-adhesive regulatory proteins and upregulation of adhesive genes are critical for the receptive endometrium. This study was designed to determine whether switching between the anti-adhesive podocalyxin (PDX) and adhesive HOXA10 receptivity modulator occurs in the endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Twenty-four patients with RIF who could not conceive for three or more cycles despite good-quality embryo transfer constituted the study group.

Reduced lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) expression in patients with adenomyosis during the mid-secretory phase leads to impaired endometrial receptivity, affecting embryo implantation. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying reduced endometrial receptivity in 25 adenomyosis patients and 25 controls. Functional experiments were conducted using human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) and TERT-immortalized HESCs(T-HESCs), with final validation performed using a mouse model.

Background: Embryo implantation involves two key elements: a good quality embryo and receptive endometrium. Endometrial receptivity abnormalities are known as one of the possible causes of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially when the embryo is euploid. This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of age and other clinical factors on endometrial receptivity in women with RIF.
